“The Critic” is a country song by Toby Keith. It was released in 2003 as the second single from his album Shock’n Y’all. The song is a tongue-in-cheek response to music critics, who Keith often feels are too negative and critical of his music.
The song begins with Keith singing about how he doesn’t care what the critics think of his music. He says that he’s just going to keep on making the music that he loves, and that the critics can “kiss my redneck a**.”
In the chorus, Keith sings:
“I don’t give a damn what the critics say I’m gonna keep on making my music anyway So if you don’t like it, you can kiss my redneck a**”
The song then goes on to list some of the things that Keith’s critics have said about his music. They’ve said that it’s too twangy, that it’s not country enough, and that it’s just plain bad. But Keith doesn’t care what they say. He’s just going to keep on making the music that he loves.
The song ends with Keith singing:
“So if you don’t like my music, that’s your problem I’m not gonna change a thing I’m just gonna keep on being me”
“The Critic” is a fun and upbeat song that is sure to put a smile on your face. It’s a great song for anyone who has ever been criticized for their work or their choices. It’s a reminder that you shouldn’t let anyone tell you who you are or what you should do. Just be yourself and do what you love.
