KB - Kamikaze Lyrics
Lyrics
Hook: Prisca
6, 5, 4 seconds in counting
I'm going for the kill
Mayday
Kamikaze
Yeah, yeah
I'm crashing into you
2, 1 call me crazy
I'm going for the kill
Mayday
Kamikaze
Yeah, yeah
Verse 1: KB
So, what I might fail and this might not work
You still gon' get this work
Been given this work, and it ain't based on my work
So applause ain't necessary
Trapped by all these critics
Errbody got a better way I shoulda did it
Boy, I didn't wanna go and witness
Scared by opinions, opinions
Wait, hold up!
I am not the sum of what they say
Did they make me?
Liberate me? save me?
KB's gotta be okay if they don't okay me
Might blank for the A-team and be great
Or I might hit a wall in Beijing
May not mean much to ya'll
But I know it means the world to my God
So in
Hook
Verse 2: KB
Get it all
I am showing out
Been called boy, and I know it now
What is it that I got to fear?
Can you point em' out, my homie?
I'm going out (goin' out)
Even if it's pouring down (let it rain)
How could it be stopping me when this God is inside me
He controls the clouds
This time I'm a tip great things
No more safe kid
Take risk, aim big for the nameless, go kill everyday to the dead like May 5th
Cinco de Mayo
We going higher, my ego gone be on this bio
Minor or major, success is not a number it's faithful labor
Hook
Hook
6, 5, 4 seconds in counting
I'm going for the kill
Mayday
Kamikaze
Yeah, yeah
Kamikaze

KB & Prisca - Kamikaze (@KB_HGA @reachrecords)
Meaning & Inspiration
Appearing on July 31, 2014, KB's song "Kamikaze," featuring Prisca, arrived as a powerful declaration, immediately signaling a departure from cautious faith. The title itself, evocative of absolute, potentially self-sacrificial commitment, serves as the central metaphor for a life fully surrendered to God's purposes, challenging believers to abandon worldly safety nets and cultural comforts for the sake of following Christ wholeheartedly. It delves into the radical nature of discipleship, presenting it not as a comfortable addition to one's life, but as a complete reorientation where the old self is counted as lost for the immeasurable gain of knowing Jesus. This theme resonates deeply with biblical calls to self-denial and cross-bearing, echoing the words of Jesus in Luke 9:23, where He instructs followers to "deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me," portraying discipleship as a voluntary, ongoing death to selfish ambition and worldly security. The song captures the spirit of the Apostle Paul's perspective in Philippians 3:7-8, where he considers everything that was once gain to him as loss for the sake of Christ, illustrating the radical realignment of values inherent in the Gospel. Musically, the track typically pulses with an intensity that mirrors this urgency and boldness, creating an atmosphere conducive to contemplation on such a challenging subject, while Prisca's contribution often provides a melodic counterpoint that can highlight the song's core message of divine purpose overriding personal preservation. Rather than promoting reckless living, "Kamikaze," interpreted through a biblical lens, champions a life fully yielded to the divine mission, recognizing that true safety and fulfillment are found not in clinging to earthly life but in losing it for Christ, as highlighted in Matthew 10:39. It serves as an invigorating call to courageous faith, inspiring individuals to live with the conviction that surrendering their lives completely to God is the only life truly worth living, a living sacrifice pleasing to Him, as described in Romans 12:1-2, presenting their bodies as instruments for His glory without reservation.
