Song Review: All Things Go Song by Nicki Minaj
All Things Go is a song by Nicki Minaj, released in 2014 as part of her album “The Pinkprint.”
The track is a departure from Minaj’s usual upbeat and energetic style, and instead showcases a more introspective and reflective side of the artist.
The song begins with a somber piano intro, setting the tone for the deeply personal lyrics that follow. Minaj reflects on the ups and downs of her life, touching on themes such as love, loss, and family.
She references the death of her cousin, which had a profound impact on her, and also alludes to past relationships and struggles with fame.
The chorus of All Things Go is particularly poignant, as Minaj reflects on the inevitability of change and the passage of time. She sings, “And they say they never really miss you ’til you’re dead or you’re gone / So on that note, I’m leaving after this song.”
All Things Go is a powerful and emotional track that showcases a different side of Nicki Minaj’s artistry.
The stripped-down production and introspective lyrics make for a deeply personal listening experience, and the song is a standout track on “The Pinkprint” album. If you’re a fan of Minaj’s more reflective and introspective work, “All Things Go” is definitely worth a listen.
All Things Go Lyrics
Yo, I had to reinvent, I put the V in vent
I put the heat in vents, man I been competin’ since
I look beyond what people sayin’, and I see intent
Then I just sit back and decipher, what they really meant
Cherish these nights, cherish these people
Life is a movie, but there will never be a sequel
And I’m good with that, as long as I’m peaceful
As long as sevens years from now, I’m taking my daughter to preschool
Cherish these days, man do they go quick
Just yesterday, I swear it was ’06
Ten years ago, that’s when you proposed
I look down, yes I suppose
All things go, all things go
All things go, all things go
I feel one minute, yeah we got it then it’s gone
While we keep waiting for a moment to live for
So can’t nobody ever tell me that I’m wrong
‘Cause I’ma ride out with you still the night is young
We keep goin’, we go, we go, we go
We wake back up and do it all again
(And we know, we know) say fuck the world, we ridin’ until the end
When all is said and done, look what we’ve become
I just want you to know that I did it for you
I lost my little cousin to a senseless act of violence
His sister said, he wanted to stay with me, but I didn’t invite him
Why didn’t he ask, or am I just buggin’?
‘Cause since I got fame, they don’t act the same
Even though they know, that I love him
Family ties, broken before me, niggas tryna kill him, he ain’t even call me
And that’s the reflection of me, yes I get it, I get it, it was all me
I pop a pill and remember the look in his eyes, the last day he saw me
All things go, all things go
All things go, all things go
I feel one minute, yeah we got it then it’s gone
While we keep waiting for a moment to live for
So can’t nobody ever tell me that I’m wrong
‘Cause I’ma ride out with you still the night is young
We keep goin’, we go, we go, we go
We wake back up and do it all again
(And we know, we know) say fuck the world, we ridin’ until the end
When all is said and done, look what we’ve become
I just want you to know that I did it for you
Let me make this clear I’m not difficult, I’m just ’bout my business
I’m not into fake industry parties, and fake agendas
Rock with people for how they make me feel not what they give me
Even the ones that hurt me the most, I still show forgiveness
I love my mother more than life itself, and that’s a fact
I’d give it all, if somehow I could just rekindle that
She never understands, why I’m so overprotective
The more I work, the more I feel like, somehow they’re neglected
I want ‘Caiah to go to college, just to say, “We did it!”
My child with Aaron, would’ve have been sixteen, any minute
So in some ways I feel like ‘Caiah, is the both of them
It’s like he’s ‘Caiah’s little angel, looking over him
And I know Jelani will always love me, and I’ll always love him
And I’m just his little sister not Nicki Minaj when I’m around him
Jee we did it, let’s leave this imprint
Just finished writing, this is the Pinkprint
