Just Got Paid
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should grow up some day 'cause I got bills to pay
I can't be living life at someone else's pace
I know I think too much, can't pay the rent this month
I should be saving up, but
I just got paid
I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Don't know where we're going
We go in when we go out
I just got paid
I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Don't know where we're going
We go in when we go out
I just got paid

And it feels like every day's a holiday
So I can't take my cheque to the bank
And I know, know, know I should be worried
But I work, work, work to the bone, baby

So gimme that
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (woo)
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (hey)
Gimme that money
I said, now, gimme that money

I should grow up some day 'cause I got bills to pay
I can't be living life at someone else's pace
I know I think too much, can't pay the rent this month
I should be saving up, but
I just got paid
I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Don't know where we're going
We go in when we go out (yeah)
I just got paid
I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Don't know where we're going
We go in when we go out (Kidz Bop, yeah)
I just got paid

La-di-da, we like to party
Don't cause trouble, don't bother nobody
La-di-da-di, woke up in the party
Sports, yeah, sports car drivers
Show up, show out, bowl in, bowl out
Go in, go out, these moves, we pull out
I got more diamonds, and they be the finest
These days, we don't have the timin'
Crush denim, top spinnin', cool beans, front grillin'
Got paid (hey, hey, hey)
Hop the G5, fade
Put those hands up, wavin' like a sailboat (sailboat)
When you hear the haan, there it go
Kidz Bop here with the funky sound
Yeah, we got the London sound
I should grow up, they say
Stuck in my glory days
I know there's nothing wrong, it's just a passing phase
And when I've had my fun, I swear I'll be someone
I know that day will come, but
I just got paid
I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Don't know where we going
We go in when we go out
I just got paid (hey)
I'm broke, but I'm ballin'
Don't know where we're going
We go in when we go out (hey, hey, hey)
Yeah, I just got paid
Woo, come on

I just got paid (come gimme that)
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (woo)
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that
Gimme that money (gimme that)
Come on now, gimme that money
I just got paid
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (come on)
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (hey)
Gimme that money (gimme that)




Come on now, gimme that money
I just got paid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to KIDZ BOP Kids' song "Just Got Paid" explore the conflicting emotions of being responsible and having financial obligations, while also wanting to enjoy the present moment and indulge in spending. The opening lines suggest a sense of maturity and acknowledging the need to grow up because of bills that need to be paid. However, the singer also expresses a desire to live life on their own terms and not be dictated by anyone else's pace. They admit to being overly introspective, possibly overthinking their financial situation, and struggling to pay the rent.


Despite the financial constraints, the chorus reveals a contradiction. The singer declares that they just got paid and although they are broke, they feel like they are ballin'. They are unsure of where they are heading in life, but they enjoy going out and having a good time. The feeling of having just gotten paid creates a celebratory atmosphere, even if the reality is financial instability.


The second part of the song emphasizes the singer's carefree attitude towards money. They mention that every day feels like a holiday, which may contribute to their inability to save money. They also acknowledge that they should be worried about their financial situation, but they constantly work hard to make ends meet. The repetitive chants of "gimme that money" and "gimme that" further emphasize their desire for financial resources, possibly to fund their party lifestyle. Despite recognizing the need to grow up and be responsible, the singer is unable to resist the allure of immediate gratification and spending their paycheck.


Overall, the song captures the struggle between financial responsibilities and the desire for instant gratification, portraying a conflict many young people face when it comes to managing money.
