It starts in a room with musical equipment by the walls, and a small group of people there sitting down excited for what is about to happen. It shows clips of How kidd started in music from childhood videos to UFL cuts to his first time on the radio, to he first time in New York, his first cd being released all the while he was talking about how much music means to him and what his new works means to him. What you going to release starts playing and Kidd come to the microphone and starts rapping it.
Track 1
What you going to release
What you going to release
(Cause we need that)
What you going to release
What you going to release
What you going to release
(Cause we need that)
What you going to release
(Verse 1)
I remember being young and doing lines, on the table
While seeing cool and fast videos on that cable
that life what a fable seem so make believe
They have magic but it was the confident on their sleeve
but the glare came from the diamonds, looking like Ice
Had money and women, man that must be nice
that day I knew what I wanted in life
and would work hard and pay any price
I'm not going to live of that beans and rice
I'm going to make it even if I have to pull a heist
Like, freeze. Hands up, don't shoot
famous for killing favorites John Wilkes Booth
Go and ask Paul Pierce, who is really the Truth
I'm a shark and I call all shots
billiards, and in rhythm I get hot
(Hook)
That dope can you do it again
You sound good can you do it again
I like it can you do it again
you popping
can you do it again
you got nice lyrics
and I like your beat
but can you get people to get off their feet
if so then that is quite a feat
if not then your back on the street
(Verse 2)
I can't cool down, but I don't overheat
I just put words in patterns
over nice slick beat
to have you, the listener tapping your feet
maybe have you hmm this down your street
Cause I can and I will
I wont stop until my dream is fulfilled
I want a lot, but I have this gift
one where haters get their face stiff
But I hear that puts hairs on a man chest
too bad it look weird with man breast
Someone forgot to be train
and someone forgets they have a brain
It will be foolish to stand in my way, Brick
Cause I don't speak softly and carry a big stick
Plus I bring it, very hard and very thick
Just lay it on top and they're scare to move
I'm come with blue chip and something to prove
People, don't get in my way when I'm in my groove
Tell me all I need to is just write out hits
Oh my god, she screams, I'm thinking
this must be it
(Hook)
That dope can you do it again
You sound good can you do it again
I like it can you do it again
you popping
can you do it again
you got nice lyrics
and I like your beat
but can you get people to get off their feet
if so then that is quite a feat
if not then your back on the street
(Verse 3)
I get on stage with eyeballs glues
knowing one fuck up, and I'm screwed
I never done this thing public
what am I in an exhibition
I tend just to focus on the competition
but I would lie if I was confident in my condition
but you will never see it, I cleaned up
and I ate light
with fire in my stomach
I was looking for a fight
a lot of things was coming up, and going down tonight
but like dynamite they struck the fuse
and looking at them I caught my muse
the ability to stream over you, lighting quick
that made me the first human hybrid, now aint that slick
eco friendly but left people with coal
my antics, classics rhyming troll
before the high tech, I was ahead time
body men from hoods and ghetto
bags fill with pride and looks like I pull a crime
and just got acquitted
Got his head down and sprit lifted
(Hook)
That dope can you do it again
You sound good can you do it again
I like it can you do it again
you popping
can you do it again
you got nice lyrics
and I like your beat
but can you get people to get off their feet
if so then that is quite a feat
if not then your back on the street
What you going to release
What you going to release
(Cause we need that)
What you going to release
What you going to release
What you going to release
(Cause we need that)
What you going to release
Track 2
(Hook)
I keep on moving,
I got my dreams to carry me
I been through struggles
I hate the feel of misery
I got my bags packed
they get heavier every day
I call on your name
asking you to carry them for me
(Verse 1)
This is my story
and I want everyone to listen, oh I
This is my story
and I want everyone to listen
see pay attention because
God knows my issues
I have some problems
He puts people in my way
to help me solve them
Cause if their was nothing for me to solve
Then there could be no way I could evolve
I would have twice as much the ego
but not know what to do myself
Would be behind everywhere we go
and keep asking for your help
Never to realize about the power that I hold
Or even have the know how to get my story told
always there to fail I feel I would lose my way
I wouldn't have made it to the person I am today
Without looking over taking time pray
and wouldn't have the fortitude in me to stay
and that cause you believed in me
when I didn't believe in my self
and I just want to tell you
Thank you, Cause
(Hook)
I keep on moving,
I got my dreams to carry me
I been through struggles
I hate the feel of misery
I got my bags packed
they get heavier every day
I call on your name
asking you to carry them for me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
That's cause you bring the best out of me
Bring the best out me
me, me, me, me, me, me
That cause you bring the best out of a guy like me
Oh I,
(Verse 2)
So what should I rhyme about,
My new car, or my big house
cause I have a new beach view
and I don't have the problems I use to
I'm not worry about money, I got it burn
but I also have people do a 180 turn
