Kidd Amaze's at the Las Vegas Rocks Festival
“Vegas are you feeling good tonight? I don’t hear you are you ready to have a good tonight? Coming to stage right now, one of the youngest new rappers, be on the lookout for his debut mixtape Listen and be Amazed. Kidd Amaze,”
The DJ hits his music and the first song that comes on is his “Where do I begin” beat. Kidd comes running out on the side with a black t-shirt that’s say “Be Calm I’m Kidd Amaze” and dark pants and a black Yankee baseball fitted. With a Mic in his hand he goes straight into the song with energy “Vegas, Put your hands up!” The DJ yelled as Kidd started rapping. When he went to the hook he pointed the mic towards the crowd to have them sing.
(Where Do I begin Live)
It’s hard to start off when I don’t know where to end
For now let’s just say I’m a smooth criminal with a pen
A young old school rapper fill with competition
And feels disrespected with a Honorable mention
Please you really think participation ribbons are gona fly
You should get laugh at you missing me in the sky
I don’t get down with your so close, and almost
I’m too young yet I’m bring fire for a roast
To toast these MC like they over camp fire
With me the game now a lot are going to retire
Say hello to bad guy, I would punch your momma out
Then kick your favorite pet to leave no doubt
And I’m a bad man, that never me cross
And if you’re in my way just go and take a loss
I’m so serious you don’t want none of this
You can be Rihanna I’m going to play Chris
(Hook X2)
So where do I begin?
I’m a bad motherfucker
So where do I begin?
I’m a bad motherfucker
So where do I begin?
I’m a bad motherfucker
What?
A bad Motherfucker
What?
A bad shut-your-mouth
So where do I begin back to where I left off
Never been the one that was too soft
People think cause we don’t speak then we’re cool
All I have to say is I don’t agree with the rule
Get it straight I’m not here to make buddies
Every rapper spiting I’m aiming for their skullies
I trying to be the best one cause I don’t settle
Got a lot of drive and I keep my foot on the petal
So for a lot of mc’s they think I coming cause I am
I would kill anyone in a battle even Uncle Sam
Let put the song up to the test
Anyone want to hop on…. then I’m going to put it rest
(Hook X2)
So where do I begin?
I’m a bad motherfucker
So where do I begin?
I’m a bad motherfucker
So where do I begin?
I’m a bad motherfucker
What?
A bad Motherfucker
What?
A bad shut-your-mouth
Now where do I begin, better than that where do I finish?
Going hard for this long and showing no sign to diminish
Somebody call a doctor preferably Dr. Dre
Making these girls tingle but not sight of grey
The boys better lay, or they getting cut down
I going for the kingdom and the king’s crown
I hear them talking but only in the background
They trying to catch anything but a fucking rebound
Man and you talk about being thirsty
Trying to start shit over some controversy
Lord have mercy please pray for them
Let it be a quick and painless grave for them
I see their eye switching like R.E.M.
Go and watch me cuff him trying to fix the hem
Cause they tracking dirt and mud but I’m going clean
Got gangsta now trying to fix their gangster lean
Hook X2)
Once the song was finish He looked into the crowd “Vegas! I know I’m young and can’t do half of the shit in here but today fuck all that. We’re here to have a good time! If you want to have a good time then make some noise,” He waited as the DJ went to the next song. “I said if you want to have a good time tonight then make some mother fucking noise!” hearing the screams from the crowd he went into his next song which was his first song advice (freestyle) “I wanted to know where I begin, so what don’t we get to my first song.”
(Advice Live)
(Verse -1)
You see the person standing here is someone that is on another level
That for the other rappers to get on they will have to switch the petal
To come out of that automatic frame and learn how to do the gear shift
With no safety net to stall cause I’m out here on a cliff, edge hanging
I give you everything of me so that why my guts stay laying
My mother and grandmother have seen me through but still praying
But it is too late, cause now I starting to take notice about what is great,
And why growing up I was around so much envy and hate. Wondering
What these people see in a boy who didn’t have a strong male figure
He shouldn’t be anywhere close to successful with all things consider
Nobody expected that I would have any say because of my voice
Sadly in that matter no one really had much of a choice
Now go ahead and look at me, my cracked face can still smile and be happy
I aiming to blow everyone beak off like their name was daffy
They expected for me to just behind holding them up like caddie
I dress myself down so you don’t know what I have in my house
I going to shock to world my bio should read as electric mouse
Because I’m an Icon that you are just now getting to see
I never wondered if I could ever be talented musically
I too much like my parents to be anything else but head strong
That any weapon form against me is just going to prolong,
The inevitable outcome that we knew was coming all along
With no subtitles I’m sure you can still read-a-along
And sing a song about how you heard something that is trying to touch you
Suitably and why the only time he’s looking at you for the scrutiny
It’s news to me that everyone considers me to be an old soul
And that I resonate with others stings like a sound hole
Although my heart isn’t black in my chest I still burn coal
Don't get it twisted I’m just blessed to say I’m gifted
I trying to take the bar from the greats and get this lifted
(Spoken on the track)
And what you need to understand is it takes time it’s a process. Nobody is going to blow up all of a sudden out of nowhere and have that lasting impact. If you want to make it here you got to do what you know, and I know is the street. I was born in a harsh environment, in the ghetto, and that’s what made me strong. I was born around people who had no hope, no dreams, and the only things they were thinking about was how I’m going to feed myself and my family. I believe everyone has that something that makes them who there are and for me that music…
(Verse-2)
You didn’t know that the boy has so much to grow
But with parents working double shift you would think that they would know
Cause now that boy and grown into man
Willing to make out of life the best that he can
A collective of choices is what stands before your eyes
I have seen days, that would lead others to their untimely demise
Family cries, but when the tears dry how will they remember the person?
