[Verse 1: Kid Cudi]

Wow, this career is so so commercial

I would say no

More after school special

Another story about an unruly teen

Become a triumphant

More than what it seemed

All of the glorious things that he dreamed

Made the life that he saw seem so sub par

A star that was shooting didn’t seem too far

All he needed was some rockets on the side of a car

Maybe a little weed to intensify the scene

To provide a solid answer to the question “why I lean?"

A bonafide fiend that be taking by the beams of light

Man on the moon ain’t a name it’s a way of life

And this is why I got hated

Until I found myself and embraced it

Its something I denied

Why lie to my soul

Truth be told…


[Hook]

Oh no, I thought my mind was capped

Until I open my eyes

And see what finally happened for me

I know you made me different for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)

I know you put me through it for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)

Oh no, these niggas thought I was capped

Until they open their eyes

And see what finally happen for me

I know you made me different for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)

I know you put me through it for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)


[Verse 2: Kid Cudi]

I’m just a dreamer

Turned true to life leaner

Born to do good

So others can be believers

Once had a lover, but I had to leave her

My life is much bigger

The plan I mean

Its all set in motion, the plan I’ve seen

Couldn’t figure out my purpose till the sky changed scenes

While them other niggas ride watching screens

I was getting off of work daydreaming all alone

Daydream till I’m home

In my bed in my zone

Nobody would call

Not a ring on my phone

Raps so boring

I can’t buy ringtones

I’d rather have the Nokia alert

I’m so gone

Man I’m never alert

But I feel so good

No more hurt

I’m whole completely complete

Rainy days completely delete

I see…


[Hook]

Oh no, I thought my mind was capped

Until I open my eyes

And see what finally happened for me

I know you made me different for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)

I know you put me through it for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)

Oh no, these niggas thought I was capped

Until they open their eyes

And see what finally happen for me

I know you made me different for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)

I know you put me through it for a reason god

I think I know why (Why)