old friends now saying that I change
and old enemies aren't as strange
new friends are just interchange
best friends seem to come estrange
when you not able to always come with green
over that fence isn't as good as it seems
because you on you will responsible
they're you boys, you should be accountable
for the company that you keep
you want people that you know and you got deep
cause you never know who to trust when thing get steep
They had your back when it wasn't cheap
Decisions decisions,
can you trust your intuition
your whole life is now up for public opinion
even if they do something bad it still reflective
All of your actions will be subjective
They are in it solely by connect
so who will you keep and who will you reject
Man,
(Hook)
I keep on moving,
I got my dreams to carry me
I been through struggles
I hate the feel of misery
I got my bags packed
they get heavier every day
I call on your name
asking you to carry them for me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
That's cause you bring the best out of me
Bring the best out me
me, me, me, me, me, me
That cause you bring the best out of a guy like me
Oh I,
(Track 3)
When this song comes on I'm getting money
And you know that my people get it too
When this song comes on I'm getting money
So tell me what it is you trying to do
Money coming in
It's not hard to go and get it
And this shit is coming fast
Just be careful not to whip it
Flipping product out getting paper
I can show you how to get green
See a lot of jealousy and envy,
but that's really just routine
they hating but know it's only getting worst
Looking but they need to do is check their thirst
first off, I don't care how you feel
I know my time is now
they going to have to kneel down
if they want they want be well endow
I can bless them, but I never stress them
I know this is game
but the money flowing, pockets growing
Watch how I'm going to set them
Have them seeing thing things without REM
When this song comes on I'm getting money
And you know that my people get it too
When this song comes on I'm getting money
So tell me what it is you trying to do
They think they got something but it minor
they just want the be on marquee
I'm the one with the headliner
new face of the industry
have people remember me
get it and I flip it
Mad Science with the chemistry
on a fast break like I'm was magic
they never see it coming
looking foolish, man it's tragic
but it's just a habit, I work hard to get this
I didn't pout, get sour or had to throw fits
all my time and energy went to getting better
Now I'm Jerry fooling with cats and getting cheddar
It isn't hard but you have to work, it never easy
a lot of people settle but it pays to be greedy
in need for nothing, if I want it, then I can grab
and the stare don't mean nothing go and watch me dab
those little shots don't mean nothing, man I ballin
hands are always open I can here that money callin
with the money that I rain down
you going to need a clean up crew
When this song comes on I'm getting money
And you know that my people get it too
When this song comes on I'm getting money
So tell me what it is you trying to do
(Track 4)
Camera's eye
Camera's eye
Camera's eye
Camera's eye
Just born into this world,
takes your breath away
Whenever you want to
you can find somewhere else to stay
with all the success comes with fame
have everyone knowing your name
it is a crazy feeling knowing the impact
of seeing how many people you attract
willing to do so much just to get a glance
learned all the lyrics, work on every dance
the power that comes in being a celebrity
People judge you on other thing then your integrity
how you present yourself, now a role model
understand kids will look at your actions and follow
being rich and famous comes with a lot of perks
Some of it just come with just doing work
Looking out on that stage, nothing but people
I tell you that there very few things that could equal
(Hook)
You know that is what people dream of
knowing that stars can only be seen above
So they want to see
Camera's eye
you want to be
Camera's eye
I didn't know that people could be so hateful
they don't even know me why so disgraceful
cameras on me as soon as I step out my door
treat me like I'm something out of folklore
flashing bulbs and mics everywhere I turn
I'm open up to either admiration or bitter scorn
The normal life once had is gone without a doubt
but people from past just calling me a sellout
Can't do the things that I use to
So now that I'm watch most of the time
Sometimes you have to grin and bare it,
to get through
but you will still get bad headlines
paparazzi sometimes doesn't care
some try to catch you in your underwear
try not to let it get under your skin
but you sometimes wonder when the madness will end
All of this fame, is nothing you should fear
but that doesn't mean the road is clear
cause you looking at
Camera's eye
your seeing through
Camera's eye
If you want out then I think it's too late
Now that you’re here there is no escape
your now trapped in
Camera's eye
your now suck in
Camera's eye
(Track 5)
OoooOoooh
All I did is close one eye
To revive my stolen pride
Signed my name, on that dotted line
OoooOoooh
Dropped some blood now it's sold
Now receiving all this gold
I'm insured until they day I go
I can tell that you're hungry
See that motivation, but this trek can be lonely
People here breed contempt, they beat you down
To the point where your ego is on the ground, limp
You need some help? well I can do it
Trust me, I seen people through a bit
All that potential just wasted is sick
And you will need more than your skin being thick
Just do as I say and we will get by
You won't be seen as that other girl, you will be made
Success comes with sacrifice, a debt to be paid
You think you can pay the price?
