Hey, Uh oh ooh oh.

Verse:
Take the time for a minute
show you how I'm feeling
Pause for a poem
I make it real appealing
I got alot of people
that could understand my view
on why I'm on this love tip
and girl I'm on a love trip
You got me thinking, not in a dirty sense
you ain't sleazy, and easy or on the fence
your defence, and everything about you I adore
alot has happened since you seen me on the 2nd floor.
Yeah, you working hard and it's a blessing to have you
care for me, when I know, you don't have to
but I'm a be the man who, stick to the plan to get that money right
and be your friend and your man, true?
Them other couples caught up, in drama's and nonesense
and now they feel stuck. I be the foundation that would hold you up
You and I can't deny, that we going to the top cause
Ch:
No doubt about it
My love for you is proud and
Ima be the one for you
Got me singing like what? Uh oh ooh oh
Whenever my ladybug comes through
I can give the world to you baby
All the time for you lady
Ain't no games, this love thing is real
Got me singing like what? Uh oh ooh oh
Tell you this is just how i feel
Verse:
I know it feels so right, cause it's backed by truth
We together, no lies could ever tear us apart, from the start
We straight clicked, you talked and I was listening.
Conversations grew til we knew, we weren't different.
No puppy loves, no movie drama queens
Yeah, friendship that turned out to be.
What it is, You and I handle the biz
It's not about my job, or my choice of career and
in it there no fear, cause I know you keep it real.
Clued up, young lady, kicking back and chill.
I will make sure that I provide for ya
a clean lifestyle, to walk by my side and uh
the race against time, the mountains we can climb
to tell the world I am yours, and you are mine
I back up what I speak, and what I talk ain't cheap
sown in my heart, so it's my love that you reap, what.
Bridge:
I know what I want,
and baby girl I know what you need
and thats for
Me and you (x2)
Chillax and unwind, baby be mine
If this is love, take a risk
you don't wanna look back, regret on what you missed
Me and you (x2)
Don't worry about it baby, cause this the real thing.
Chorus (x2)

Bio
"I knew I wanted to be an entertainer from as far as I can remember. I sang, rapped and danced for anyone, at anytime, anywhere."
As a fan of artists such as Michael Jackson, Daft Punk and Naughty By Nature it's no wonder GiantKilla otherwise known as 'GK' encompasses an incredible whitty, vocal swag and smooth dance style.
GiantKilla comes from a musical family. "It all comes from impersonating Michael Jackson and 13 year old hip hopper's Kris Kross" he cheerfully explains. "I did up little shows in my house for my family & friends. My mum's quite fashionable, so she would buy my outfits, covering me from head to toe."
Secondary school proved instructive in as much as it gave GiantKilla an outlet to "meet other performing arts type of kids" introducing him to drama, where he secured main character roles in annual school productions. At the same time he had a 2 year stint in a hip hop dance group "Phusion" (winners of NZ's Flare national dance competition in 2006) which broadened his dancing experience.
After being spotted at a local youth development program, 12 year old GiantKilla and other youth from that program formed a hip hop group "Crossbreed". The youngsters were given an opportunity to travel to US in 2007 performing at various places (schools, halls, centres) in Los Angeles. "Although that crew didn't go further, I was all the more determined to succeed, even if it meant going solo."
Since then GiantKilla hasn't skipped a beat. From winning the 2012 Most Promising Artist at the NZ Pacific Music Awards, releasing his debut self-titled album later that same year which reached #16 in the NZ album charts to performing in Australia, Western Samoa and Rarotonga.GK made Los Angeles his temporary home in November 2014 so he could work on new music with producers from A$AP Rocky’s collective A$AP Mob & RCA Records. After returning to New Zealand to continue finishing up his sophomore project in 2015.
GiantKilla was credited as a Producer & Actor in the New Zealand Musical “Groove City” - an independant movie that won the People’s Choice Award at the 2015 Pacific Film Festival, Sydney. While the film had an 8 week cinema run in New Zealand and Australia cinemas, GK joined with artists Mikey Mayz, BKidd on a 6-city New Zealand music our. This which included appearances on Tagata Pasifika. While releasing “The Way I’m Living” single online.
After the tour GiantKilla released singles and videos “Down Low” and "Hold U Up" which was distributed through Warner Music. Then in July 2017 he released his sophomore album “GK23” which featured artists SCRIBE, Awa and Sky High (from The Immigrantz). At the end of that same year in December, GiantKilla joined his labelmates 3BChill, SIAVANI and released compilation mixtape “GK & The GrooveHouse”. A year later GiantKilla appeared on several tracks on SIAVANI produced compilation album, "Weed & Cheesecake".
The following year in June GiantKilla was invited to perform at the Official Oregon Hempfest and followed up with a 2-month tour of California, USA.
In March this year (2020) GK released lead single “Lying Is A Habit” feat. Lively from his soon-to-be-released EP. The following month, GiantKilla began hosting an online music show. Fifteen episodes later the online series “The Mixer” - an interactive music web series showcasing music in New Zealand is currently screening their second season.
