The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady
Eminem Kid Cudi Lyrics

Yup (aww)
Affirmation of agreement with a touch of disappointment

Yup (mmh-aww)
Reiteration of agreement with a slightly longer disappointment

Uh-huh
Confirmation and acknowledgement

Yeah, nigga
Positive assertion with cultural emphasis

Yeah, it's been a minute, but I'm back in it (uh)
Acknowledgment of absence, but now returning with enthusiasm and determination

Y'all ain't dealing with the same boy (no)
Recognizing a change and asserting that the current self is different from the past

Got a little trippy, then I transitioned (yeah)
Undergoing a psychedelic experience and transforming into something new

New attitude mixed with that pure raw (uh)
Positive mindset combined with authentic and unfiltered expression

The night game, your girl called
Engaging in nightlife activities, receiving attention from someone's romantic partner

She like, "Do me, baby, down to get busy, busy?" (Yes)
Someone expressing sexual interest and willingness to engage in intimate activities

No dice, chill, whoadie (no)
Rejecting the proposal, staying calm and maintaining composure

In life, feeling dizzy
Experiencing confusion or disorientation in daily life

Oh, having visions of the city and I go to war
Imagining future success and preparing for challenges ahead

See me in the day through the late night (night)
Visible and active from day to night, consistently present

Tell 'em it's the charm, I'm in freeze mode
The charisma is captivating, immovable and unshakeable

To the gods, can't stop a hero when he in flight (flight)
Acknowledging divine influence, invincible while pursuing greatness

I'm swimming in the light right
Basking and thriving in success and positive energy

Go and get you some, go and show 'em something, this a new thang
Encouragement to pursue success and impress others with unique abilities

Yeah, I let my nuts hang (yeah)
Asserting dominance and confidence

Knock your top off with LeBron or Dwyane Wade (yeah)
Overwhelming and defeating opponents like basketball stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade

Aww, lift off
Expression of excitement and anticipation for a significant event

Can't stunt a nigga growth, better get gone, move along (uh)
No one can hinder personal progress, encouraging others to leave

You don't wanna trip, wanna get it on (uh)
Advising against conflict, suggesting a desire for peaceful resolution

You don't wanna act, don't get me wrong (nah)
Avoiding unnecessary confrontation, clarifying intentions

They don't listen to the words in the song (uh-huh)
People fail to grasp the meaning behind the lyrics

We ain't gotta tell 'em, we just getting ready (yeah)
No need to explain, we are preparing ourselves

See 'em fronting, we ain't kidding
Observing others pretending or being insincere

If you want it, you can get it
Opportunities are available for those who seek them

Members of the rage, come and get you some
Invitation to join a passionate and energetic group

Next step's out the jet from the lean back (ow)
Progressing to the next level, departing with style and confidence

Running 'round the world and we ain't packed
Traveling extensively without restrictions or limitations

Hit 'em, vroom, vroom, leave 'em stuck, oh, you seen that? (ow)
Overwhelming and leaving others in awe with swift actions

I'm chillin' where the team at
Relaxing and enjoying the company of like-minded individuals

See a black Benz pull up with some jawns, yeah, I need that
Desiring luxury and attractive companions in a black car

So crazy, can't believe it
Expressing astonishment and disbelief

No cams, damn, no filming at all, real nigga facts (come on)
Living an authentic life without constant surveillance

Years ago, rehab
Recalling a period of rehabilitation in the past

All good, helped me figure out another plan
Recovering and devising an alternative strategy

It got bad, so bad
Describing a period of extreme adversity

Nah, I ain't fucking love that, man
Rejecting and expressing dissatisfaction with that experience

Then I hopped out in a new zone with my Louis bag
Embracing a new environment and displaying luxury with a designer bag

True story, take you through the dark and the light (yeah)
Narrating a genuine journey encompassing struggles and success

Godson, got through new
Recognizing divine guidance and overcoming challenges

Back up in the world, it's the day in the life (Cud)
Returning to everyday life, experiencing a typical day

Hit the blunt and get it (dude)
Smoke marijuana and achieve a desired state

Raised bars (uh), same song, we did it (yeah)
Setting higher standards, still achieving success with familiar methods

Hot sauce, pour it on all jams, explicit
Adding intense and explicit elements to all tracks, spicing things up

Carry on, smoke strong, got your mama down with it (come on)
Continuing without hesitation, confidently enjoying marijuana regardless of others' opinions

And the game fuckin' needed something dirty raw
The music industry required something edgy and unrefined

Tell them this the law and we weeded, uh (yeah)
Informing others that this is the standard, and it's associated with marijuana

So if it's God you believe in (yeah)
If you have faith in a higher power

Bob your head and just nod in agreement (yeah)
Move your head up and down to signify agreement

They say time's undefeated
Acknowledging the unstoppable nature of time

I'ma be the first one who can beat it (yeah)
Claiming that one will conquer time, possibly referring to leaving a lasting legacy

I had hoop dreams (yup), now I shoot threes (what?)
Initially aspiring to play professional basketball, now excelling at shooting three-pointers

Got a lil' green (yeah), but I don't do weed (nope)
Having some money, yet not using it to buy marijuana