There are so many who want the same, but it is brutal to get to the fame
I help others like you
Believe when I say, that I can make dreams true
Yea
OoooOoooh
All I did is close one eye
To revive my stolen pride
Signed my name, on that dotted linne
OoooOoooh
Dropped some blood now it's sold
Now receiving all this gold
I'm insured until they day I go
You've given me everything
That I searched for all this time
Paved the road to all my hopes
You sure know how to keep a girl up high
Now I see everything with my own eyes
Living all the dreams that you spoke of
When we met on that one and only night
You has a buzz and it good
keep your name out there and we'll get out of the woods
You want to be what people think
They should be seeing you all the time
Even when they blink your face should appear
Got to have something to catch their ear
And hook them to they hand over money
Use the media, I know that it's funny
But realize that these people are clients
And you need be able pull together an alliance
Your fan base will spread your gospel
And can gather those who were once hostile
See this isn't that tough as long as we are together
You handle the talent and I take off the pressure
All about connections and who you know
You need direction to help you grow
This is nothing I know that want more
just wait to you find out what I have store
OoooOoooh
All I did is close one eye
To revive my stolen pride
Signed my name, on that dotted line
OoooOoooh
Dropped some blood now it's sold
Now receiving all this gold
I'm insured until they day I go
You've given me everything
That I searched for all this time
Paved the road to all my hopes
You sure know how to keep a girl up high
Now I see everything with my own eyes
Living all the dreams that you spoke of
When we met on that one and only night
Pam Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Living all the dreams that you spoke of
When we met on that one and only night
This is what you wanted right?
This the dream that keeps you up at night
Cause you see those flashing lights
You almost there, don't let it slip
It's right there at your fingertips
You can have all that is mine
You just sign on the dotted line
OoooOoooh
All I did is close one eye
To revive my stolen pride
Signed my name, on that dotted line
OoooOoooh
Dropped some blood now it's sold
Now receiving all this gold
I'm insured until they day I go
You've given me everything
That I searched for all this time
Paved the road to all my hopes
You sure know how to keep a girl up high
Now I see everything with my own eyes
Living all the dreams that you spoke of
When we met on that one and only night
(Track 6)
(Lyrics)
(Verse 1)
man, I been through so much
Feeling like I'm out of touch
I been living life in a blur
Trying to rush through the world
See, I made it on through
Look at things with a different hue
Now, I feel a calling to have others
See what I see too
What we doing In life
Why do we go through the strife
All of the hate we have to fight
The depression dark as night
But we all going be alright
At least that what I hear them say
Cause it is on us to go make a better way
I feel like I been in fog
Living life on the high hog
But I didn't know that I would
Be seen as another cog
I do what I can but
that might not be what I should
And I realised it hard to relate
When your so far from the hood
But don't let that be misunderstood
I think this cause of me
Because I was trying to be
The one that could take my family out poverty
(Hook)
What we doing
What we doing
Look at what we doing
What we doing
Cause I want to rap
I want to rap
I don't want to see my people struggle
So I want to rap
I want to rap
To tell them there is a better hustle
I want to rap
I want to rap
for the people coming after me
I want to rap
I want to rap
I want you to be a better me
So I want to
(Verse 2)
You see there will be a time
When go back through the lines
When I'm dead and remembered
But my music still simmer
A child will going through things
Maybe there life is hanging on by a string
They might feel as if they lost there way
And the people that's there
Don't know the words to say
So while they listen to music
And happen to land on me
I want them to know
That darkness won't always be
You going make it you are special
You have gift that no one knows
And even through it hard
You should go and let it show
And know that your past
Doesn't define what is you
There no point in hiding you have to be strong
And in order to make it, don't be afraid to be wrong
There going to be times when your tired
There will be easier things with nothing required
But know that dreams don't come without work
It takes time, energy, and some of it will hurt
But keep pushing through
You have eyes one you
They will see it and be inspired too
Lead by example even if you stumble
Even if you fall don't ever crumble
I'm asking a lot but I know you are capable
I see it in you, that you are unreplacable
Keep your head up and remember that obstacles
Are needed to the unimaginable possible
(Hook)
What we doing
What we doing
See what we doing
What we doing
Cause I want to rap
I want to rap
I know that there is a better way
