Cover art for All The Hype lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy

Nobody got the meaning exactly right. The first part and the last part of the song explane the everything.

"In the beginning was the hype, the loud fanfare as I grabbed the mic. Suckah M.C.'s stepped with no clout [clout - hard hit of fight], don't quit your day job or your paper route. Fantastic and so spastic, drop dope rhymes like sonic booms, that's the kind of hype that could clear this room.".

The first part is talking about how in the begining he put on this big show and everything, like everything he did was fake and had no truth behind it.

"It's so wrong, so far from true, in secret, I'm just like you."

And at the end he confesses that all of it was fake, how none of that was really him.

I don't know the story behind this or why it was written, but I'm sure thats what it means.