We could all see the same thing and each have a different kind of version
So what’s ahead of me I don’t know but every day new
I have friends that think I just a meal ticket and who
Would never turn his back on others and to a point its true
I been through the ringer that circus lion are trained too
Animal in a cage is only going to get enrage by captor
Funny how people are more so like those adapter
In bad situations they lose their will for quick satisfaction
Always quick to talk but never come with a plan of action
But that me expressing my views I’m not here to ramble
I’m done with that, I just trying to be that good example
I speaking for young you don’t have to take my advice
Just remember you only live once everything has a price.
Just made it look easy, gamble more than just a roll of the dice,
(Spoken)
This is never going to change. You will always have hip-hop and rap music. Because you will always have someone wanting to tell others not to take the path I took. I did this so you wouldn’t have to struggle; I paved the way for an easier life and that’s how it’s always going to be. Cause if done right, life can be amazing. (Echoes out)
As Advice slowly fades a new song takes it places as Kidd goes back to working the mic, “Right now I’m about to get into a love song so I want you remember that one, that first love. It doesn’t have to be sexual it could be your first love in anything. Your first is something you will always keep with you and will always have feeling for. This is for that thing or someone.
(Love for you Live)
I was never good at being attach
Everyone gets to serious and try to latch
Thinking I’m not going to be around for their support
When really they’re thinking way to extort
Now my heart has gotten colder with every scar
To point where even my humanity seem very far
I been done wrong in past and its doom to repeat
With every soft voice to sweep me off my feet
I’m not proud that I was a player that got bested
Someone with far skin and yes, large breasted
But no one understood me not even my own peers
Neglected throughout so many years with empty tears
Fears that a boy should go through all alone
The boy grows up and takes all that he was shown
And through all of the hardship he persevered
I was now someone that other would revered
(Hook x2)
I got love for you
Yea I got love for you
There nothing that I won’t do
Cause I have love for you
(verse 2)
Soon as you came around you warm me up like it was spring
Different when I'm around you so I know it's not a fling
You’re so independent I like the way your thing
Others may come around but I not worry the way I make your body sing
Baby your cool as ice even when you don't try
No reason for make-up when there no blemishes to hide
And I know others will try to play cool with their emotions inside
But my are on my sleeve like I badge I wear with pride
My words slip out but I really want to know what you about
Are you a quiet woman or do you like to run your mouth
I don't care we could talk nonstop I just want some of your heart
I know guys done you dirty is past but this is another start
And if you want to work with me we can fix the broken part
I going to tell you how I feel, not what you hear
Even when I’m on the road you’re always going to be near
I value you point of view so let me make myself clear
(Hook x2)
I got love for you
Yea I got love for you
There nothing that I won’t do
Cause I have love for you
(verse 3)
Now we are doing our things couldn’t be more parallel
People always wonder why being together seemed to fail
So good that we understood each other on a different plane
But being around each other will both leave us drain
I’m not going to say it was all you, because I’m also to blame
I sometimes wonder do you call out my name
Remember how easy it was cause we were so much the same
Damn and we’re still close almost like it we use to
Start and finishing ideas like it was planned on cue
But no I know how that story ends and you will set it straight
Their no make-up because the break-up was so hard to take
You will keep your walls up as a way for us protect
And reject any feeling that might resurrect
Two of the same kind so much that my faith is blind
When is anything dealing with you I put anything on line
I got whatever you want I happy to cover your behind
(Hook)
I got love for you
I have so much love for you
Has much as the sky is blue
Is as much as I got love for you
I got love for you
I got love for you
And no matter what you go though
I’m will always have love for you
He lets the audience finish sing the song as it goes off and he gets something to drink. He is sweating a little bit but he doesn’t mind as he motions the DJ to play another record. “How about I give something new DJ, give them something that going to be on the mixtape coming this week.” The DJ puts on “I’ll Give You Everything,” as Kidd plays to the crowd, “Ya’ll want to hear some new shit right,” He starts bouncing around on his toes getting into the music as it builds up.
