Intro:
Give me that camera I’m filming
Give me that camera I’m filming
Give me that camera I’m filming
Give me that camera I’m
Camera Rolling
Verse 1:
Saw that new camera, made up my mind
Saved up my money, I been on my grind
checking the price and I’m looking to buy
Checked the reviews, five out of five
Bought a new camera, now I’m on go
I’m making movies, I film like pro
My camera fast and your camera slow
My camera rolling and your camera froze
Saw that new lens, I think might cop
Aperture open, I love the F stop
It’s kind of heavy, keeping it steady
Image so clean, no edits, it’s ready
I can’t stop filming, making this cash
Bought a new camera, and a new flash
Shootin' with twins, riggin' them up
Snapping these angles, I can’t get enough
Hook:
I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god
met her on the scene said oh my god
Camera of my dreams like oh my god
I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god
met her on the scene said oh my god
Camera of my dreams like oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god
Verse 2:
I took the shot, I can not miss
Focus on point, aim at your chick
Camera like candy, I took a lick
I made a lick, I made a hit, I edit the pic
Brush up the zit, finished that’s it
Don’t play with the kid, bought a new kit
I never quit, camera legit
I been filming a lot since I was git
Shoot on my phone
If you not with the team leave me alone
My snappers they loyal, because I put em’ on
Riding the high, look at my drone
I’m setting the tone, my crew they hungry
I threw em’ a bone, call it a loan
Some of them young, most of them grown
Now I’m on the scene, don’t park in my spot
Who moved my cone
Watch how I grind, watch how I shine
Snapping these angles two at a time
Recording in progress, so please read the sign
Filming for free, you didn’t pay me a dime
Don’t talk to me now, it’s a lot of my mind
I built a mountain that you have to climb
Hook:
I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god
met her on the scene said oh my god
Camera of my dreams like oh my god
I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god
met her on the scene said oh my god
Camera of my dreams like oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god
Verse 3:
Swinging that camera, my focus is sharp
Shooting my shot, playing my part
Painting with light, this my art
Camera emotions, don’t play with my heart
Shoot in 4K, it’s a new era
My settings good, you getting errors
Storage is scary, biting like terror
Rotate the screen and flip it like mirrors
I’m about to snap, turn on the light
Balance the colors, black and the white
Load up the LUT, colors are clean
Frame up the shot, stare at that screen
Pull out that camera, go make a scene
So many features, see what I mean
Bought a new camera, and some new gear
I leveled up, this is my year
Hook:
I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god
met her on the scene said oh my god
Camera of my dreams like oh my god
I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god
met her on the scene said oh my god
Camera of my dreams like oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god
Introduction
“OMG” isn’t a turn-up record — it’s a creative flow state.
This song lives in that space where focus, gratitude, and momentum meet. It’s about the quiet excitement that comes from finally getting the gear you worked for, trusting your eye, and staying committed to the process even when nobody’s watching.
In this lyrics breakdown, I want to walk you through how “OMG” reflects my relationship with filmmaking, growth, and staying locked in on the vision — without ego, without rushing, just consistent forward motion.
The Energy of “OMG”
At its core, “OMG” is a vibe record.
It’s meant to feel calm, confident, and immersive — something you play while driving to a shoot, setting up gear, or editing late at night. There’s excitement here, but it’s controlled. Purposeful.
This song captures that moment when you realize:
You’ve put in the work
You’ve invested in yourself
And now it’s time to move with intention
In Verse 1, Imani reflects on investing in new gear, trusting his instincts, and committing to growth as a filmmaker through preparation and consistency.
Verse 1 — Investing in the Vision
“Saw that new camera, made up my mind
Saved up my money, I been on my grind”
This verse is about commitment.
Buying new gear isn’t about flexing — it’s about believing enough in yourself to reinvest in your craft. Checking reviews, saving money, doing the research — all of that represents patience and discipline.
When I say:
“My camera rolling and your camera froze”
It’s not shade. It’s perspective.
Some people are still stuck in hesitation or doubt. Others are moving forward, learning as they go. Everyone has their own timeline — this verse just acknowledges momentum.
Imani Lenz breaks down the hook of “OMG,” capturing the excitement, joy, and disbelief that comes with leveling up as a creator and falling in love with the filmmaking process.
The Hook — Staying in Motion
“I’ma keep filming like oh my god
Camera keep rolling like oh my god”
The hook is simple on purpose.
It’s about consistency.
No matter what’s happening around you — doubts, distractions, outside noise — the camera keeps rolling. The work continues. The joy stays intact.
“OMG” in this context isn’t shock — it’s appreciation. That quiet gratitude of realizing you’re doing what you love.
Verse 2 explores confidence, focus, and creative flow—highlighting discipline, loyalty, and sharpening skills through repetition and experience.
Verse 2 — Process Over Perfection
“Focus on point, aim at your chick
Camera like candy, I took a lick”
This verse leans into process and playfulness.
Filmmaking is technical, but it’s also intuitive. You frame the shot, trust your instincts, and keep it moving. Not everything needs to be over-edited or over-polished — sometimes it’s about keeping things natural and real.
“I been filming a lot since I was a git”
This line grounds everything. It’s a reminder that this didn’t start overnight. There’s history here — curiosity, trial and error, growth.
Loyalty, Community, and Building Together
“My snappers they loyal, because I put ’em on”
Loyalty doesn’t come from hype — it comes from belief.
When you give people something meaningful to believe in, they show up. Whether that’s through music, visuals, or energy, people connect to authenticity.
This is also where Black Stock Footage shows up in the song — setting a tone, creating opportunity, and building something that’s bigger than just one person.
In Verse 3, Imani frames filmmaking as art—balancing light, color, and emotion while embracing technical mastery and creative intuition.
Verse 3 — Focus and Boundaries
“Recording in progress, so please read the sign”
This section speaks to protecting your focus.
Sometimes you have to put the sign up — literally or metaphorically — and say: not right now. That doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you’re honoring what you’re building.
“I built a mountain that you have to climb”
That mountain represents growth. Standards. Intentionality.
If someone wants to join the journey, they meet you at that level — not by tearing it down, but by rising to it.
Art, Emotion, and Elevation
“Painting with light, this my art
Camera emotions, don’t play with my heart”
This is the soul of the record.
Filmmaking isn’t just technical — it’s emotional. There’s vulnerability in creating. There’s sensitivity in sharing perspective. This verse acknowledges that while still moving forward confidently.
“I leveled up, this is my year”
Not as a boast — as a declaration.
The foundation has been laid. Now it’s time to build.
Final Reflection
“OMG” is a reminder that growth doesn’t always need to be loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet focus.
Sometimes it’s joy in the process.
Sometimes it’s just the camera rolling — and that being enough.
If this song resonated with you, I hope it encourages you to:
Trust your craft
Invest in yourself
Protect your focus
And keep creating, even when it feels slow
Thanks for tapping in and taking this journey with me.
Camera rolling. 🎥
