Opposite of Adults (feat. MGMT) Lyrics

Fresh Kid Z, fresh Kid C, fresh Kid P, fresh Kid T
(Oh yeah, we back) Chiddy Bang
And we pretty much amazing
Can we hear your new song please?
I got you

Hey, yo, I once was a kid, all I had was a dream
Mo money, mo problems, when I get it I'm going to pile it up
Now I'm dope, Wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
Hey, yo, I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm ripping up shows and them fans going wild with us
Tell mommy I'm sorry, this life is a party
I'm never growing up

Remember you was a kid, reminisce, days of the innocence
Now it's Chiddy Bang, Google me the images
Follow me, follow me, I'm the leader
And when I park cars I don't pay for the meter
I remember I was younger as a kid it was the best
I used to touch on all the pretty girls at recess
I'm at my peak, yes, I won't leave yet
Serial style, cereal all I need's Chex
I can make these rappers run like a hard drill
Rock band show you how the guitar feel
And I could care less how ya'll feel
I got a flow that make a bitch do a cartwheel
This is that good, just puff it and relax bro
And you could get it free, don't worry about the tax though
And Xaphoon, thank you for the crack
But I play a Ron Burgundy, I anchor on the track like what

Hey, yo, I once was a kid, all I had was a dream
Mo money, mo problems, when I get it I'm going to pile it up
Now I'm dope, Wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
Hey, yo, I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm ripping up shows and them fans going wild with us
Tell mommy I'm sorry, this life is a party
I'm never growing up

Can I please get a little bit of knowledge?
Somebody tell Roth that I don't love college
Because the real world's kind of like Real World
And it's drama, so you are Svetlana
And I'm just a rhymer, swimming in the water
Trying to dodge the piranha, and fly to Bahamas
Pretty little mama, Chiddy in the spot
Where you at, pearl lady? Show me what you got
They say, "Why you rapping for the kids for"
I say my clothes come fitted, the Lids store
This summer you can catch me on a big tour
I'm high grade,I think they need to quiz more
And let me get with you, don't let the kid hit you
I'm the photo album for ??, big picture
The rule is, the dude is, so up so chuck, I'm a cool kid

Hey, yo, I once was a kid, all I had was a dream
Mo money, mo problems, when I get it I'm going to pile it up
Now I'm dope, Wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
Hey, yo, I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whipping up shows and them fans going wild with us
Tell mommy I'm sorry, this life is a party
I'm never growing up

Hey, yo, I once was a kid, all I had was a dream
Mo money, mo problems, when I get it I'm going to pile it up
Now I'm dope, Wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
Hey, yo, I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whipping up shows and them fans going wild with us
Tell mommy I'm sorry, this life is a party
I'm never growing up

Hey, yo, I once was a kid, all I had was a dream
Mo money, mo problems, when I get it I'm going to pile it up
Now I'm dope, Wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
Hey, yo, I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whipping up shows and them fans going wild with us
Tell mommy I'm sorry, this life is a party
I'm never growing up

Yes, the beginning is a mic check. He says:

Fresh Kid Z, fresh Kid C, fresh Kid P, fresh Kid T (Oh yeah, we back) Oh, and Xaphoon by the way (Yeah Jones, yeah) Chiddy Bang And we pretty much amazing (Xaphoon: Can we hear your new song please?) I got you

Fresh Kid Z - Zack Sewall (drummer) Fresh Kid C - Chidera “Proto” Anamege aka "Chiddy" (front man and lyrical genius) Fresh Kid P - Pat Braz (production and vocals from guitarist) Fresh Kid T - ??? Xaphoon - Noah Bresin aka "Xaphoon Jones" (producer, keyboardist, and original beat maker)

For those of you who don't know, Chiddy Bang started out a duo - Xaphoon did the beats while Chiddy did the vocals. They met during their first year of college and have been close friends ever since. If you listen closely after Chiddy says "yeah, Jones yeah", he snickers a little bit, so I think the opening was meant to be a little joke. He left Xaphoon out of the mic check, and was like, "oh yeah, and him, too", even though Xaphoon made the beat (which is so effing dope, by the way). It's kinda funny, in a nerdy, hip hop kinda way. Hahaha...

I hope that helps clear things up. There seemed to be a lot of confusion about this.

This song is great, but it doesn't compare to the other songs on their mixtape. Chiddy Bang is hot fire, and if you liked this, then you love their other tracks. Chiddy has an amazing, refreshing flow and Xaphoon's beats are original, creative, and unlike anything else we're hearing right now. Song pieces are sampled all the time, but the way Mr. Jones blends his beats is pure talent. They're definitely a group to look out for.

I suggest: Fresh Like Us Stylo (Remix) Dream Chasin Silver Screens Because Decline Day 'N Night (Remix) Slow Down*

    • Featured on "The Swelly Express", the same mixtape that "Opposite of Adults" is on

Chiddy Bang is so good! I'm surprised theres not more comments for these guys. Sick song

Cover art for Opposite of Adults (feat. MGMT) lyrics by Chiddy Bang

Shouldn't this be titled "Opposite of Adults"?

"Somebody tell Roth that I don't love college" - Amazing.

Cover art for Opposite of Adults (feat. MGMT) lyrics by Chiddy Bang

love this song but it reminds me too much of someone id rather forget. gutted.

Cover art for Opposite of Adults (feat. MGMT) lyrics by Chiddy Bang

First off, the song is called 'Opposite Of Adults', obviously because it samples 'Kids' by MGMT.

I've only heard this song for the first time just this week, and I think it's terrific. Not just the lyrics but the sampling by Xaphoon is awesome.

Also, I've got a feeling "mo money mo problems" should be "no money no problems, when I get it i'm a pile em' up." Just because he doesn't have it yet but when he does he'll be smothered with cash but also with the problems of the fame and pressure that comes with those things.

Also, the film clip to this song is freakin' fantastic.

Lyric Correction

Hey ClemAdam, I agree with everything you said about this song being amazing. The reason Chiddy says "mo money, mo problems" instead of "no money, no problems" is because when Xaphoon sampled the song, he took the kids samples and but it into a Mo money, Mo problems beat by Biggie Smalls. I think thats where that lyric comes from.

I stand corrected, the lyrics at the top are correct, it's mo not no.

Cover art for Opposite of Adults (feat. MGMT) lyrics by Chiddy Bang

Its mo, cos its a reference to notorious b.i.g. "It was all a dream" from juicy and mo money mo problems another song

Could it be that notorious b.i.g. is the only rapper that uses slang?

Not Valid
Cover art for Opposite of Adults (feat. MGMT) lyrics by Chiddy Bang

what does he mean when he says "Fresh Kid Z, fresh Kid C, fresh Kid P, fresh Kid T" at the beginning? I can't figure it out.

This is a total guess and I could be way off, but he could be calling out a bunch of other rappers. Kid Z = Jay Z Kid C = Kid Cudi Kid P = P Diddy? Kid T = T.I.? T-Pain? Timbaland? Could be anybody. At least that's what I took it as.

Not Valid

Although I love the other response, I have to disagree. I think he was doing something similar to a mic check...

FRESH KID C= Chidera “Proto” Anamege aka "Chiddy" (front man and lyrical genius) FRESH KID T= Noah Beresin aka "Xaphoon" (keyboardist and original beat-maker) FRESH KID Z= Zach Sewall(drummer) FRESH KID P= Pat Braz (production and vocals from guitarist)