So I want to rap
I want to rap
We can't keep looking back at yesterday
I want to rap
I want to rap
for the people coming after me
I want to rap
I want to rap
I want you to be a better me
So I want you to
when the song is over Kidd smiles and looks at the small group of people and the camera following him around. "This is my secret concert, broadcasting on the internet where ever your watching it thank you guys for coming in or clicking in. If you didn't know my new album came out The Rapper Handbook, and it is about life." The small group laughed, "I'm serious the tittle was just the rapper because a lot of people come up to me and ask "How can I do what you do, what does it takes? What is it like?" So this whole project was inspired by my fans. If it was me I would have came with something different but I like how this turned out and what it represent. I tell everyone that will listen I wouldn't be doing any of this if it wasn't for the people. The family and the fans who are like family I really couldn't thank them enough." At this time Best of Me starts playing and he explains how he wants to do his best because of all the support and love from these people that mean so much to him. When that goes off someone in the crowd ask him who is that voice in the beginning of the album. After a little pause Kidd answer "She, she represents music. Music is a hard thing to understand. It all makes us feel a certain way and it can effect our mood and our minds that if you want to get to a lot of people music is the way to go and as an artist when your job is to make and create music, their is a lot of influence that goes into making this thing we love. You know sometime you get trapped into something. As for that thing in the beginning the one thing that music takes a lot of if your doing it is time. Time and music go hand in hand for artists and hopefully all that time and work pays off." He then put the next track on "Getting Money". Kidd sits down when the song is over and looks at the new copy of his cd. "If you think about that song getting money, you think that the artist gets all this money when the record gets played. But really what we get in recognition of a song. Really we get the most money pay you guys doing this what your doing coming to shows. And the more people that come and more sponsor you have and the bigger the event the more money we get. Just because you see us on TV doesn't mean we don't have a job like everyone else. There always a C.E.O. or a boss that say what you can and can't do and signs the checks. You have people you work with on a daily basis like sound engineers and DJ, producers and managers. Agents and promoters all with egos and all working to get songs on this little cd for the public to buy. " Camera's eye starts playing an intro as Kidd stands back up and goes into the song saying "Artist get seen and heard on radio and TV but was pays is going out and putting on shows. When Kidd was finished he started going through the songs in his head "Already we hit a few subjects that are important. Work and They don't know me, those were just songs I like and wanted, the next song was a song that just came to me on a silver platter. I wanted to do the concept of someone getting signed and what it means to get signed. On one hand getting signed mean more people and more money and being a star. On the other hand the negative feedback with not being in control, listening to others, not being able to do certain things cause of contracts. So when Chaelin from C.M.B.D. came to me and told me she wanted to do a song with me and told me her idea, signed was born. Working with new artist is always exciting but I wanted to do this album as just me. It's just happen that we were one the same page and it didn't take long to do at all, Airemese may need to watch it Chaelin and I did great work on this single I might have to call her again put her number in my phone. "Signed was one of those big surprises for me personally, I never had someone just call me up and say 'Hey I got this great idea,' and they tell this idea so close to your own. One of the difficult things about being famous is the whole "I'm a star I got here off hard work. You can make it cause I made it and no one gave me breaks." That mentality is something a lot of artist have, cause for some of us this was break it or break it for us. There wasn't a plan where if this didn't work we would go into other careers. Music was all I wanted to do. Nothing else and I would be damn if I wasn't going to be making even if I was barely getting by. But it shouldn't be that hard, The Jackie Robinson's and Oscar Robinson's of the world didn't do what they did just so they can look back at others and say "tough up and power through," You got to guide these people so it can be easier to get this far. What we doing was the whole idea of the album in a nutshell, if you didn't take anything else away from it is that I doing this for you, the future singers and rappers of the world. Don't make the mistakes I made, try to get better when what I done. I hope you all enjoy it. |
