The struggles of moving to a new country- limited English and trouble fitting in, only helped Tapz blossom. He found his feet through his love of Green Day's music, picking up skateboarding, dancing and most of all, finding a way to express his solid individuality. However there was a missing link, and it was that boom bap "WHAT'S THAT LOUD RUBBISH IN THE SPEAKERS" kind of music that parents love to hate. He found hip hop and his soul was set. Hip hop hasn't had the best reputation for sending the right messages to youth, but Tapz was determined by the time he began high school that one day he'd be able to be a contributor to the change- a new face of hip hop. From humble beginnings in Africa to the world of life changing music- meet Young Tapz.

Killa
Young Tapz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's killed a lot niggas where I'm from, yeah
I can tell that she loves what she's become
She been, she been breakin' hearts since she was young
Jesus, please, forgive me for my sins I've sinned today
I don't know if I'm gon make it through another day
She got me, she got me working night and day
I'm a playa, I don't chase her
She a killa on the dance floor
Woah, oh, oh, oh
She a killa on the dance floor
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Eenie, meenie, minie, moe
She catch a nigga by the toe
Thirsty for her overflow
Mention movement, they want more
Her ass and she throwin' it around
She love it when I come around
But she don't love nobody, no
Knew shawty heart is so cold
She know who I am
I am the man
Do as I say, Simon says
She a [?]
Get her a yam
(hard as a mother fucker)
Body go ham
I can tell that she, she loves what she's become
She been, she been breaking hearts since she was young
Her mommy and daddy they know
That their little girlie a hoe
But they can never tell her "no"
They can never tell a soul
She wanna blow the money in my account
She keep it so low like the [?]
I'm the only one who knows
The only one that can say "no"
Shawty, she a killa where I'm from, woah
She's killed a lot of niggas where I'm from, yeah
I can, I can tell she loves what she become
She been, she been breakin' hearts since she was young
Young, young Tapz
She a killa on the dance floor, woah
Gurantee yo, guarantee no
She a killa on the dance floor
The song "Killa" by Young Tapz appears to be a cautionary tale about a woman who is a killer in more ways than one. The lyrics describe her as someone who has "killed a lot of n*ggas" and who enjoys "breaking hearts." At the same time, the singer seems drawn to her and unable to resist her charms. He hopes that Jesus will forgive him for his desire for her and acknowledges that only Jesus will be able to save her.
The lyrics also suggest that the woman is a "killa on the dance floor" and that her body is a weapon she wields effectively. The singer hints that her parents know about her promiscuity but are unable to control her behavior or even admit the truth to themselves or anyone else. The singer seems to be both attracted to and repelled by the woman, recognizing the danger she poses even as he can't resist her.
Overall, the song appears to be a meditation on the allure of danger and the way we can be drawn to people who are bad for us. The singer acknowledges both the seductive power of the woman and the damage she can do, as well as the limitations of his own ability to resist her.
