It’s almost the end of the year and while others are getting into the holiday spirit Kidd is getting into the, fighting spirit? Kidd Amaze has had his hands all over the place this year being a guest writer for songs, tours, award shows, CDs as well as mixtapes so when he got the idea to put out a new song it was all hands on deck. This fast-pace song with its quick rhythmic scheme is the first release song off of the new label with him and co-owner Carmen Grant, who is also getting ready to release a song. Can't Stop Now, is focus on why he did some of the things he did on creating his own label. He has been quiet and very respectful of his former label Permanent Reminder but he decided that he should set the record straight and tell why he is on the path he is own and why he doesn't want to look back.

Off of a mixtape I created a label/
From standing in the back to now running the table/
I own my own masters and people questions me still/
Doubts of my work ethic, commitment and will/
So what should have I done, maybe dream smaller/
Go to record labels with a chain and a collar/


Here he talks about how from his original mixtape to now creating his label with Carmen, they wonder if Kidd has it in him to run a label effectively as he still haven't been out long. He asked if he should have dreamed smaller suggesting that he has always had dreams of being a record label executive. Also somewhat racial undertones "I own my own masters," "Go to Record Labels with Chain and a collar." While it is the music business that writing and publishing helps get you royalties and if you own that gives you more money for sampling rights from it also from a racial standpoint an african american owning rights in music is somewhat hard to come by and even more rare, that he is head of a music company. He talks about how all of this was plan and it should have been easy to see if you listened to his music, It is yet to know if this will be on his new album as we got no words about when his next project comes out. but he did preform this song live in Manchester, England.

~Background talk~ Spoken Lyrics



See, I on that whole other shit, man
Like I’m a nice killer, I the one nobody expected
People can talk all they want but I was made this way
Go ahead and be lead around if you want to,
I knew that this wasn’t the path I should take but
I took that first step so tell them why I can’t go back

*Hook*

(There’s no way. No way. There’s No way
I’ll stop now)


~Get ready, You Ready, GO!~

*Verse 1*
Smallest kid and came take over the room
Hitting grown men so hard that you hear a boom
MC knows of the trouble that loom,
They tried to stifle but instead I bloom
I came in with nothing but the clothes and car
Not knowing that I could really make it this far
While they stay the course and trying for par
I broke open the seal of the whoop ass jar
Stomping mudholes and crossing out names
Taking the biggest thug and leaving him tame
Or worst come to worst in a small puddle of shame
They know it’s a game but I’m not to be played
With lyrical prowess you going to get sprayed
Cause this is my mission on a crusade
I put my heart and my soul into this shit
So you can imagine the time I have fits
Where nobody care if I make a hit
Pressure from sides that I should just quit
I can’t sell what I already gave
Working so hard could put you into your grave
This was all that I knew there wasn’t a plan
My dream was in reach just needed to close my hand
Ball to a fist and coming out with a homerun swing
And prove to everyone that this is more than my thing
So

*Hook*

(There’s no way. No way. There’s No way
I’ll stop now)

~Yea, tell again~

(There’s no way. No way. There’s No way
I’ll stop now)

*Verse 2*
They thought I was crazy to try and make it myself
The gap was too big to cover without using their help
But there is a method to the so call “madness”
To pull strength out of all of my sadness
The time I would miss sleep just to write
The notepad I carried that I would define my fight
Shinning a light on what you all took granted
Leaving the people with a look at was slanted
And implanted the thought that my way could happen
I tell you all stories in the my form of rapping
My struggles, My heartbreak, my failure and success
My stumbles and falls, my thinking process
It’s all right there but do have it to listen
Cause that is what it take to see the vision
Off of a mixtape I created a label
From standing in the back to now running the table
I own my own masters and people questions me still
Doubts of my work ethic, commitment and will
So what should have I done, maybe dream smaller
Go to record labels with a chain and a collar
Cause clearly my way isn’t going to pan out
Or you should invest in a scout
I mean with music to burn I gave a mixtape out for free
Name another rapper to do it like me
Cause

*Hook*
There’s no way. No way. There’s No way
I’ll stop now,

~No looking back now, Go ahead and play my shit!~

Sounds like T.I. King