(I’ll Give You Everything Live)
(Verse 1)
What I’m called is not important so I shouldn’t have to name it
Though my words are so insightful that I think you should fame it
People look at me as talent don’t they know how hard I work
People think up crazy shit like they were brought in by a stork
Sorry, but I need to pop the bubble on this misconception
For what you see is an illusion based off of misdirection
Why do I try so hard, there will away be someone better
In this today and age if it not new it just whatever
But never will I be cast aside for preference of the new toy
When I’m around I show the difference between a man and a boy
Funny cause I was kicked out hanging with the cool and popular
Only time girls were up close was through my friend’s binocular
Nice could only get so far, with bad-boys girls feel to get pretty
Even when getting man handled just thinking about them and they giggly
Really, I started to talk about rap which they didn’t know about
Now I’m one that all these girls want to blow, throw panties and pass out
TMZ had nothing on me I was ready to get my chips and cash out
See me in a relationship are girls ready to get mashed out
Fuck is yall problem when I single you didn’t look twice
Now you finally get it when I can make your life nice
Kidd starts bouncing at the edge of the stage as the music bridge into the second verse
Yea,
Okay
let me say
(Verse 2)
Finally, one of us nerds was able to get in and infiltrate
Rapping was easy they will just bring me people to incinerate
And I destroy them all, feel like a god alive again
Never focus schoolwork always raping and going in
Always used the right brain told left that you were wrong
I was gifted and was somebody that you doubted all along
Building myself up from nothing thus proving that I exist
Everyday a new girl I was always getting the assist
People seem to think that I would want to be famous
And once those lights hit me for the first time outrageous
Put you on a pedestal man you are in clouds
You supposed to be one of us, a nerd, man how?
You got me confused I’m a king and an idol
You want to learn about me you should get a rap bible
Two things will happen in this state of mind
Hopefully you’ll remember yourself and rewind
If not then you will be trapped in your own confine
Bind, you so high and what happens when the sky-falls
Chicken Little won’t help with you splat over the floor and walls
But I’m chose to ball it didn’t just choose me
I’ll never take the blame; it was my fault, never the plea
Truthfully I’m what these rappers wish they could be
It’s not a superior complex when you prove it in your city
I will give you everything 100% times fifty
Kidd jumps to the back of the stage where the DJ is as he wipes the sweat from his brow. He knows that is will be his last song so he decided to end with the Party song and told the DJ to play the music to it. “I know y’all aren’t tired. Cause I don’t know about you but we came to party. If you came to party than let me here it,” he put his cups hand to his left ear and pointed it to the crowd. “Nah, nah, nah, I don’t think you heard me. I said if you came here to party, then let me hear it” he waved his arms up to get them to scream louder. “Well than that what we came to fucking do, DJ Drop that!”
(Here to party Live)
Niggas we up here to bang on yours speakers
With the bass so loud you would think you hearing creatures
We’re all here to party so you know I’m about to wild out
Anybody have a problem, they better guard their mouth
I be Smoking on some herbs that will have you feeling spiritual
You know it isn’t fun when damage is only minimal
Looking for some bad bitches to do all the good shit
We only here for the fun not looking to commit
My rhymes are so legit that others have to rage quit (Hell yea)
The showstopper that’s why they call me HBK
Trying to have all my competition blown away
Handcuff your girl cause I can swindle, Huckle fin
Need some music and drinks so the fun can begin
Ya’ll know who this is so I’m not about to mention

Soon as this song come on you better drop that
Cds coming soon you know you need to cop that…
(chorus)
Oh mercy me, got the weed and the liquor to work out for me

So drop that, beat, bass, brass, ass, just dance, (dance) Dance (dance) Dance
(Verse 2)
Niggas I’m crazy riding on some 8 balls
These girls wanted a wish so they blew on my dragon balls
Boy I’m nasty infected, call the CDC
Otherwise nine out of ten people are to getting me
Faded like a ghost never going to the afterlife
Let me tell you haters bark more then they bite
Young money getting rich frosty ain’t I great
Working this hard i put the time in late
While you’re favorite rapper is a minute or two early, man
Leave he is ass with a red top call him Shirley, man
See how he so emotional mood swings girly
Spread him with those guns and now he's out worldly
Leave your girl with me she form white mouth thirsty
Sprite soon she tell them other boys to take a hike
This is man game so why these boys trying play
Kidd is on the real that why they want me to stay and say
Oh mercy me, got the weed and the liquor to work out for me
And Oh what a night, girls and music that going to make it right
So drop that, beat, bass, brass, ass, just dance, (dance) Dance (dance) Dance
So drop that, beat, bass, brass, ass, just dance, (dance) Dance (dance) Dance
“My name is Kidd Amaze that was my cool slick DJ Disaster on the turntable, thank you for listening that my time, enjoy the rest of the festival,” He then bows and turns to his DJ “DJ Turn Up!” He then lets the DJ scratch and skip on the Drop that beat as Kidd dances for a little while before heading back stage.
