All Things Considered Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Pusha T]
Trying to reflect honestly on his current state.

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Pusha T opens up about the emotional highs and lows he’s been through. He misses his mother and cherishes family moments, especially with his son asking for siblings. He quietly reveals that his partner had a miscarriage, something they kept private, and he’s relieved his son didn’t have to feel that pain. He talks about preparing for a new baby with things like strollers already ordered, even investing money with his child in mind. Then he shifts to his mindset—aiming high, never settling. He touches on his ruthless past, being unapologetic about turning people into statistics, referring to violence and betrayal. There’s a dark confidence in how he talks about navigating dangerous circles, being both feared and respected. He warns about people pretending to be friends while secretly plotting, referencing how some folks act like they have your back, but really don’t. That line about “J. Princing” hints at using quiet power and influence behind the scenes.

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
This part shines a light on luxury and success. Pharrell brags about replacing one high-end watch with an even more expensive one, wearing exotic designer gear, and stashing wealth for the future. He’s not about borrowing or struggling anymore; he’s all in on living big. Even if things fall apart, they’ll do it in style. It’s like playing chess—you move smart and bold, and even with risks, the lifestyle feels incredible.

[Verse 2: Malice]
Malice shares a powerful and emotional journey. He talks about how, despite everything, he’s chosen to forgive and grow. He remembers hustling in tough times, like selling drügs out of old cars. He tried to help women who grew up without fathers, giving them a sense of real life, but had to leave them with their kids—highlighting how hard it is to balance everything. He saw signs in life that pushed him to change. His team shared success but also faced harsh consequences. Friends died or got locked up. Those prison visits hit hard—it’s like looking at himself in the glass. Scars and names brought legal trouble and emotional pain. He’s seen death up close, needing forensics to identify loved ones. His weapon and his choices caused and ended problems. Now he wrestles with whether chasing revenge is even worth it. In the end, he left that world behind, hoping to return better, maybe to fix what’s broken.

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
Pharrell keeps the same confident energy, showing off wealth and security. He’s not asking anyone for anything anymore. Instead, he’s spending freely, preparing for the worst just in case. It’s about making smart moves, living like kings in a game of strategy. Even though there’s risk, he still feels like the life he’s built is amazing.

[Outro: The-Dream]
This part dives into deeper truths. He’s saying there’s no escaping what’s real—no loopholes or tricks. When regular people suffer and become just news headlines, it feels like a kind of genocide. Lies might win for a while, but truth stands stronger in the long run. Even if people try to destroy the leader (the king), the power behind him—like the queen in chess—can still change the game. Fire, danger, wealth, and beauty all mix together, and it usually ends in violence. But despite the danger, the journey was worth it because he’s thought everything through.
