1) AC is the project of Alex Cameron, a young musician from the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland.
2) AC is a rapper out of Staten Island. His myspace is www.myspace.com/thisisac.
3) AC Coming from a musical family, AC started playing drums at an early age. His parents encouraged this early musical talent with piano lessons at the age of 8.
AC was involved in a number of teenage experimental bands as a drummer, including "Big Mac and the Small Fries". Local popularity fuelled AC's desire to emerge from behind the kit and stand at the front of the stage for once, so for his 18th birthday he asked for, and received, an acoustic guitar. A succession of earnest "high school" songs followed until AC found his niche.
The successful side project "Plughole" followed in 2003, with the "Hello Ladies" album selling out in a number of days. The strain of distance between band members and work and travel commitments forced the band to dissolve in early 2004.
These days AC's work is influenced by the music he grew up with, his experience in the corporate world, and the bread and butter of every songwriter, relationships.
Problem Child
AC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hot
And when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
Get out of my way
Just step aside
Or pay the price
What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
Make my stand
No man's land
On my own
Man in blue
It's up to you
The seed is sown
What I want I stash
What I don't I smash
And you're on my list
Dead or alive
I got a .45
And I never miss
Oh I'm a problem child, yeh
I'm a problem child, owh
I'm a problem child
Desperate and wild
Just watch you step
Every night
Street light
I drink my booze
Some run
Some fight
But I win they lose
What I need I like
What I don't I fight
And I don't like you
Say bye bye
While your still alive
Your time is due
'Cause I'm a problem child, owh
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Problem child
I'm a problem child, my mother hates it
I'm a problem child, oh he
I'm a problem child
Hey yeah problem child
Whoa problem child
Problem child
Problem child
The lyrics to AC/DC's song Problem Child depict a rebellious and dangerous individual who will do whatever it takes to get what they want. The singer boasts about their ability to take what they want and break what they don't. They warn anyone in their way to step aside or pay the price. The tone of the song is aggressive and the lyrics suggest that the singer has a disregard for authority.
The chorus reveals the title of the song as the singer identifies themselves as a problem child. The repeated phrase emphasizes the idea that the singer is not just someone who occasionally causes trouble but someone who is consistently disruptive and problematic. The verse "What I need I like, what I don't I fight, and I don't like you" further establishes the singer's rebellious and combative nature.

Top this
I am the best and nothing can beat me
I'm hot
I am confident and on top of the game
And when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
When I am not winning, I become ruthless and indifferent
Get out of my way
Just step aside
Or pay the price
You better not stand in my way or else you will be in big trouble
What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
I take what I please and destroy what I don't need, and I don't want anything to do with you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do
I have the power to hurt you with ease and you are helpless against me
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
I am someone who creates problems and chaos, and I am uncontrollable
Make my stand
No man's land
On my own
I am self-sufficient and do not need anyone's help
Man in blue
It's up to you
The seed is sown
The police are responsible for dealing with me now, and I have already caused trouble
What I want I stash
What I don't I smash
And you're on my list
I keep what I want and destroy what I don't, and you are someone I want to hurt
Dead or alive
I got a .45
And I never miss
I will harm you by any means, and I always hit my target
Oh I'm a problem child, yeh
I'm a problem child, owh
I'm a problem child
Desperate and wild
I am a dangerous person who is untamed and out of control
Just watch you step
You better be careful because you might get hurt
Every night
Street light
I drink my booze
Some run
Some fight
But I win they lose
I drink my sorrows away every night, and whoever challenges me always ends up losing
What I need I like
What I don't I fight
And I don't like you
I only like what benefits me, and if you don't, then we have a problem, and I don't like you
Say bye bye
While your still alive
Your time is due
It's time for you to leave before I harm you because your time is up
'Cause I'm a problem child, owh
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Problem child
I'm a problem child, my mother hates it
I'm a problem child, oh he
I'm a problem child
Hey yeah problem child
Whoa problem child
Problem child
Problem child
I am a person who creates trouble and issues and is feared by others, but I don't care and embrace it
