BROCKHAMPTON – All That Lyrics

All That Lyrics By BROCKHAMPTON

“All That” is a sorrowful tune, where Kevin realizes that although they’ve reached the dreams they’ve always wanted, it still came with a new set of rich problems.

Kevin touches on some of the drama the group went through over the years, from him releasing a solo album in 2018 while the group was still promoting their album iridescence, to arguments with band member Dom McLennon.

Kevin flips the positive, connotation of the original All That theme song into a very pessimistic viewpoint that “Everything that glitters is not gold” in this nostalgic, depressing track.

[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
Back when we was still outside (Yeah)
Church next door, we couldn’t afford a tie
I was only 19, I was down for the ride (Woo)
Everything I wanted on my passenger side (Yeah)
Embrace who we was, we was broke, we was live
We would smoke, we was high
We would smile just to grind
And fightin’ to survive, just to get ideas out
When niggas was hungry, we couldn’t afford the big house
Niggas was scrawny, somebody break the ribs out
Fightin’ over meals, the crib was not Aunt Viv’s house
Man, press photo with the blue couch
Now we hate each other just to hang out

[Chorus: Caitlyn Harris & Kevin Abstract]
Oh, oh, oh (I know it ain’t)
All that (I know it ain’t)
All that
Oh, oh, oh (I know it ain’t)
All that (I know it ain’t)
All that

[Verse 2: Kevin Abstract]
It’s all of us sittin’ there in the livin’ room
I’m like, “Fuck it, yo, this what we finna do
I can’t stand seein’ us not there
On the big screen with the homies here
We know once we get that shot
We gon’ push limits and never look back” (Yeah, uh)
Fast-forward, everything feels backwards
Everything went left at the BRIT awards
When I decided not to show up or show support
‘Cause I was tryna go solo before we went on tour (Come on)
Too much trauma for me to be at my highest (Come on)
I missed Ameer so me and Dom kept fightin’, mm
He almost pushed me off the edge (Edge)
But honestly, I shouldn’t’ve said what I said
I shoulda went to therapy instead
Started to heal, that’s what we all needed
The record deal wasn’t helpin’ either (Come on)
That merch deal ain’t help either (Come on)
It gave me more money for alcohol
I guess blowin’ up ain’t all that at all

[Chorus: Caitlyn Harris & Kevin Abstract]
Oh, oh, oh (I know it ain’t)
All that (I know it ain’t)
All that
Oh, oh, oh (I know it ain’t)
All that (I know it ain’t)
All that
