Kids See Ghosts
Kids See Ghosts Lyrics

Kids see ghosts sometimes
Children sometimes observe supernatural entities

Spirit, moving around, just moving around
Ghosts or spirits can be felt or sensed and move about

Stop that movement, stop that movement
People try to interfere or halt the flow of the supernatural

Y'all can't move me, this my movie
Ghosts are unaffected by human interference; they have their own storyline

Y'all can't stop me, ya'll too sloppy
Humans are not equipped to handle or control ghosts or spirits

Carbon copied, carbon
People are unoriginal, without substance

Same thing, in a room
People follow the same patterns of behavior and thinking, being unable to think creatively

Sittin' by myself, findin' heaven soon
The artist is alone and searching for peace, maybe through death

Many things that will trouble you
There are many problems in life that cause worry and concern

Look beyond for a feelin' like you never knew
Search deeper for experiences and feelings that you have yet to explore

Reachin' out huntin' for the truth
The singer is searching for knowledge or facts that will reveal what they are looking for

I guessin' I'm just sick of runnin'
The artist is tired of chasing after something elusive

All this time searching hard for somethin'
The singer has spent a long time looking for something specific with no luck

I can hear the angels comin'
The singer is hoping for relief or salvation

Well it took me long enough to rap on this strong enough
The singer struggled to write lyrics that are weighty or significant

Paid this shit just gon' give up
They are considering quitting or giving up on the industry

'Cause Ye just gon' live up to everything
The artist acknowledges that Kanye West is a popular and influential figure

That sucks to you and that's never enough
Other people's opinions or expectations of them is irrelevant

Thought I'd be clever enough to give up while I'm ahead
The singer hoped to quit at a high point in their career but was unable to due to their relationship with Kanye West

I like breakfast in bed but I love breakfast and head
The artist prefers eating breakfast food and receiving oral sex

For anybody who said that I was better off dead
The artist is aware that people have wished for their death

Told 'em, "Don't ever 'lieve nothin' that you ever read"
The artist is reminding people not to believe everything that they see in the media

Got a Bible by my bed, oh yes I'm very Christian
The singer is religious

Constantly repentin' 'cause yes I never listen
The artist feels guilty for not following their religious beliefs strictly

Don't like bein' questioned and don't like bein' less than
The singer dislikes being criticized or put down

Any a competition in any of my professions
The singer is competitive in their profession(s)

So I gotta guess then, I gotta stay the best man
The singer has to try their best to be successful and win in their field(s)

What else you expect from, uh, Mr. West man
The artist is acknowledging the influence and success of Kanye West

Painting from Wes Lang, hung in my space like a relative
The artist has a painting from art collaborator Wes Lang hanging in their home

That you ain't seen in a minute, called on the telephone
The painting is reminiscent of someone they haven't seen in a while

And when they see you they say "Damn, you got hella grown
The singer's achievements and growth are impressive to others

Always thought you'd make it but, damn, now you hella known
The artist has achieved a high level of fame and recognition

Let's address some topics that I can embellish on"
The artist wants to discuss certain subjects that they can elaborate or expand on

How we made enough bread for us to put some relish on?
The artist wants to brag about their financial success

I won't relish on the fact vibing on the future
The singer won't dwell on or celebrate their future plans

Ultralight building in the building by Miuccia
The artist has a building designed by fashion designer Miuccia Prada

Herzog and De Meuron in an office out in Basel
The building was designed by Swiss architects Herzog and De Meuron in their office in Basel

Civilization, without society
Civilization can exist without a structured societal system

Power and wealth with nobility
It is possible to possess great power and wealth and still be a noble person

Stability, without stasis
Stability can exist without being stagnant or unchanging

Places and spaces
Various locations and environments

Kids see ghosts, ghosts sometimes
Children can sense or see supernatural entities

And what's a crown for the clouds, movin' around
A king or ruler is nothing compared to supernatural forces that cannot be controlled

Yeah that's the king
The true ruler or power is the supernatural force of ghosts or spirits

And what's a crown to the clouds, movin' around
A crown or ruling power means nothing to supernatural forces
