Let It Rock
Kevin S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time and you do your crime
Well you made your bed, I'm in mine
Because when I arrive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Now the son's disgraced
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world to the world
And you take your time and you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours, I got mine
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Yeah! Wayne's world
Planet Rock, panties drop
And the tops and she gonna rock 'til the camera stop
And I sing about angels like Angela (rock) and Pamela (rock)
And Samantha (rock) and Amanda and Tamara
I'm in here up like bitch what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can fuck you up, I can fuck you down
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
And the jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big ass rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground, Weezy
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Just let it rock
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
I'm back like I forgot something, I'm something
Rollin' Rock rubbing rap running
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
Like Wayne the personal trainer
My aim is perfect I'll fuck ya, period, like the reminder
I wish I could be, as cruel as you
And I wish I could say, the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie, no not this time
The song "Let It Rock" by Kevin S. is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that touches on themes of identity, rebellion, and personal responsibility. The opening lines of the song set the tone for what follows, as the singer calls out someone who is hiding behind their clothing and engaging in deceptive behavior. The reference to "what is done in vain" suggests that this person's efforts are meaningless or futile, and that the truth is difficult to accept. Instead of facing their problems head-on, they turn to God in hopes of finding justification for their lies.
However, the singer is not content to let this person off the hook. They chide them for taking their time and committing various crimes, suggesting that their actions will ultimately lead to their downfall. In contrast, the singer seems confident and in control, declaring that they bring the fire and can make others come alive. They imply that they are able to take others to new heights, reminding them to let it rock and find their own rhythm.
The song then pivots to discuss a father-son relationship that has gone awry. The son, who used to have a good relationship with his father, has become jaded and disillusioned. He turns his back on the world and "sticks his middle finger" up to those who would try to control him. The singer seems to empathize with the son's situation, suggesting that he too has been hurt by those around him. However, they also seem determined not to let this pain define them, choosing instead to continue rocking and living life on their own terms.
Overall, "Let It Rock" is a powerful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and find their own path in life. It speaks to the universal struggles that many people face as they navigate relationships, identity, and personal responsibility. Through its catchy chorus and thought-provoking verses, the song invites listeners to join in and let the music rock them to new heights.

A Sensory Superpower
As it turns out, getting chills from music is not as common as you might think. Researchers from USC released a study that suggests that only about 50 percent of people feel things like shivers, a lump in their throat, and goosebumps when they listen to music. What's more, those people might have very different brains than those who don't experience those feelings.
First, they gathered 20 people and had them listen to a selection of their favorite songs. Whenever they felt a chill, they pressed a button. All 20 were then given MRI scans — and the 10 that reported reactions were obvious standouts. Their brains turned out to have a much higher volume of fibers connecting their auditory cortex to the areas that process emotion.
More fibers mean that those two areas of the brain can communicate much more effectively. It also means that, because their emotional processing centers are beefier, those people are more able to experience extreme emotions.
A Feeling of Frisson
This study might shed a light on the causes of the phenomenon, but it's been well documented for years. Actually, it even has a name. The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and it's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since it was first described.
That's because even if we know the actual mechanism that causes frisson — a close connection to the emotional processing center — we don't know what purpose it could serve us. But other studies have suggested some potential benefits of this kind of behavior.
One report from 2007 found that individuals who experience frisson are more open to new experiences than others, and other studies described higher levels of creativity and intellectual curiosity. In other words, the appreciation of beauty is central to what makes us human, and frisson is just a super-charged version of that appreciation.
