Killin' It
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're gonna push your luck
Tell me you've had enough
I'm taking off these gloves
Get down and lick the dust

Wanna piece of this, wanna, wanna piece of this
Cherry pie, what you, what you gonna make of this?
One minute in the back seat you hit the switch
I'm a predator, rapture, I am killin' it

I am killin' it

I'm a predator, rapture, I am killin' it

I am killin' it

Got you sweating from the heart baby night and day
Imma punch to your gut and take your breath away
'Love drunk in the craze when you get a taste
I'm an earthquake, feel my rage till I get my way

Like a drug, come on, come on gotta get your fix
Eat your heart out then seal it with a kiss
Aim high, pull the trigger, till I get a hit
I'm a predator, rapture, I am killin' it

I am killin' it

I'm a predator, rapture, I am killin' it





I am killin' it

Overall Meaning

"Killin' It" by Krewella is a powerful, energetic song about taking control and dominating those who underestimate you. The opening lyrics, "You're gonna push your luck, Tell me you've had enough," suggest that the singer is done allowing others to disrespect them. They then declare that they're taking off their gloves and commanding their opponent to "Get down and lick the dust." The chorus is a proud proclamation of their own power: "I'm a predator, rapture, I am killin' it." The bridge continues this theme, with lyrics like "Like a drug, come on, come on gotta get your fix, Eat your heart out then seal it with a kiss." The singer is clearly in control and exulting in their success.


The song could be interpreted in a few different ways. On one level, it could be seen as a general empowerment anthem, encouraging listeners to stand up for themselves and take control. On another level, it could be read as a more specifically feminist track, with a female speaker taking on a male opponent and triumphing. Regardless of the interpretation, the song is undeniably catchy and infectious, with a driving beat and memorable lyrics.

I was 12 when they dropped this! I first got into Krewella at 13 when a YouTuber used can’t control myself (candy land remix) as an outro and it’s been a journey since !

@KC_Smooth

We're still young guys! 30 is the new 20. Gotta celebrate life now!

@Crustier

@George Vega OMG! DUDE SAME! I first heard about Krewella the same way you did! Maybe you're referring to the video from Unknown Player called: ''How To Destroy A Hellstorm Missile In Black Ops 2!'' In the outro he also used can't control myself!
