This song “All I ever wanted”
written by Montana 300 very vividly describes the hardships which he has endured
in his life. Montana of 300 grew up in the troubled city of Chicago. His parents
and family were very impoverished and as he states in the song “taking turns
with plates and forks because there wasn’t enough dishes, taught to share with
all my siblings if I got it they can get it” and this humble Montana at an
early age. You don’t know the true value of something until you’ve lost it or don’t
have it and Montana wasn’t blessed like many of us are. So he had learned to be
grateful for what little he had. His mother was a drug addict and after
multiple attempts of trying to rid his mother of her drug abuse, he granted
towards the street life. He convinced himself that he would not fall victim
like many of his peers.
He soon realized he had a talent in
poetry. His father used to play many lyrical rappers which would further motivate
Montana to rap and would also keep him off the streets. But the street life
still had a grasp on him, in which he refers to in his lines,” Never thought I had
to hustle, never thought I tote this glocks; never thought I fight them cases,
sleeping counties on a cot.” But the most evident aspect not only of this song
but his music as a whole is god. Montana was always a spiritual man he shows
that “but the lord ain’t make me blind, I know how to read them signs.” The is
the last line of the song and its powerful because he’s referring to seeing not
by visually but by differentiating between people and knowing the difference
between good people and fake people.
