Kid Quill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Man this right here my CD
Ain't know me from the jump
But now they front like we be homies
Was down up in a rut
But now I'm up, just like the old me
Y'all need to take a break yeah, woah
Man this should give or take yeah, woah
Now they know all about it
The way I snap on everything
You think I'm DJ Khaled woah
I spit a verse and let the mic drop
Watch me and your favorite rapper do a face-swap
This new shit is Gucci
Over here just like I'm GuWap
And all these new blessings got me screaming Hallelujah
Okay this one strikes a chord
My ego that's a double-edge sword, yeah
I had to wake up in the morning
Look my self up in the mirror
And I gave myself this pep talk
To make things clear
I said today
I'm a go out my way
I'm a, find some better words to say
And I'm a dapper down yeah I look so clean
Swear the grasses never look this green, no
I said today
I'm a be my own boss
I'm a, never take no loss
I said today, hold up, yeah I'm a just do me
I swear that should be my daily routine
Woah
I like my pizza cold and my women colder
She too stubborn or I would've told her
And every time I'm with my buddies
Yeah we never sober
Wake up feeling 10 years older
And I gotta let my heart beat through these words
This what I just deserve
Flow so sweet yeah this that desert
But I'm a let my work do the work
Mom they love it when I smirk
Please don't get up on my nerves
Yeah y'all gon' find a curve
I'm a young man, yeah
With a young plan, yeah
I went and did it for my hometown, my homies
If they don't hit my phone up they phonies, yeah
And I've been doing me so long I'm feeling lonely
Did it by myself yeah I think it's time I owe me
And it took, a couple long years to write these songs
Guess how long that takes to right wrongs
Sing along
And they gon' talk down
But you knew they would
And you don't lash out
Even though you should
It's been a long day
But you still all good
Just look at all the bullshit that you withstood
And I learned one thing
Fuck what they think
The hardest part about writing your story
Is knowing that you're worth the ink
So let's sing, say what
Kid Quill's song "Daily Routine" is all about growth, self-love, and perseverance. The rapper relates how he has come a long way from being in a rut to being at the top of his game. The song begins with the rapper feeling free and hitting his Sway, which is a reference to the popular hip-hop radio show Sway in the Morning, where artists often go to freestyle. He goes on to say that people didn't know him from the jump, but now they front like they're homies. This could be a reference to how people tend to ride the fame wave of celebrities and artists when they start doing well, even if they didn't care for them before.
Kid Quill then talks about having been in a rut and now being up, just like the old him. He tells people they need to take a break and that things should give or take, indicating that sometimes taking a break from the daily routine can help you see things differently. He also references DJ Khaled and how his fans think he spits verses like the famous DJ. He talks about having blessings that make him scream Hallelujah and how his ego is a double-edged sword. He had to wake up in the morning and encourage himself in the mirror, determining that he would go out of his way to find better words to say and that he would be his own boss.
The song then takes a funky turn with Kid Quill talking about his love for cold pizza and colder women. He talks about how he never does anything sober with his buddies and how he wakes up feeling ten years older. He talks about letting his heart beat through his words and how his flow is like a sweet dessert. He says that he's done things for his hometown and homies and that if they don't call him back, they're phonies. He also touches on the loneliness that comes with self-improvement and the struggle of doing things alone. In the final verse, he talks about not lashing out, no matter how much people talk down, and how the hardest part of writing your story is knowing that you're worth the ink.

I prefer my pizza and relationships to be distant and cool. Hanging out with friends often leads to excessive drinking and feeling terrible the next day.

My music expresses my true feelings and deserves recognition. My talent speaks for itself.

Guess how long that takes to right wrongs
Sing along
My mom loves my confident smirk but please don't annoy me. If anyone doesn't contact me, they're not a genuine friend. I've made it on my own and it's time to reap the rewards. It took me a while to create my music, but it was worth it. It's the right way to reconcile with the past. Let's sing together.
And they gon' talk down
But you knew they would
And you don't lash out
Even though you should
It's been a long day
But you still all good
Just look at all the bullshit that you withstood
People will criticize you no matter what, but you're not going to react in anger. You've been through a lot but are still going strong. Take a look at everything you've overcome.
And I learned one thing
Fuck what they think
The hardest part about writing your story
Is knowing that you're worth the ink
So let's sing, say what
I've learned to not care about others' opinions. It's hard to believe in your story sometimes, but you're valuable and your life is worth sharing. Let's sing and express ourselves.
