The two tracks, "Barbie" and "What Is a Young Girl Made Of?," were both Bruce Morgan compositions and were issued as a single in early 1962 under the name of Kenny & the Cadets. "Barbie" was a typical early-'60s doo wop-influenced tune with a very high Brian Wilson lead vocal, while the more up-tempo "What Is a Girl Made Of?" was ordinary early-'60s teen pop. The single made no impact and in a few, the Beach Boys proper were recording for Capitol Records, making the Top Twenty for the first time in late 1962. The Kenny & the Cadets songs, however, have appeared on several compilations of their pre-Capitol Candix sessions.

Kenny & The Cadets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Went from shoe box to a visa
Awe Yea
Young nigga gotta get it right away
Imma get it right away
Big shit can’t get me out the way
Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way
Young nigga just living la vida
Next nigga wanna give me slugs
Open arms won’t get no hugs
Yea
Wait
Want me locked up or somn
Young nigga got me fucked up
Young nigga went
I went from Honda to Beamer
I need a Beamer
Wait...
Wait...
They want the drop on the Beamer
Aye
Wait
Wait
I can’t trust anyone
I don’t want your love
I can’t trust a hoe
You know my time too valuable
Young nigga got bands I’m about to blow
Make sure the trap is ensured
I keep a strap by the door
Blew like 4 through the door
Young nigga got hit with the fever
I got the chop in the Beamer
Hating niggas gotta take em out the way
Pray I make it out ok
Not get killed by my love for the gang
Get shot in my back as I’m walking away
Aye
I went from Honda to Beamer
Went from shoe box to a visa
Awe Yea
Young nigga gotta get it right away
Imma get it right away
Big shit can’t get me out the way
Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way
Young nigga just living la vida
First niggas wanna show me love
Next nigga wanna give me slugs
Open arms won’t get no hugs
Yea
Wait
Want me locked up or somn
Young nigga got me fucked up
Young nigga went
I went from Honda to Beamer
Hit the dealer shoe box with no sneakers
Wait...
Nah...
I ain’t need anyone
Had to get mines out the mud
Open arms but it wasn’t no hugs
I was taught not to show no love yea
Need that new Beamer on dubs
Don’t be reaching cause the fever on cuffs
Bumping base until the speakers gon' buss
All these dollars gon' buss
Imma make it flood yea
Still feed the streets like I’m FEMA
Land of the dreamers
Didn’t believe us
Made em believe us
Now they can see us
But I tinted the V up
Haters be all on our heels
My bitch driving I tell her to speed up
Double the re-up
Then kick my feet up yea
I went from Honda to Beamer
Went from shoe box to a visa
Awe Yea
Young nigga gotta get it right away
Imma get it right away
Big shit can’t get me out the way
Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way
Young nigga just living la vida
First niggas wanna show me love
Next nigga wanna give me slugs
Open arms won’t get no hugs
Yea
Wait
Want me locked up or somn
Young nigga got me fucked up
Young nigga went
I went from Honda to Beamer
I need a Beamer
The lyrics to Kenny & The Cadets's song "The Chase" vividly depict a narrative of personal growth and transformation, particularly in terms of material success and the realities of navigating a life filled with risks. The opening lines, "I went from Honda to Beamer, Went from shoe box to a visa," suggest a progression from a modest, practical lifestyle to one marked by luxury and financial stability. This shift in circumstances is celebrated with a sense of urgency and determination, as the singer asserts, "Young nigga gotta get it right away, Imma get it right away."
Amidst this pursuit of success, the lyrics also touch upon themes of betrayal and danger. The line, "Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way, Young nigga just living la vida," hints at the challenges and threats that come with striving for greatness. The singer reflects on the fickleness of others, noting how initial gestures of support can quickly turn into acts of violence or hostility: "First niggas wanna show me love, Next nigga wanna give me slugs." This juxtaposition highlights the inherent risks involved in navigating relationships and social dynamics in pursuit of one's goals.
The lyrics further delve into the singer's mindset and survival instincts, as they navigate a world filled with uncertainty and potential dangers. Expressions of defiance and self-preservation are evident in lines like, "I can’t trust anyone, I don’t want your love, I can’t trust a hoe," showcasing an attitude of vigilance and guardedness in the face of external threats. The mention of keeping a weapon by the door and the references to potential violence underscore the harsh realities that the singer must contend with as they strive to protect themselves and their newfound success.
Overall, "The Chase" paints a complex portrait of ambition, resilience, and the harsh realities of striving for success in a challenging environment. The lyrics capture a raw and unapologetic depiction of a protagonist's journey from humble beginnings to a place of power and influence, all while grappling with the precarious nature of trust, loyalty, and survival in a world where success can come at a steep price.
