Having spent the majority of the early part of his career behind the control board and not the mic, Kid Ink crafting his production skills working with multi-platinum artists like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sean Kingston as well Yung Berg and Nipsey Hussle. Production came natural for Kid Ink, "I started making the beats because I already had several artists trying the rap thing out, so I thought I would be more useful supplying the production." But sitting behind the board was not enough for Kid Ink. Just a few short years ago, Kid Ink picked up the mic and a new contender in the Hip-Hop game was born.
Honing his skills as a songwriter creating hooks for his beats, Kid Ink stepped up his lyrical repertoire with full length and completed songs.
2010 was a breakout year in the young rapper’s career. Teaming up with world-renowned DJ ill Will and DJ Rockstar’s newly formed Tha Alumni Music Group; Kid Ink became more focused in his grind and began working on the underground hit, Crash Landing Mixtape. His hard work paid off and the music industry began to take notice. Within 10 days of its release, Crash Landing garnered critical acclaim, a position at the top of Datpiff.com’s ‘Top Mixtapes of the Week’ section and amassed an astonishing 50 thousand downloads.
After Crash Landings’ debut, national and international request to perform rolled in. Kid Ink has toured the states with stops in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Denver, Kansas City and Buffalo; and internationally in Toronto, Canada, Zurich, Switzerland, Melbourne, Australia and Krasnador, Russia.

With videos under his belt including Internet sensations “Lowkey Poppin,” “Please” and “Cali Dreamin,’” Kid Ink is definitely rockin’ to his own beat.
Kid Ink continued his 2011 tear by releasing “Wheels Up,” yet another all original Mixtape on October 10th to an overwhelming response.

Following the release of “Wheels Up,” Ink has been on a mini “Wheels Up” tour including stops in the Bay Area, Denmark, New York, Boston, Toronto, Denver & Chicago to name a few, performing to packed crowds of 600-2,000.

After the immediate sales success of “Up & Away,” Ink found himself in a bidding war with all the major labels.

Kid Ink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I could get high with you (yeah)
All she gotta do is drop somethin' down, move around
While I pitch a couple bands to the roof
Let's bend a couple rules and get another room
That's a lil' more private, all eyes on you
All you gotta do is (ooh), motivate me with your movement
Watch me hit 'em with the finesse
You don't want check for damage
I put that ass to bed rest
Watch me pull up in the coupe
Two seat, I got the double with the scoop
But it's a group, same niggas from the stu' (with me)
Dub city, I just send a alley oop
From the window to the wall
With the southshade from me when the money start to fall (okay)
Lookin' like Lamelo when I ball
Might pump fake then watch 'em jump criss-cross (okay)
I take my hand and I put on your waist
She look and tell me nigga, this ain't no race
It's all good I can move with your pace
While I wait I'ma break it down like, mh
Roll some then we blow it to the moon
Hit the gas and you feel that shit like vroom vroom
Legs up and I eat that shit like, mmh
Need a boom boom boom, baby
All I gotta do is pull up with the pound right now
And I could get high with you (yeah)
All she gotta do is drop somethin' down, move around
While I pitch a couple bands to the roof
Let's bend a couple rules and get another room
That's a lil' more private, all eyes on you
All you gotta do is (ooh), motivate me with your movement
While I'm throwing all these dead pres'
Watch me hit 'em with the finesse
You don't want check for damage
I put that ass to bed rest
I'm feeling like J.F.K
Waving at the top of the hook, go crazy
Apeshit, got them bitches jumpin' out their cages
But can't get close, 'cause I'm way too famous
Still tryna keep it humble
While she bang, in the mirror see the gun smoke
Break it down, need change for the hundo'
Every man for themselves while you rumbo (okay)
I'ma get you up and out them Balmains
So you gon' walk up out of here with no strings, (no strings) no strings
Simple and plain before your mind change, let's ride
Roll some then we blow it to the moon
Pump the gas and you feel that shit like vroom vroom
Legs up and I eat that shit like, mmh
Need a boom boom boom, baby
All I gotta do is pull up with the pound right now
And I could get high with you (yeah)
All she gotta do is drop somethin' down, move around
While I pitch a couple bands to the roof
Let's bend a couple rules and get another room
That's a lil' more private, all eyes on you
All you gotta do is (ooh), motivate me with your movement
While I'm throwing all these dead pres'
Watch me hit 'em with the finesse
You don't wanna check for damage
I put that ass to bed rest
I'm throwing all these dead pres'
Watch me hit 'em with the finesse
You don't wanna check for damage
I put that ass to bed rest

All I gotta do is pull up with the pound right now
I only need to arrive with a significant amount of money at this moment
And I could get high with you (yeah)
If I do that, I can have a great time with you
All she gotta do is drop somethin' down, move around
All she needs to do is show off her attractive features and dance
While I pitch a couple bands to the roof
Meanwhile, I'll throw some money up in the air
Let's bend a couple rules and get another room
We should break some rules and find a more private place
That's a lil' more private, all eyes on you
A location where you'll have all the attention focused on you
All you gotta do is (ooh), motivate me with your movement
Your captivating movements are all it takes to inspire me
While I'm throwing all these dead pres'

You don't want to assess the consequences

I make you exhausted with my actions

Witness me arriving in a stylish sports car
Two seat, I got the double with the scoop
It only has two seats, but I manage to fit more people in
But it's a group, same niggas from the stu' (with me)
However, it's a group of friends, the same people I'm usually with in the studio
Dub city, I just send a alley oop

Need a boom boom boom, baby
I desire intense pleasure and satisfaction
I'm feeling like J.F.K
I have a confident and influential demeanor like John F. Kennedy
Waving at the top of the hook, go crazy
Celebrating and exciting the crowd at the climax of the song
Apeshit, got them bitches jumpin' out their cages
Going wild, causing excitement among the women to the point that they can't contain themselves
But can't get close, 'cause I'm way too famous
However, they can't approach me because I'm extremely well-known
Still tryna keep it humble
Despite my success, I'm still attempting to remain modest and grounded
While she bang, in the mirror see the gun smoke
While she dances provocatively, I see the smoke from the gun in the mirror
Break it down, need change for the hundo'
Analyze the situation, I need change for the hundred-dollar bill
Every man for themselves while you rumbo (okay)
Everyone is looking out for their own interests while you're engaged in a dispute
I'ma get you up and out them Balmains
I'll help you take off your expensive Balmains clothing
So you gon' walk up out of here with no strings, (no strings) no strings
Therefore, you'll leave this place without any commitments or attachments
Simple and plain before your mind change, let's ride
In a straightforward manner, let's embark on this journey before you change your mind
I'm throwing all these dead pres'
I'm carelessly tossing around worthless bills
Watch me hit 'em with the finesse
Observe how I skillfully impress others
You don't wanna check for damage
You don't want to investigate the negative consequences
I put that ass to bed rest
I exhaust you to the point where you can't continue
I'm throwing all these dead pres'
I continue to toss around these worthless bills
Watch me hit 'em with the finesse
Observe how I skillfully impress others
You don't wanna check for damage
You don't want to investigate the negative consequences
I put that ass to bed rest
I exhaust you to the point where you can't continue