Purp nor lean (nah), that's Tunechi (yeah)
Not consuming purple drank or lean, as that's rapper Lil Wayne's preference

That's New Orleans (what?), Fuck Drew Brees (yeah)

Snoop D-O-double (uh), that's two G's (yup)
Referencing rapper Snoop Dogg, whose name contains two 'G's

I probably spent on paper, ooh-wee
Likely spent a significant amount on marijuana

Since Tuesday, probably killed a few trees (yeah)
From Tuesday until now, consumed a considerable amount of marijuana

But the only ones I smoke are the loose leaf
Referring to smoking pure marijuana without any additives or fillers

Not high, but I'm your highness (what?)
Claiming a regal status without being under the influence

And secretly, you're my dick (ha)
Privately, others are subservient or inferior

But you haters are butthurt (ow), bunch of sore hind-ends (ow)
Haters are upset and bothered, displaying discomfort

I was just a poor white kid (yeah)
Acknowledging humble beginnings as a white person

Now if rap was B-ball, I'd be Jordan-like, bitch (what?)
Making a comparison between rap and basketball, asserting superiority and excellence

You wish you could score like this (nah), yeah
Others desire to achieve similar success

Not even at half court, I'd miss (nah)
Confidently stating that even from a distance, there would be no failure

I'm mouthwash, 'cause if I was on the floor, I'd swish (fluoride, fluoride, swish)
Comparing oneself to mouthwash, claiming that every shot would be successful

But I cannot lie (nah) I got you in my top five
Being honest about admiring someone and considering them among the best

Worst rappers of all time (ha, ha)
Mocking others by suggesting they are among the worst in their field

I lost my spot, y'all got Alzheim' (uh)
Admitting to losing a prominent position while using wordplay with Alzheimer's disease

King of rap? Nah, their words, not mine (yeah)

A toll-free number (yeah), only way you'll ever have a hot line
Insinuating that the only way others will be successful is by using a phone service

Fuck's going on, man? (Yeah)
Expressing confusion and frustration

Bunch of half-wits up in office (what?)
Referring to politicians as unintelligent or foolish individuals

Half of us walking around like a zombie apocalypse
Half of the population behaving as if in a post-apocalyptic world

Other half are just pissed off and (yeah)
Remaining half displaying anger and frustration

Don't wanna wear a mask and they're just scoffing
Refusing to wear a mask and displaying contempt or ridicule

And that's how you end up catching the shit off 'em
Resulting in contracting a contagious disease from them

I just used the same basket as you shopping
Using the same shopping basket as someone, potentially exposing oneself to illness

Now I'm in a fuckin' casket from you coughin' (damn)
Exaggerating the consequences of someone's coughing, suggesting it caused death

Always stay ahead of haters, let 'em hate
Advising to stay ahead of those who dislike or envy, allowing them to continue

But never let a traitor penetrate your circle
Avoiding betrayers and keeping them away from one's trusted group

Separate yourself from those who try to pull you down
Distancing oneself from individuals who attempt to hinder progress

The real ones never stray, it's sort of like Medusa (yeah)
Genuine individuals stay true, similar to the mythical creature Medusa

That's how you stay ahead of snakes (woo)
This approach helps one remain superior to deceitful or treacherous individuals

Emcees pull out gats, I don't give a fuck how strapped
Rappers boast about carrying guns, but it does not concern me

You're gonna out-rap me? I doubt that
Challenging others to surpass one's rapping skills, expressing doubt

Please, bitch, I'm a house rat
Asserting dominance and superiority, comparing oneself to a resilient rat

These raps are 'bout that cheese like mousetraps
Highlighting the focus of the lyrics on money, comparing it to catching mice

Earthlings, I adapt to 'em
Adjusting and fitting in with ordinary people

Certain things, I don't want to do, but have to in
Necessity sometimes requires engaging in undesirable activities

Order to just act human
Performing actions in a manner consistent with human behavior

Like using a bathroom and vacuuming (yeah)
Mentioning everyday tasks to exemplify common human actions

Rapping in the booth in a triple fat goose hazmat suit
Metaphorically depicting the intense and protective state while rapping

Bubble wrap and a mask too and
Further illustrating a shielded and guarded state during creative expression

I don't think that's what they meant by trap music (nah)
Rejecting the notion that this form of music is intended to be trapped or confined

Running through ink like I'm tattooing (yeah)
Using large amounts of ink while writing lyrics, similar to inflicting tattoos

This is music to be murdered by, you love
Explaining that the songs have violent themes that fans enjoy

Turn the volume up, I am fired up like a blunt
Encouraging listeners to increase the volume to fully experience the intense energy

Bread is long like an Italian sub, I am drugs
Having abundant wealth, comparing it to a large sandwich and claiming to be intoxicating

That is probably why your opinion of me's high as fuck
Attributing the positive perception of oneself to wealth and influence

And it's nonstop fury (yeah)
Referring to the intense and relentless nature of their music

'Cause I ain't holding 'em up like an armed robbery (nah)

Your goddamn knee's on my carotid artery (fuck)
Describing the method of restraint used by the police officer, emphasizing the danger
