All Of Us Lyrics – Kodak Black

All Of Us Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, Kodak Black is saying that his success isn’t just for himself—it’s for everyone around him. He’s been working hard and making money not just for his own benefit but for his family and friends too. He even admits that sometimes he cares about others more than himself. This sets the tone for the song, showing that despite his wealth and fame, his loyalty and love for his people remain strong.

[Verse 1]
Kodak starts by repeating that he made success possible not just for himself but for his whole team. He’s been focused on making money, building wealth, and creating a better life for those around him. He mentions living in luxury, like having three-story houses, expensive cars, and even a lake with a dolphin. These lines highlight how far he has come from his rough beginnings.

He then shifts to talking about his relationships and street life. He mentions a woman in his life, calling her his “bottom girl,” meaning she’s loyal to him. However, he also makes it clear that he doesn’t get too attached, as he blocks people after being with them. This could mean that despite his success, he still has trust issues and keeps his guard up.

Kodak also talks about protection and loyalty. He has people who follow and look out for him, ensuring no one messes with him. He compares his decision-making to calling audibles in football, meaning he’s always making quick moves and adjusting to situations. He mentions jewelry, saying he has “more ice than an article,” which likely refers to having more diamonds than an article (like a newspaper) could describe or even more ice than Antarctica. This shows how much wealth he has accumulated.

Despite all the money, he feels like he’s still being judged or suspected of illegal activities. He talks about how he puts money back into his community and takes care of his people, but at the same time, he’s aware of enemies who might try to rob him. He makes it clear that he won’t tolerate threats—he’s willing to go to extreme lengths to protect himself.

Kodak then reflects on his transition from the streets to a life of luxury. He now lives in Beverly Hills, a huge step up from where he came from. However, he calls out other rappers for faking their lifestyle, saying their diamonds lack clarity and that they rap about things they never actually did. He prides himself on being real and even mentions donating a large sum of money to charity, showing that he gives back.

He refers to himself as a “Derrick King,” which could mean he’s at the top of the game like Derrick Henry (a dominant football player) or that he’s a king in his own right. He mentions marriage, possibly hinting at wanting loyalty from his partner. But at the same time, he admits that he’s deeply involved in the streets, saying he needs someone to truly be there for him.

Kodak then talks about his appearance and how he doesn’t consider himself a “pretty boy.” His dreads are rough, almost like a porcupine, representing his rugged nature. He refuses to leave his friends behind, making sure they all have opportunities and success in business, like a clothing line. He reminds listeners that he’s from a tough, “dirty” part of the South, not a glamorous background.

In the final lines of this verse, he touches on conflicts with others. He says if people want “beef” with him (problems or drama), he’s ready, but he flips the meaning with a clever line—he has “mashed potatoes and curly fries,” meaning he’s prepared for anything in a humorous way.

[Chorus]
Kodak emphasizes again that everything he does is for his people. He feels strong when he’s with his crew and stays focused when he’s with his partner. But despite all the money he has, he questions his happiness. He repeats the question, wondering where he would be without his family, showing that even with success, he still values his relationships more than wealth.
