About

The song describes a dancer who had humble beginnings, but is now gaining attraction for their style. A fear of “going away” for a job and being exploited in the industry for being such a good dancer shows up throughout the song.

Kick Jump Twist Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kick their shoes off fast now
They're going insane
All the kids on the block, yeah
They want that fame
Twisting like a cap now
They're loving their pain
Jumping burning hot, yeah
Practiced alone for days

[Pre-Chorus]
They want all the invisible eyes on them
They want all the invisible eyes

[Chorus]
Now what you gonna do but dance for the camera
Dance for the shutterbug
Dance for your mama
Dance with a kick, jump, twist
Kick, jump, twist

[Verse 2]
Sweating through their sequins
Oh but they look good, yeah
Mascara dripping slow down
Oh but they're turning your way

[Chorus]
Dance for the camera
Dance for the shutterbug
Dance for your mama
Dance with a kick, jump, twist
Kick, jump, twist

[Bridge]
But what if they call you?
Then you'll go away
A highway, an airport
Everyday
You don't care, you're moving anyway
Everyday
Kick, jump, twist
Kick, jump, twist

[Breakdown]
Kick for your mama
Kick for the shutterbug
Kick for the camera
Kick, jump

[Pre-Chorus]
They want all the invisible eyes on them
(Twist for your mama
Twist for the shutterbug)
They want all the invisible eyes
(Twist for the camera
Twist, kick)

[Pre-Chorus]
They want all the invisible eyes on them
(Jump for your mama
Jump for the shutterbug)
They want all the invisible eyes
(Jump for the camera
Jump, twist)

[Breakdown]
Kick for your mama
Kick for the shutterbug
Kick for the camera
Kick, jump

Twist for your mama
Twist for the shutterbug
Twist for the camera
Twist, kick

[Chorus]
Now what you gonna do but dance for the camera
Dance for the shutterbug
Dance for your mama
Dance with a kick, jump, twist
Kick, jump, twist
Kick, jump, twist
