Swear to God I won't tell

All I know is smoke weed, rob steal and sell dope
Roll dice, get money and gang bang with my folk

Never again will I let a fuck try me

Squiggly lines and ivy closed caskets you dump bastards
From eastside to riverdale fake wheels thunder bells

Waka Flocka Flame's song "All I Know" is a rap song that glorifies a life of crime and violence. The repeated line "Swear to God I won't tell" is a warning to listeners not to snitch on the singer or his gang. The chorus "For my click imma ride or die" reinforces the bond that exists among the group members who are willing to do anything for each other, including engaging in illegal activities.
The first verse of the song describes a typical day in the life of the singer. He is eating chips and smoking weed while chilling on his front porch. When a car pulls up, he grabs his pistol and prepares to defend himself. The second verse reaffirms the singer's commitment to his lifestyle of smoking, robbing, and selling drugs. The verse also references fellow rappers Dre and Gucci.
The song's lyrics are violent, misogynistic, and contain profanity. Waka Flocka Flame's style is characterized by aggressive, high-energy delivery, which contributes to the song's overall tone. One interpretation of the song is that it is a commentary on the harsh realities of life in poverty-stricken neighborhoods, where crime and gang violence are prevalent. Another interpretation is that the song is promoting a destructive and harmful lifestyle.
