Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I'm all about my paper so baby be 'bout yours)

If you're looking for a playa then baby I'm that boy
I'm all about my paper so baby be 'bout yours

I'm like a boat rider I may have my up's and downs
But I'm straight like club liquor, niggas watered down
I ship through the city, hit a bassline

Track kick through the city while I piss through the city
Incredible hawk, the fact is in me
I can see the change when I twist the cap off the Remmy
And you can blame rap while I follow bold dreams
Tryin'a blow up off the map like Apollo 13
And I ain't coming back down
(?) gravity, yea I'm holdin' it down
Waitin' in the low ride but I'm in the front now
When I fry nigga heads up better duck down
No lift on when they hear 'what now?'
Now nigga six leg he scored a touch down
I ain't down with the shit, you'll be lucky if I pound
Cos I'm man for a chick, this life's getting fast

It's all or nothin'

Y'all niggas don't live like a stunted gold grill
Y'all really don't feel that it's all or nothin'
Y'all niggas don't feel how I'm comin'
Y'all still gettin' skrill from ya mother
That ain't all or nothin'
I ain't even got a deal but I'm bustin'
No plan B motherfucker it's all or nothin'
I do it for niggas out here hustlin'
No plan B motherfucker it's all or nothin'

I make it interesting double or nothin'
Switch the game like a jump rope, double the dutches
I win the bet gettin' two times chedder
All I did was outta rope now I'm two times better
I keep running so I keep getting better
Keep a burner and a clip, hold kinks and yetta
That's - sixteen shots for your peeps nigga peep this
I got a frying pan and some grease for that beef shit
Don't need a diving board to hop off on some deep shit
I'm like a cross walk nigga always on that street shit
You niggas counting off
I bust cos my rap style keeps jacking off
Gotta take my jacket off
I attack the soft, unattach the jaws
How you suckin' through a straw eatin' apple sauce
This a man's game
So as long as I live and I'm here nigga I'ma do the deal like

Y'all niggas don't live like a stunted gold grill
Y'all really don't feel that it's all or nothin'
Y'all niggas don't feel how I'm comin'
Y'all still gettin' skrill from ya mother
That ain't all or nothin'
I ain't even got a deal but I'm bustin'
No plan B motherfucker it's all or nothin'

I do it for niggas out here hustlin'
No plan B motherfucker it's all or nothin'

He talks about shipping through the city and hitting a bassline, all while holding down his position and not coming back down. The artist's confidence is palpable as he talks about his desire to succeed and achieve his dreams.

In the chorus, the artist emphasizes the idea that success is an all-or-nothing proposition. He calls out others who may not be living up to this standard, saying "Y'all niggas don't live like a stunted gold grill/Y'all really don't feel that it's all or nothin'." He encourages others to follow his lead and commit fully to their goals, stating "I do it for niggas out here hustlin'/No plan B motherfucker it's all or nothin'."

Overall, the lyrics are a classic example of the hip-hop genre's fascination with wealth, status, and the pursuit of success. They are also a declaration of the artist's determination to achieve these goals no matter what, and a call to others to follow his lead.
