Broken - Bad Religion e a expressão kinda'

There's a song by an American band (should I use "band" wen I talk about rock n' roll?) called Bad Religion where theres a expression I already knew, but I wanna know why they used this way: kinda', is it the same of "the kind of" ?
I think just native speakers have the fluency to write this way. Am I right about this?

She was only a dream
How's that?
He didn't know a thing about
Makin' love to the kinda' girl you read about

Thanks a lot people.
Its my second time here, in (on?) this site!
