[Verse 1] I went out to take a walk with my baby daughter Grabbed her coat from Paris; that one I bought her And we brought some bread to feed the swans But they were already gone, they were already gone
[Bridge] And I got work to do while you All play with your head in your hands I'll just lay with my head in my hands Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3] I'm not afraid to die Don't care if I get older Cry, cry, no, I don't cry I just take it over, I just take it over
[Outro] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you love those rock n' rollers Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you love those rock n' rollers

“Hip Hop Kids” talks about the music industry and how is the scene today compared to the past. The hip-hop is dominating the mainstream, but those old-school fans, as Gourley says, “don’t give a shit.”
Also, in the album’s context, “Hip Hop Kids” shows the narrator completely embracing a life without religion and without the society’s judgments—he assumes that he’s an “evil friend.”
I’m not afraid to die
Don’t care if I get older
