Born in Long Beach, California, his father and mother were both Crip gang members. During his time growing up, his father was imprisoned. However, after he was released, they all moved to Arlington, Texas, in search of a better environment, a place that would set the stage for Tay’s music career. Tay-K got his start in music at a young age. He worked as one half of the group Daytona Boyz alongside his longtime friend PiMPYZ in middle school and early high school. While he gained a local buzz, Tay only began to get nationwide attention due to his conflicts with the law. As a 15-year-old, he was accused of killing a female college student in a drive-by shooting on January 1, 2016. As a minor at the time, he was charged with house probation. However, Tay-K cut off his ankle monitor and fled to New Jersey, unnoticed for over a month. It was during this time he recorded his breakout hit “The Race,” bragging about his escape of the law. Eventually, he was arrested on June 30, 2017, and extradited back to Fort Worth, Texas.
After a trial lasting multiple years, Tay-K was sentenced to 55 years in prison after being found guilty of the murder of 21-year-old Ethan Walker. He will not be eligible for parole until he serves at least half of his sentence.
Kickback
Tay-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I got a spanish bitch, let her ride during licks
And she from the Agg gotta watch out who she with
Cuz it's opps out there and I been hittin licks
Kickback, kickback, choppa is gon' kickback
Choppa it go click clack I'm lookin for the piss pack
Kickback, kickback, Glock is gon' kickback
Choppa is gon' kickback I'm lookin for the piss pack
Why you pull your gun out now you can't get your tool back
Tay-K they know me got shooters on my balcony
A nigga run up in this hoe it's gonna be a fatality
Your bitch wanna get serious, she tryna get a house with me
Bitch icecream on my feet but ain't shit sweet about me
Kickback, kickback choppa is gon' kickback
Glock is gon' kickback I'm lookin for the piss pack
Kickback, kickback choppa is gon' kickback
Choppa it go click clack I'm lookin for the piss pack
The lyrics to Tay-K's "Kickback" speak of his promiscuity with women of different races, mentioning a White and Spanish girl. He also discusses the dangers of being associated with certain people from the Agg (neighborhood) due to there being enemies and him having committed robberies. The chorus emphasizes the use of guns and the potential danger that comes with using them, specifically the recoil or "kickback". The lyrics also mention Tay-K's reputation as someone who has shooters on their balcony and isn't afraid to use violence if necessary. The tone of the lyrics is very aggressive and assertive, with Tay-K boasting about his prowess and fearless attitude.
The song was written and recorded by Taymor Travon McIntyre (Tay-K) while he was a fugitive from the law, having been accused of murder and placed on the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted list. The lyrics must be viewed in the context of his situation, as he was on the run and had little to lose. The song was released a year later, when Tay-K was in jail awaiting trial, and became popular due to its catchy beat and memorable lyrics. The dark subject matter of the song reflects Tay-K's troubled past and his involvement in gang activity.
