Hip Hop Kids Lyrics

[Intro]
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, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[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

[Chorus]
Yeah-yeah, the punks are done, fuck those rock n' rollers
All you hip-hop kids think we give a shit, well
We don't, we don't, we don't
We don't, we don't, we don't


[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 2]
I'm the mother's son, that fuckin' holy roller
And I just stand still
Watch the world grow colder
And I can't change, I can't change

[Chorus]
Yeah-yeah, the punks are done, fuck those rock n' rollers
All you hip-hop kids think we give a shit, well
We don't, we don't, we don't
We don't, we don't, we don't


[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“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
