All Night Long

[00:12.82] Ay yo, this that shit you bob your head to

[00:15.75] This that brand new instrumental

[00:18.95] I heard he put his city on

[00:21.87] That boy Kells so influential

[00:25.33] Success got everybody hating

[00:28.25] Success to me is inspiration

[00:31.16] 'Cause how we supposed to know that what we dream is possible

[00:34.44] If don't nobody that looks like us makes it?

[00:37.63] You only got one life, don't waste it

[00:40.55] I mean we only got one night, get wasted

[00:43.74] I mean I know you're trying to think it out

[00:45.64] But go with what you feel 'cause real problems can't be calculated

[00:48.85] It's hard to find the answer when they have no explanation

[00:51.76] It's hard to find where you're headed when there's no destination

[00:55.21] It's hard to know when we're going when there's no expiration

[00:58.14] So until that day, just keep that Kells inside your playlist and

[01:01.32] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[01:06.91] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[01:13.29] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[01:19.40] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[01:26.84] Drinking whiskey like a desperado

[01:29.76] My bitches drinking Reposado

[01:32.96] Ashing in an empty bottle

[01:35.07] Listening to the songs that put our asses in this empty condo

[01:38.52] Remember ridin' 'round in Ashleigh's car though?

[01:41.72] When the radio first played our song though?

[01:44.91] Or at her house when MTV first showed my face

[01:47.82] That clip was crazy, I swear it felt like we won the lotto

[01:50.48] But a million bucks can't buy priceless moments

[01:52.66] An a million people may not know us

[01:54.25] But every one of us wants this gift we own

[01:56.64] And that is how is how to keep it real

[01:59.04] How to never judge somebody by their steering wheel

[02:02.22] 'Cause you know that mother fucker in that Ford Taurus

[02:05.14] Could be the next mother fucker in that new Porsche

[02:08.34] But like I said it's hard to know where you're headed

[02:10.72] When there's no destination

[02:12.06] So until that day, just keep that Kells inside your playlist and

[02:14.97] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[02:20.82] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[02:26.93] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[02:32.78] Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long

[02:54.30] This shit right here, man, this shit feels right!

[02:58.82] Aye Doug, aye Dray, aye Earl, you know it's all year right? Hah!

[03:05.50] I'm sitting here in the middle of New York City

[03:08.43] The night before I gotta turn my second album in

[03:11.63] Higher than a motherfucka, drunker than a motherfucka

[03:15.09] With my boys, and I'm thinking, damn, man 5 years ago

[03:20.14] We were dead broke chilling in Cleveland everyday

[03:23.33] And the next thing you know, people are calling us about record deals

[03:29.44] And you know, the crazy part is

[03:33.97] Ashleigh rented this white Nissan Altima for me and Slim so we could drive out to New York

[03:38.53] I think she had to some work some shit or something like that so she couldn't go

[03:41.73] So we were gonna go out there and see what these labels were talking about

[03:46.24] And I'm driving us there, but my license's suspended

[03:49.69] So I tell Slim, I'm like "Yo, I gotta pull up before we get to New York and switch

[03:54.49] So you can drive in case we get pulled over"

[03:56.13] 'Cause we got pulled over the last time we went there

[03:58.61] But you know, he had a license so it made sense for him to drive

[04:02.32] So cut to like 7 and a half hours later

[04:04.49] I pull over in this emergency lane

[04:07.14] And right as I'm opening the door to switch with Slim, boom!

[04:10.86] This fucking car going full speed on the highway swerves off the road and smashed into us

[04:18.08] Yo, I swear to God I woke up half my body's laying outside the car in a ditch

[04:21.87] Like 15-20 feet away from where we just were

[04:24.80] The car was totaled, the windows were smashed

[04:27.71] It was cold as fuck, it was raining outside

[04:30.36] But we were, we were actually okay

[04:33.56] I mean, my boy had to go the hospital you know the ambulance came and shit

[04:37.01] He ended up being alright

[04:38.87] But our meeting's with the record label started at 2 and we didn't have no car

[04:44.18] And now we were stuck in a fucking hospital in New Jersey

[04:47.11] So this dude that, I ended up partnering with later on, his name's James McMillan

[04:52.94] He comes and gets us to these meetings and shit, somehow, someway

[04:56.19] I don't know if it was just because we just got into a crazy car crash

[05:01.23] And could've died a couple of hours ago

[05:02.83] But I'm in there and like you know I'm not feeling this shit man

[05:04.74] I'm not feeling this record label shit

[05:06.87] And a, we drove back to Cleveland

[05:11.92] Now I'm back in Ashleigh's mom's basement, I'm thinking about life, you know

[05:16.43] I'm on a shit ton of vicodin 'cause the doctors at the hospital

[05:19.35] You know gave us something 'cause we got into that car accident

[05:23.10] And Ashleigh runs downstairs and she's like

[05:25.21] "Yo, yo, Kells, Kells, you're not gonna believe who wants to talk to you right now

[05:30.79] "I'm like, "who?" She's like "He's gonna call you in 30 seconds"

[05:36.37] Now I guess, when I was in New York, I had made some kinda noise 'cause this dude named Byron

[05:44.08] Who ended up becoming my manager later on, took this video I had called "Chip off the Block"

[05:50.99] Over to Bad Boy and showed Harve Pierre

[05:53.92] And Harve Pierre went and showed that vid to a guy named Puff

[05:58.17] So I answer my phone, depressed, down, fucked up on vicodin and I hear

[06:06.54] "Please hold, I have Mister Sean Combs for you"

[06:12.10] I said, god damn, life's about to change, man, I felt it

[06:22.47] And sometimes that's all it takes, it's just that feeling you know what I mean

[06:27.81] I knew I was gonna be here, and now I'm here

[06:32.07] Feel that, uh

[06:34.98] Lace up, Kells

[06:38.45] Lace up, Kells

[06:41.10] Farewell, yeah

[06:47.22] This that shit you bob your head to

[06:50.15] This that brand new instrumental

[06:53.08] I heard he put his city on

[06:56.53] That boy, Kells
