Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't even empty handed I beg your pardon
If I'm departing I'm taking everything
Cause I'll be damned if another bitch wore your last name
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Say I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I went looking for ur phone when I shouldn't have
Cause I found just what I was looking for
A new number says its Kelly should I call it or should I just ignore
Now I'm sittin' here wondering when you're coming home
Then I thought about it everything that's going on
I gotta leave this relationship
But I'm not leaving here
So let me get my list out
What do I want other than this house
First off let me put your bitch out call me crazy if you want her
But I don't care
Now back to my list
Gotta have the house check
Do I want the car check
Do I want the money check
Gotta have it all check
And I deserve it hope it was worth it
And I don't think that I'll be needing your service
I need his house (I need his house)
I need his car (I need his car)
And then the bank (and then the bank)
I want it all (I want it all)
I gave you all my love and got nothing in return
So now I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
Gimmi the house (gimmi the house)
Gimmi the car (gimmi the car)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
If I'm gonna have to hurt u gonna feel it how I feel it
Play the cards how I deal it
You know I was the realist
Cause the way you going bout this like I never meant shit
Now you want the other bitch cause we had an argument
O-K roll the dice I'm a show you how it go
And since u wanna do it dirty watch this fire crack a blow
This ain't no tip or tap shit its all about the principle
How you expect to leave me without a comma or decimal
Pay me for my pain
Pay me for my time
Nigga you can say the bullshit cause everything is mine
From the house in west pond to the yatch in burlese
You can keep your sad face baby hand me them keys
Cause the shit you said it did it
Threw me way off track
But when a woman is fed up no it ain't no turning back
Only thing gonna make me smile is if I feel my satisfaction
Is seeing you hurt is fuckin' you suffering while I'm relaxing
So now I need his house (I need his house)
I need his cars (I need his cars)
And then the bank (and then the bank)
I want it all (I want it all)
I gave you all my love and got nothing in return
So now I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
Gimmi the house (gimmi the house)
I need the car (gimmi the car)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all (I want it all)
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Say I want it all
Say I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I need his house
I need his car
And then the bank
I want it all
I want it I want it
I earned it
Your a liar your a cheater
Gimmi what I need
I'll leave you alone if you gimmi what I please
Ooh I want it all
Ooh ooh be a man about it
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all (you know what you did to me)
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Put your hands up ladies if you want it all
Say I want it all
Say I want it all
I want it all
The lyrics of "I Want It All" by Trina ft. Ludacris, is about a woman who's been betrayed by her partner and has decided to leave the relationship but not before taking everything she wants. She talks about how she won't leave empty-handed and will take the house, the cars, the money, and anything she wants because she's been hurt and deserves it all. The song starts with her explaining that she's not empty-handed and that she wants it all before she leaves. She then goes on to explain how she found a new number on his phone and how he's been unfaithful. She decides that she's leaving but is not leaving empty-handed. She then goes through a list of everything she wants, including the house, the cars, and the money.
The song seems to be about empowerment and taking back control after being hurt. The lyrics suggest that the woman wants to show her partner that she won't be pushed around and that she deserves better. The chorus repeats the lines "Put your hands up ladies if you want it all" and "Say I want it all," which could be seen as a call to action for other women who may have been hurt in relationships.
Overall, "I Want It All" is an empowering song that speaks to anyone who's ever been hurt in a relationship and wants to take back control. It's also a reminder that we should always stand up for ourselves and demand what we deserve.

Fun facts for the kiddos:
1. Kanye West is the first person coming out of the bus.
2. Kanye West produced this song
3. This is a Kanye beat.
4. 2Chainz is the 3rd man out of the bus.
5. Rick Ross is the man getting out of the taxi
6. This is the time right before MP3's became mainstream, so people would either go to Tower Records, or Sam Goody, and actually buy the single. Or Kazaam it.
7. A real pioneer in female Hip-Hop, she opened the way for females to have more creative control in the production of their music.
8. 2 months before this video debuted, Trina and Missy Elliot signed a 9 year old girl to a record deal, "Lil Brianna" to be on her music video, Kandi... That 9 year old girl is now 28 uear old Brianna Perry.

Here from Tyler the Creators converse interview. Also, one thing I noticed was when Luda said “ u ain’t seen no tricks like mine, u ain’t seen no flicks like mine”, Tyler used this cadence in a song he did with Rocky called “What the fuck right now”, which was a remix to Kanye’s “Freestyle 4”. I’m nerding out too much, anyways this is awesome! 🔥
@darriuswilliams8320
Good ear!
@zakkbeckett6171
nice catch
@leftshotta
Tyler pulls a lot from Luda with his flows and cadences from time to time especially the second verse on “massa”
