[Chorus, KSI]
I'm in the thick of it
Everybody knows
They know me where it snows
I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice
I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so
I've been told
[Verse 1, KSI]
I'm in my prime
And this ain't even final form
They knocked me down, but still
My feet, they find the floor
I went from living rooms
Straight out to sold out tours
Life's a fight, but trust
I'm ready for the war
[Pre-Chorus, KSI]
Woah-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes
[Chorus, KSI]
I'm in the thick of it
Everybody knows
They know me where it snows
I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice
I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so
I'vе been told
[Verse 2, KSI]
From the screen to the ring
To the pеn, to the king
Where's my crown? That's my bling
Always drama when I ring
See, I believe that if I see it in my heart
Smash through the ceiling 'cause
I'm reaching for the stars
[Pre-Chorus, KSI]
Woah-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes
[Chorus, KSI + Trippie Redd]
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows
I skied in and they froze (Woo)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice
I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so
I've been told
[Verse 3, KSI + Trippie Redd]
Highway to heaven
I'm just cruisin' by my lone'
They cast me out
Left me for dead, them people cold
My faith in God, mind in the sun
I'm 'bout to sow (Yeah)
My life is hard, I took the wheel
I cracked the code
(Yeah-yeah, woah-oh-oh)
Ain't nobody gon' save you, man
This life will break you
(Yeah, woah-oh-oh)
In the thick of it
This is how the story goes
[Chorus, KSI + Trippie Redd]
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows
I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice
I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so
I've been told
I'm in the thick of i
Everybody knows (Everybody knows)
They know me where it snows
I skied in and they froze (Yeah)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice
I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so,
I've been told (Ooh-ooh)
[Outro, KSI + Trippie Redd]
Woah-oh-oh
(Nah-nah-nah-nah, ayy, ayy)
This is how the story goes
(Nah, nah)
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes
Meaning & Review KSI - Thick Of It (feat. Trippie Redd)
The song by KSI and Trippie Redd has become a real phenomenon, sparking a storm of comments on the internet. The reviews of this composition impress with their diversity and frankness, presenting a unique mix of admiration and complete criticism. Right from the first listen, it becomes clear that many consider this track "straight fire," but at the same time, they do not hesitate to openly joke about it. Many listeners find it hard to take this track seriously. Mentions of "super low quality" and "a national treasure that needs to be buried" become a leitmotif of jokes in the comments. Opinions often emerge that this song has come out too late, as if it were some kind of antique that has no place in the modern music world. Comments about how "funny" it is to look at KSI or how "dad threw the phone on the floor" only emphasize the level of irony with which the audience perceives this work.
It’s interesting how the audience reacted to Trippie Redd's participation in this project. Many believe that his involvement only highlights the absurdity of the situation — "he seems to have agreed to this track for a lot of money." Nevertheless, there are positive reviews of his part in the comments, but more often the emphasis is placed on the fact that the song would have been much better if Trippie had taken on a larger portion of the performance. This indicates how the audience perceives the very idea of a collaborative track and expectations from two well-known artists. Some listeners even joke that the "buzz" around this song is created solely by the sharpness of the comments, and that they are sometimes more interesting than the track itself. Discussions about how "the comments are better than the song" or how "this sounds more like an old musical animation" point to the fact that a true folklore has emerged around the composition. Comments like "this is music for Minecraft" or "a song that would play in hell" create their own context, turning the track into a meme on the internet.
The phrase "I’d rather listen to silence" plays on the overall trend of dissatisfaction from the audience, which essentially laughs at KSI's attempts to "cook something up" in the music sphere. There are elements of support here, but the voice of disappointment is clearly heard. Many note that KSI has too big an ego, and the music itself leaves much to be desired, falling into the category of "gradual self-destruction." In this context, it’s amusing to observe how he continues to try to find himself in the world of music, despite the powerful attacks from the audience. These dialogues from the comments clearly show that humor and sarcasm have become important components of the perception of this song. Ultimately, it seems that listeners use it as a kind of "fun crossword" — one writes about "losing hearing," another notes that it sounds like "the worst advertisement," and someone else adds that maybe it could help in the fight against depression.
In general, the "song" has become something more than just a musical track. It has grown into a real social reality that attracts attention, prompts discussion, and, of course, makes people laugh. And despite all the disparaging comments, it’s interesting to see how KSI continues to stand on stage, like a herald of his failures, and still gets his share of popularity.
