All I Know
Rising Above: Roscoe Dash's Journey to the Top in 'All I Know'
Lyrics
Alright, come on
Expressing encouragement or agreement to proceed
Oh
An interjection, possibly signaling excitement or anticipation
Come on
Encouraging someone to move forward or urging action
I know I sound a little different on the radio,
Acknowledging a difference in how the speaker sounds on the radio
But don't be mad, I'm just doin' what they pay me for.
Explaining that the speaker is simply fulfilling obligations for which they are paid
I find myself constantly thinkin' "what they hatin' for?" but I know
Wondering why others are expressing hatred or negativity
It's 'cause I made it to the top and,
Recognizing that reaching the top has provoked animosity from others
I ain't never stoppin', can't nobody bring me down
Determined to continue progressing without allowing anyone to bring them down
Need a fire from a flame, now watch me change the Game,
Desiring a spark of inspiration to make significant changes in the industry
This gon' be how they cool me down
Expecting that this will be how people perceive the speaker's cooling down period
Ooh
An exclamation reflecting emotions or excitement
I'm burnin' up, when you hear me on the radio, gonna turn it up
Feeling intense and ready to be noticed when heard on the radio
It's the ulti-imitated, but never duplicated
Asserting uniqueness that others attempt to copy but cannot replicate
Wonderin' why these niggas hatin', but it's probably 'cause I made it
Speculating on reasons why others may dislike or envy the speaker
And the top is such a lonely place,
Highlighting the isolation or lack of genuine connections at the top
Like everywhere that I go I can't help but to see a phony face,
Expressing suspicion about encountering insincere individuals everywhere
'cause the same ones doubt me,
Noting those who previously doubted the speaker
When it comes bout me, get the fuck around me now
Advising those who doubted to stay away from the speaker now
Roscoe Dash goin' straight to the top,
Declaring the intention to ascend to the top
'cause I'm so turned up and I can't turn down I swear its
Confident in being highly energetic and unable to diminish that energy
It's all I know, I grind hard, and I know it shows,
Expressing that the speaker's relentless effort is evident and defining
But it's all I know
Reiterating that this lifestyle is the only one familiar to the speaker
Come on
Encouragement or prompting to continue
I know I sound a little different on the radio,
Similar to line 4, acknowledging a difference in how the speaker sounds on the radio
But don't be mad, I'm just doin' what they pay me for.
Repeating the explanation that the speaker is complying with obligations for compensation
I find myself constantly thinkin' "what they hatin for?" but I know
Reflecting on the persisting question about the reasons behind others' negativity
It's 'cause I made it to the top and,
Reaffirming that reaching the top has generated animosity
I ain't never stoppin', can't nobody bring me down
Reiterating determination to persist despite attempts to bring the speaker down
Need a fire from a flame, now watch me change the Game,
Desiring a transformative moment to impact the industry
This gonna be how they cool me down
Expectation that this action will be perceived as the speaker's cooldown phase
