The hook is a chopped and screwed clip from Big L’s hit track “Put It On”, a favorite of Davideo’s. This is where the track earns it’s title, even though “wildchild” is never once said throughout the entire song, not even in the sample.

Davideo begins the track by telling the audience to listen, as though they were on the phone with him. He then prefaces the following half of the couplet by saying that “this the plan”, another cell phone reference in that in order to use a cellular phone you need to have a plan with a service provider. In this case, the service is hip-hop and the provider is Davideo.

Continuing with the cell phone references, Davideo uses “I phone” as a homophone for “iPhone”. Afterwords, proceeding to mention the popular iPhone app Instagram, Davideo puts this into a different context by alluding to getting a gram of marijuana quickly, aka Insta-gram.

Continuing from the previous line, Davideo says that his future is as opaque (non-transparent, hard to read) as his personality at times. He also makes another childhood reference, this time to a nursery rhyme, essentially stating that most music nowadays is as simple and pointless as a rhyme like “Peter Piper picked a patch of pickled peppers” and this audience needs to pick up the pace of their minds, so to speak.

Davideo states here that he doesn’t feel that he’ll even be able to get his point across to most of the audience this track is directed towards (the fans of ignorant mainstream hits).

Again making a reference to elementary school and young kids, Davideo uses the common phrase “H-E-double hockey sticks” not only to say “hell” in a childish way but also to include the letter “H” into the track.

Continuing from the previous line, a large portion of record sales, especially in rap/hip-hop, go to young adolescent kids. A lot of these kids hear about rappers or celebrities having weapons, whether through their music or through the media, and think that it’s a cool thing when it’s really a very serious and adult matter.

Davideo is stating that the demographic most mainstream music is directed towards should take the time to further educate themselves.

Davideo states here that life as a rapper is very fast paced, and due to this it can become difficult to avoid indulging in overly negative behaviors. He uses the phrase “bad taste” to bring up the fact that he never speaks badly about others or “talks shit” about them, making an observation simply about the unsavory taste that literally talking shit would leave in your mouth.

Davideo states here that he has the courage of his convictions, and supports the marijuana legalization movement.
