Topless Lyrics

Analysed lyrics in (brackets)  
Chorus:
My car stay
Topless (Yeah) (the car is a convertible)
That's how I ride (shows is expectations with the type and standard of car)
Beater top down, chrome on the side (he is driving an expensive car)
Topless (Yeah)
And I'm gonna pull the roof back
Wind blow her hair back, she love to feel that(he is driving with a women)
Topless (Yeah)
New jeans on the calf, fit it on the dash, pocket full of cash(telling his audience that he has money and is very rich to say he has a lot of cash)
Topless
'Round here we be ridin' topless(he lives in a rich area to say that all the people around that area drive expensive cars)
From this verse we can see this is everything the artists has dreamed about, all the luxieries he has wished to have since a young age 

My car stay kidded, everywhere I go, shine like a lamp in it(everywhere he goes his car looks good and it’s something that everyone looks at)
Candy apple paint, got 'em askin' who is it?
It's Los if you didn't know the sitch, I'm winnin', yes I'm winning'(he is in the best position and everything is going good)
The shorty gotta have it, got her doin' tricks, just call me the rabbit( he’s got girl doing anything for him)
Matter of fact I'm fine, you can call me Aladdin(this shows that he can have anything he wanted whilst wishing for it)
A hundred haters in the parking lot sayin' "Damn it" They all sayin' "Damn it"(people dislike him because he is wealthy)
(Ay)
through this verse he is showing he in unafraid of showing his, and rou to use it to make his own life better. 
Little mama what's goin' on? Hop in the front seat, shorty crank that A/C (he is referring back to his mother to say she comes first)
(If you like it)
You already know it's on
(I lay the top back)

Chorus: (repeated)
My car stay
Topless (Yeah)
That's how I ride
Beater top down, chrome on the side
Topless (Yeah)
And I'm gonna pull the roof back
Wind blow her hair back, she love to feel that
Topless (Yeah)
New jeans on the calf, fit it on the dash, pocket full of cash
Topless
'Round here we be ridin' topless

My money stay longer(he always wants to have money)
I ain't Kanye, but homie I'm stronger(he’s not comparing to Kanye west but he has more guts and willing to do more things)
Freeway stuntin' call me Speedracer(he drives down the freeway really fast)
I ain't no alcoholic, but shorty my chaser
Shorty my chaser
My Chevy is a monster,(monster)
24's sit on that Impala,(Impala)
Gorillas on the creek
But I'm King Kong with bananas on the seat


Little mama what's goin' on?
Hop in the front seat, shorty crank that A/C
(If you like it) |
You already know it's on
(I lay the top back)

Chorus:
My car stay
Topless (Yeah)
That's how I ride
Beater top down, chrome on the side
Topless (Yeah)
And I'm gonna pull the roof back
Wind blow her hair back, she love to feel that
Topless (Yeah)
New jeans on the calf, fit it on the dash, pocket full of cash
Topless
'Round here we be ridin' topless



[Soulja Boy]
Topless like Ferrari(comparing his car to a Ferrari)
Smooth like Bacardi(he has alcohol and he has the expensive sort) 
Take off your top like a Spring Bling party(now he is physically topless)
Get money like 50, Fat Joe "Make It Rain" (he’s got loads of money and he can make it rain with the money)
On the freeway "Rush Hour 3" in the lane(In the lane)(he is driving really fast on the highway dogging cars)
Big wheels, pick a number like Rolette(he has big alloys and there expensive)
So fresh that you ain't gotta take a drug test( they got drugs and there fresh)
Apple bottom, shake it, turn it into sauce
T-Pain, Rick Ross, yup I'm the biggest boss( He’s the best there is)

Little mama what's goin' on? Hop in the front seat, shorty crank that A/C
(If you like it)
You already know it's on(I lay the top back)
[The real Crystal Crew]

Chorus:
My car stay
Topless (Yeah)
That's how I ride
Beater top down, chrome on the side
Topless (Yeah)
And I'm gonna pull the roof back
Wind blow her hair back, she love to feel that
Topless (Yeah)
New jeans on the calf, fit it on the dash, pocket full of cash
Topless
'Round here we be ridin' topless

From the lyrics we can see that the artists has tried to follow the theme of a traditional hip hop artist, for example there are certain icons that are involved within the lyrics, for example we see that the use of women, alcohol and money is used. This tells us that the song is something you expect from an original Hip Hop artist  looking back at the lyrics I would say that the target audience that they provide for which is 14 – 19 year olds, I would say the lyrics are on par and would be something that there target audience would enjoy and love.

Section 3 – Analysing the music

The music to topless is not to slow buts it’s not too fast, the song is something you would listen to through your headphones, and it’s not a song you play at a party or anything like that. The music is repeated twice as the lyrics do the same thing. However the music seems to be very catchy and music that you would listen to all the time. I wouldn't necessarily say that the music is upbeat but I would say that the music has a good beat and it gave me the sense of relaxation. As we know that the target audience is 14-19 year olds I think the pace and beat of the music is perfect, this type of music is something this target audience would appreciate and enjoy.

Section 4 – Analysing the tempo

Listening to the song there are many words you could use to describe it, some of the words that came to mind straight away where, relaxing, consistent, constant, steady and each element added to the song was balanced out really well.

Section 5 – How would I turn this into a music video?

Looking at all the elements I have analysed, I think that making a music video would not be difficult but it wouldn't be easy, I would make a video that illustrates the lyrics but something that is not narrative due to some of the lyrics overlapping each other. I would also add Voyeurism to the video as I would want to gain the males viewers’ attention. but then saying that, with songs in the present days, they mostly attract both genders attention, so i would make the visual aspect of the video video, for example, i would potentially have some eye candy too.
