King Wizard
KiD CuDi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't decide
What if life's a lie?
I push the lames aside
They'll learn
I can't ever front, know why?
It's not my style, no lie
Fuck all the talk
In time, they'll burn
I can't decide
What if life's a lie?
I push the lames aside
They'll learn
I can't ever front, know why?
Its not my style, no lie
They'll never take me alive
King Wizard

You love that little bit of new, now throwback
Cleveland City snakeskin snapback
Niggas know that uniform, keep the brim low
You doubt him, don't know a damn thing about him
What is hip hop without him, y'all niggas really just don't know
Go, All day every day, hold on with all might
I gave the world my heart and they gave the kids insight
Yup now fuck you I ain't left
I'm outta my mind like all the time
And a nigga ain't missed one step yet, yep

I can't decide
What if life's a lie?
I push the lames aside
They'll learn
I can't ever front, know why?
It's not my style, no lie
Fuck all the talk
In time, they'll burn
I can't decide
What if life's a lie?
I push the lames aside
They'll learn
I can't ever front, know why?
Its not my style, no lie
They'll never take me alive
King Wizard

My head hurt, gotta give me something that'll make me feel good
I remember couldn't tell a nigga nothing, man I wish you would
Niggas ain't working, like me I had to put my bit in
All this rose gold I'm dipped in dressed in ? while I coast in clouds
That's my life babe, crystal clear, no cascade
I'm going, going I'm on a crusade
To save the kids from the weak shit
It's finally my world
Here all the girls can be my girl
Just sit back count stacks girl
Hold a nigga down all the time girl

I can't decide
What if life's a lie?
I push the lames aside
They'll learn
I can't ever front, know why?
It's not my style, no lie
Fuck all the talk
In time, they'll burn
I can't decide
What if life's a lie?
I push the lames aside
They'll learn
I can't ever front, know why?
Its not my style, no lie




They'll never take me alive
King Wizard

He then reassures himself that they will never take him alive, emphasizing his individuality and self-assurance.


The lyrics of "King Wizard" are very introspective and give listeners a glimpse into Kid Cudi's mindset. The repetition of "I can't decide" reinforces the theme of uncertainty and confusion.

@jonvthvnx5729

+MrGiftedPotato he produces, writes lyrics, plays guitar , raps and sings and it comes together all perfectly. Also he's been doing it for years I think he deserves the right to be called a musical genius.
