Love All Lyrics
[Intro]
Previously on Ready To Die
[Chorus: Drake]
Never had a lot, this is all I need
People never care 'til it's R.I.P.
N!ggas turned they back on me for no good reason
Loyalty is priceless and it's all I need
Can't burn a bridge just to light my way
Lotta '42 on the flights I'm taking
Pouring out my soul and it might sound crazy
Lotta falling outs help me build foundation
Never had a lot, this is all I need
People never care 'til it's R.I.P.
N!ggas turned they back on me for no good reason
[Verse 1: Drake]
Never had a lot, this is all I need
Lost individuals is all I see
Grab the top spot like "pardon my reach"
Woke up one day and it was all on me
If it comes down, it's gone fall on me
Lotta '42 on the flights I'm taking
Long way down from the heights I'm chasing
Just touched down, I was lights out in Vegas
Girls checking in 'cause my lifestyle dangerous
Hard to tell people that I'm all out of favors
Call me for songs or they call me for paper
Turning off my phone for the night now, baby
Pouring out my soul and it might sound crazy
Some of my n!ggas don't love me
We should sit down before sh!t turns ugly
We should sit down since you said things about me
[Chorus: Drake]
Never had a lot, this is all I need
People never care 'til it's R.I.P.
N!ggas turned they back on me for no good reason
Loyalty is priceless and it's all I need
Can't burn a bridge just to light my way
Lotta '42 on the flights I'm taking
Pouring out my soul and it might sound crazy
Lotta falling outs help me build foundation
Never had a lot, this is all I need
People never care 'til it's R.I.P.
N!ggas turned they back on me for no good reason
[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
N!ggas wanted to kill me and y'all still with 'em
N!gga, y'all chill with 'em
And y'all wonder why we not friends?
Best thing I can do is not build with you
When I could destroy you
That takes some f**king discipline
I could send a team to come drill you
I got a billion or two and I know where the f**k you live
N!ggas gotta chill with talking gangsta
You should just thank us, humble yourselves a little bit
This ain't the same Shawn that you knew once
I don't shine shoes, uh, this ain't what you want, no
All that back and forth on the internet
N!gga, we don't tennis that, y'all gotta do something, yeah
Only thing we 'spect now is violence
Anything besides this, we playing violins, uh
I'm public enemy
N!ggas wanted to kill me and y'all want me to be friendly
N!ggas want sympathy after they wanted to end me
Be those closest to it be the very ones that envy
Shout out to the family
I don't want no friends no more, not many understand me
Everybody want something
You know the price of everything but the value of nothing
But everybody want something
You know the price of everything but the value of nothing
[Chorus: Drake]
Never had a lot, this is all I need
People never care 'til it's R.I.P.
N!ggas turned they back on me for no good reason
Loyalty is priceless and it's all I need
Can't burn a bridge just to light my way
Lotta '42 on the flights I'm taking
Pouring out my soul and it might sound crazy
Lotta falling outs help me build foundation
Never had a lot, this is all I need
People never care 'til it's R.I.P.
N!ggas turned they back on me for no good reason
Facts & Meaning Explained
"Love All" is a song by Drake featuring Jay-Z from Drake's album "Certified Lover Boy," released in 2021. The song touches on themes of loyalty, betrayal, fame, and the complexities of relationships in the music industry. Let's break down the meaning of the lyrics paragraph by paragraph.
[Intro]
The "Previously on Ready To Die" part is likely a reference to the album "Ready to Die" by The Notorious B.I.G., where the intro is reminiscent of how television shows recap previous episodes. It sets the stage for the narrative and prepares the listener for the upcoming content.
[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the importance of loyalty, highlighting how people may not care about someone's struggles until they face a tragic event (R.I.P). Drake acknowledges that he has never had a lot, but he realizes that loyalty is invaluable in his life. He may have experienced friends or acquaintances turning their backs on him without a good reason, which has made him value loyalty even more.
[Verse 1]
Drake continues the theme of not having a lot but realizing that he doesn't need much beyond loyal individuals in his circle. He sees many lost souls around him, and it seems that his rise to success has put him in a position where he holds the top spot, but this comes with responsibility ("pardon my reach").
The mention of '42 on the flights I'm takin' could refer to Drake's preference for 1942 Tequila, a luxury brand often associated with celebration and success. The "heights I'm chasin'" suggest he has ambitious goals and aspirations in his career.
The reference to being "lights out in Vegas" could indicate wild nights and parties. Despite the glamorous lifestyle, Drake realizes that some people are around him only for personal gain, which makes it hard to trust others. He also reflects on falling out with some of his friends, but these experiences have helped him build a strong foundation for himself and his future.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the realization that people tend to value others more when they are no longer around.
[Verse 2]
In Jay-Z's verse, he addresses the issue of people wanting to harm or discredit him, yet they still pretend to be friendly. He suggests that the best response to such negativity is not to engage and waste time but rather to distance oneself and focus on personal growth and success.
The line "I got a billion or two" refers to Jay-Z's immense wealth and success as a billionaire entrepreneur and artist. He implies that he knows personal information about those who seek to harm him, but he chooses not to act upon it ("I could send a team to come drill you"). Instead, he exercises discipline and restraint.
Jay-Z mentions that he's not the same person he once was, and he no longer engages in menial or subservient tasks (such as shining shoes). He asserts his authority and confidence in his current position.
He addresses the back-and-forth internet drama ("back and forth on the internet") and suggests that he's not interested in engaging in such trivial disputes ("we don't tennis that"). Instead, he calls for action and meaningful change.
Jay-Z acknowledges that he has become a controversial figure ("public enemy"), but he believes that some people are hypocritical, seeking sympathy after previously wanting to harm him. He's grateful for his true family and loyal friends, as they are the ones who truly understand him.
The lines "Everybody want something / You know the price of everything but the value of nothing" point to a prevalent issue in the music industry and life in general. People often focus on material gain and short-term benefits without appreciating the deeper value of relationships and loyalty.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated once again, reinforcing the central themes of the song.
In summary, "Love All" by Drake and Jay-Z delves into the struggles of fame, the challenges of maintaining loyalty in the music industry, and the feelings of betrayal and isolation that can come with success. Both artists reflect on their journeys, the value of true friendship, and the need to be cautious about who to trust. The song serves as a candid expression of their experiences in the music world, offering insights into the complexities of their lives and relationships.
