Grown Up is a new official single from rapper Kidd Amaze, and it is somewhat of a message to himself and other that he has been doing music now for three years. In fact three years ago to this day his first major album
Kidd at the Adult Table debut at number one. Since then he has done almost everything you can think of in terms of music and now it he staking his claim with bold remarks "
Every time I drop a song the world stops" or
"Go against me/ you already loss" Musically this beat is make on fruits that is pretty simple with the song starting off really mellow before bringing in drums and 808s. Kidd Lyrically is best he has been with all kinds of references and punch lines. In the beginning he even references himself as Jesus dying on the cross before coming back on the third day. If verse one is message to his first album the second verse has ties to his second album. Lyrics of his handbook getting out to the public that has made hip hop more mainstream, but has also pushed talent to make better music. In the Music video it tells quite the story of the life of Kidd Amaze and if this is any indication of what his third album is it would be a continuation of this connected story-line of a kid that was raise to be a music star after becoming a star gets so wrapped in it that he becomes a prisoner, before his latches out at his captives and frees himself but damage has been done to him that he can never be that kid again.
Lyrics(Intro)
Seem likes people want to best out,
Well I'm here, show me what you about
Soon as I drop song, the world stand still
Before everyone scream and shout
I'm the best you will ever come across
Till they find me nailed to a cross
come back on the third day
running like a boss
Okay, real(Verse 1)
I been doing so many things
you thought I brought red bull
Chi town, bulter with a handful
palming the game, spalding
have your favorite rapper
not me, out here balding
Homie I ball, no boy I brawl
Stand on top in free for all
and it's free for all, you saw the fall
dropping out from a cloud nimbus
God, to these mortals
Living on Olympus
my style is vicious
I been a fucking animal
locked away tied up, hannibal
you don't want to see loose
I bring the thunder,
quick in a yellow jumpsuit
the bane to other rappers, broken
wayne to a heartless city, chosen
Training to defeat him, hadoken
never have more fire, shoryuken
yoga flame, this isn't a stretch
nba street, I'm not joking
your nba elite,
(Hook)
Nigga I am a grown up
kid aint a kid no more
like man I have growned up
I ready for the war
man I am a grown up
Kid had to be an adult
Nigga I have growned up
This here is the result
(Verse 2)
Going back to back
yea back to the black
didn't know how to act
left head touching his back
head hunting,
put every living thing on the rack
everyone acts tough
until they feel whack
and nigga you wack
that stuff you putting
nah we aint feeling that
get on your backpack rap
you will never be star
hold up, niggas don't get this far
that conscious shit that make skynet
have your enemies waking in a cold sweat
and two heads, god father
lead to back shead with a shotgun, our father
send blessing when you see him
ending on the wrong side? would want to be them
this person eats em, leave them bloody mary
working mines and bringing gas, fuck the canary
cause he knows why caged birds sing
murder the cat, and put on a diamond ring
he's grown up now, but been heard all the stories
what has me worried he been telling the shorties
they awaken up, fuck what we going to do
you got to do something they all listened to you
(Hook)
Nigga I am a grown up
kid aint a kid no more
like man I have growned up
I ready for the war
man I am a grown up
Kid had to be an adult
Nigga I have growned up
This here is the result
(Outro)
Seem likes people want to best out,
Well I'm here, show me what you about
Soon as I drop song, the world stand still
Before everyone scream and shout
I'm the best you will ever come across
I got a list with names that are crossed
and if you want to go against me
then you already lossSounds similar to:
Music VideoHow the music video starts off is you see a room with girls covered by long veils that touch the floor and Kidd sitting on a throne relaxed as the music starts. as he speaks the into he gets up from this throne and walks towards the camera it pans out with every now and then cutting to the girls behind the veils and back to him. Once he finished the intro the camera turns from kidd as he walks out of frame to see this casket only to have Kidd come out of it wearing a white suit.

Till they find me nailed to a cross

running like a boss
Okay, real
As we slowly approach Kidd who is rapping the verse first verse, you see video footage of his as a child as he basketball and dressed up for Halloween as Bruce Lee even him playing old video games including Street fighter near the ends as it talks about the reference of him training. We come back to the present to see that he is standing over the casket that is now on fire, and he turns around to see his face for him to do the hook.
I been doing so many things

Chi town, bulter with a handful

wayne to a heartless city, chosen
Training to defeat him, hadoken
never have more fire, shoryuken
yoga flame, this isn't a stretch
nba street, I'm not joking
your nba elite,As He does the hooks he puts his hands together as if he is about to say a prayer and you see images of his first tour, the first time he was on stage the early radio appearances, the first album, the first meeting with the fans, being on a tour bus. It all in black and white but he is seen smiling having fun, enjoying himself and doing what he loves to do. When the hook is over we go back to the casket to reveal a hand and Another Kidd Amaze goes out of the burning basket he comes out and stands in all black.
Nigga I am a grown up
kid aint a kid no more
like man I have growned up
I ready for the war
man I am a grown up
Kid had to be an adult
Nigga I have growned up
This here is the resultThe Kidd in all black raps hard the second verse he walks around paces as if he is ready to attack someone. Clearly on edge he keeps talking before he points and things begin to catch on fire around him but he is in a zone that he doesn't even pay attention to the things that are going around him until the verse the is over.
Going back to back
yea back to the black
didn't know how to act
left head touching his back
head hunting,
put every living thing on the rack
everyone acts tough
until they feel whack
and nigga you wack
that stuff you putting
nah we aint feeling that
get on your backpack rap
you will never be star
hold up, niggas don't get this far
that conscious shit that make skynet
have your enemies waking in a cold sweat
and two heads, god father
lead to back shead with a shotgun, our father
send blessing when you see him
ending on the wrong side? would want to be them
this person eats em, leave them bloody mary
working mines and bringing gas, fuck the canary
cause he knows why caged birds sing
murder the cat, and put on a diamond ring
he's grown up now, but been heard all the stories
what has me worried he been telling the shorties
they awaken up, fuck what we going to do
you got to do something they all listened to youAs he does the hook things are burning all around him as the fire has made a circle around him the one in all white steps inside the circle. They look at each others not saying anything but the hook keeps going. The flames seem to die down before all that is lefts are embers and ash.
Nigga I am a grown up
kid aint a kid no more
like man I have growned up
I ready for the war
man I am a grown up
Kid had to be an adult
Nigga I have growned up
This here is the resultTwo of the Kidd stare at each other the one in all black glares and he makes little movements as if he getting ready to fight the other as the one in all white is looking peaceful but his cautious of himself to make sure he doesn't do anything but they both look at the camera slowly which the camera turns around to see the third Kidd who was the "King" now with glowing marking on his body who lefts his hand and the camera cuts off.
