“Against All Adz” is a self-reflection of how Wordsplayed got where he is today. He touches on some of his insecurities, including not knowing whether or not if he’ll make it as a rapper. Here’s what he said in a recent interview with Rapzilla:

[Verse 1: Wordsplayed]
Downtown, take a dance with Diablo
Hell's Kitchen for the last supper
Lord knows that's a hot summer
I seen it all went loco, I seen it all
Uh, fleek
The game went 2Chainz, squad went Django
Now I'm like Pacman, that's where the ghost go
Cube in the '64, Lord knows I been low
Uh, I been low boy
My momma prayin' for the weak, oh joy
They had the whole house packed like a Farrakhan rally
Shows up in NY, woke up in Cali
[Hook: GAWVI]
I never thought we'd find our way out here
Everything we dreamed of became real
Say a prayer cause I could die tonight
Either way it all will be alright
[Post-Hook: Wordsplayed]
Call the squad, where they at?
This could be the only chance that I get
Say a prayer, don't forget
I could blow the only chance that I get
Man, I got a letter from the gods
Yeah, it said I couldn't beat the odds
I got a letter from the Son
Man, told me walk with the stars
[Verse 2: Wordsplayed]
Last year I ain't know if I rapped still
This year, got to see how the charts feel
Oh Lord, anything's possible
But now these all-nighters aren't optional
I'm feelin' like Hakeem in his first year
Better keep the dream shake for my nightmare
Show 'em what the work is, better get some merch kid
And I think the crowd knew my verses (yup!)
Man, I was hype for my first show
I was trying not to show it
Taylor told me I could blow up
Girl, I'm just trying not to blow it
And now I only want the squad with me
They could come through, I'ma buy the Martinelli
I hope the Wild Wild West gon' ride with me
I'm talkin' thug life tats on the black belly
I'm talkin' all-white airs, that's my city
And if I ever fall back please come get me
So Josh, Rich, Rey, Alex, Dave
Call me to repent if I ever go astray
If the money ever get in the way don't be surprised
You put your hope in the weakest of guys
Yeah, I ain't worried 'bout the ends
I'm just lookin' for the odds
Where they at boy?
[Hook: GAWVI]
I never thought we'd find our way out here
Everything we dreamed of became real
Say a prayer cause I could die tonight
Either way it all will be alright
[Post-Hook: Wordsplayed]
Call the squad, where they at?
This could be the only chance that I get
Say a prayer, don't forget
I could blow the only chance that I get
Man, I got a letter from the gods
Yeah, it said I couldn't beat the odds
I got a letter from the Son
Man, told me walk with the stars
