Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a room crazy, sexy, cool
Intellectually sexy, her body is sick, her face is dope
Somethin like a eye candy photo
Hope to God the broad ain't a hoe though
The way she walks is in slow-mo
Yep, ma mind got Tee-Vo
Every punk trunk around plotting and scheming, wishing and dreaming
Yellow thong wit a tail like damn smile at me so I smile right back
She move so effortless complimentin her looks I be commentin up in her book
You can be ma super boo ooo oooo
You can be ma super boo I need you
To come and chill wit me c'mon

Mad views on her myspace s**t
Just stoppin by, showing her love, whiel she sits.
And all her friends are hot but not like her she the number one spot
All I wanna do is reali introduce scott let her know ma dreams and struggles to the top
Show her that it feels good in a drop top rollin down sunset niggas can't stop
I can tell that she reali got her mind right let me make that move when the time's right
Hope she don't mind a little limelight you can't go wrong let's get right
And we gon let them other niggas stomp it out next step ye we gon talk it out

CHORUS
(Lalalalalalalala)

Layin on top me enjoying your company
Am runnin out of issue (cant understand) when I kiss you
CHORUS
The song "Super Boo" by Kid Cudi tells a story of a man who is mesmerized by a woman and desires to have her as his 'super boo.' The verse describes her as being incredibly attractive and having a stunning personality. The singer illustrates how she walks in slow-motion, completely engrossing him. The singer also notes how men around her are trying to get her attention, but he feels that he has a connection with her. He believes that she is different and that her intellect and character set her apart from anyone else. The chorus then repeatedly echoes the sentiment that he wants to be with her – that she can 'be his super boo.'
The next verse then mentions how this woman's popularity is evident on social media and how the singer desires to meet and talk to her, get to know her beyond the surface level. He wants to introduce himself to her and share his dreams and aspirations in life. He believes that he could be the right person for her, and if she takes his hand, they could go on many meaningful journeys together. The chorus is repeated again, and the bridge represents a plea from the singer imploring the woman to take his hand and come back to him.
Overall, the song has a simple premise, with Kid Cudi using a catchy hook, hums, and rhythm to attract his listeners. He highlights the simple story of a woman's captivating appeal, making the song easy to understand and relatable. Potentially, the song represents the start of a romantic relationship, but more significantly, it portrays the feelings of a man and his desire for a special lady.

I've been listening to Cudi since '07 and I'm now older, a husband, a father, finished school, and way beyond all those old problems that use to have me bogged down in life. I'm thankful for Cudi and all the effort he's put forth in making timeless music. The same thing I was made to feel back in 07 listening to this song, is the same thing I'm feeling RIGHT NOW in 2023. Cudi is truly one of a kind.
