(Yea, yea, cle-cleveland style!) [Verse 1: Kid Cudi] 84 Kid Mesc was born On my own since they cut the umbilical cord When I was born, witness to divorce and scorn Ever since that happened, I was daily torn Didn't understand nothing but I'm happy Instead of being cool, my family kept on snapping Cool out shit 12 a nigga was rapping My father died, the pain is still Look in the mirror man, I see real Touch my reflection, feels what I feel The letter is written: stamped and sealed Intoxicated, spill for spill And I ain't never seen a gang making deals for deals Cover my mind and witness why There's the time in the world and no time to die [Hook] I ain't trying to upset nobody I'm just trying to be me Everywhere I go man, people like "he's still rapping? Yeah that's right man, you still gun clapping? I'm on to bigger positive things Trying to live out a dream I'm the MVP, look at my ring What y'all know about the street games, you're just Dreaming em up. Not trying to make a come-up Going to sleep at night praying to god Wishing that you had that bad bitch in your arm I'm that kid tryna make things happen Up in the club, watching gangstas clapping And I'm that kid that be steady rapping in the booth Throw out my demo and that's a Hot 97 proof And you don't wanna sign me, fuck are y'all on? I go next to the next dude that wanna put me on And that's real, cause I'm only me The K-I-D, not trying to become the next OG [Hook] Relax daily [-] Ya know what I mean, less acting More me and me, less them In the pool of magical ones, I will not swim Not on the hottest day or the warmest night I'm free like a bird nigga, I should take flight Plain nigga, the one less hoes like Even if I had jewels that could dim light Off they would never look, rather read a book Know I'm semi-wrong, got 'em shook Now they know Scott, and they know I plot Don't trust hoes, they just wonder not Till I abuse it, baby I love music, not Really ain't no question, just lessons At confessions, never false preaching Real recognize through deception and lies So, keep it music, baby keep it going steady It won't be long, my niggas, till everybody witness [Hook]
