My World
Kid Cudi Lyrics

Hello, yeah
The song begins with Kid Cudi greeting his audience

Little homie, in the room
Kid Cudi refers to himself, feeling like an overlooked and insignificant youngster

In, in the room, boy on the moon
Kid Cudi's feeling of aloofness and loneliness and hence unapproachability by anyone else

(Had-had no one) No one to hang out with
Kid Cudi reiterates how isolated he had become while growing up

Talk that shit to just my little homies
Kid Cudi had only a few close and comforting people to share his feelings and aspirations with

One year younger din' get where I was going
Kid Cudi felt misunderstood and disconnected with people younger than him

Took a turn to the worse when my father left me lonely
Kid Cudi's situation worsened when he was abandoned by his father, who he relied upon for emotional support

Mmm, lonely in my room
Kid Cudi emphasizes his loneliness and depression

I, I mean me up on the moon
Kid Cudi felt like he was so far away from everybody else, like a person stranded on the moon and nobody can reach him.

Entertained myself, laughed at myself
Kid Cudi had to resort to keeping himself entertained and satisfied with his own company.

As I grew to be a teen I disguised myself
Kid Cudi tried to change himself so that he would fit in and seem 'normal'

Had the lowest self-esteem, especially with the girls
Kid Cudi felt inferior and lacked confidence around girls

Tried out every sport just to impress all the girls
Kid Cudi tried to impress the girls by playing an array of sports

Instead of all the ladies, 'cause they talk down
Kid Cudi found that some ladies were more critical and self-righteous than men

I was too artsy, known to be a clown
Kid Cudi's experiences have led him to feel like an outsider to everyone else, being too different or peculiar to others.

And now my Facebook poppin'
Kid Cudi turning the focus onto the present and how life has turned out for him now

'Cause I told the same girls I would be the hot shit
Kid Cudi had to convince the same woman he tried to impress back in the day that he can make it in this industry.

One day
Kid Cudi remained ambitious and hopeful of overcoming his problems and eventually succeeding in music.

Big homie, made the move
Kid Cudi now refers to himself as his own big homie, who he developed to become when he moved away to make his dream of becoming a successful musician a reality.

Made, made the move, flew off the moon
Kid Cudi has made a leap towards achieving his goal and escaping from the sense of isolation and loneliness.

Still had-had no one, no one to hang out with
Kid Cudi still feels like he doesn't have anyone truly close to him after moving to pursue his dreams.

Talk that shit to just my Brooklyn niggas
Kid Cudi only has his friends in Brooklyn to confide in and express his struggles to.

All I would wonder is when will my time come
Kid Cudi was hoping for success and recognition for a long time, wondering when his big break will come.

Had mad jobs and I lost damn near all of them
Kid Cudi has worked a series of tumultuous jobs, struggling to make ends meet but none of which seemed to be fulfilling him.

Think about my bosses, yep I hated all of them
Kid Cudi felt resentment towards his bosses and the work they made him do.

Studio at night had me hustlin' to most of them
Kid Cudi had to balance late night studio sessions with working in order to make a living.

Nigga I was late, damn near every day
Kid Cudi struggled to be punctual and make it to work on time.

But I'mma be on time when my stars align
Kid Cudi promises that he will be on time and better in every way once he finds success.

When my soul was happy on my Ramen diet
Kid Cudi recounts a time when he was happy living a simple and modest lifestyle while pursuing music, having humble beginnings with few resources.

Followed by a loosey was the meal of grinders
Kid Cudi remembers his meals consisting of ramen noodles along with a cigarette, feeling like he has made his way up from hardship.

If you knowin' the truth all you think about is that thing
Kid Cudi points out that people are more likely to focus on things that happen in one’s personal life rather than their achievements.

Always be a hater tryin' to shoot down any dreams
Kid Cudi has faced many critics and naysayers when it comes to pursuing his dream

Until you meet a kid like K-I
Kid Cudi is trying to show that he is a different breed of artist, unlike the ones that came before him.

Niggas thought I was crazy, my mama know I stay high
Kid Cudi references the initial resistance he met and the fact that his mother had become used to this behavior.

We're getting money, mom
Kid Cudi reassures his mother that he is now succeeding and making money from his music, referencing her earlier concerns.

I was heavy-heavy-heavy on my grizzle
Kid Cudi was obsessed with succeeding in music and worked tirelessly to hone his craft, without compromising his creativity.

And none of y'all had a clue about me
Kid Cudi had to work hard to prove his worth and talent to the people who doubted him.

Now, guess what? I'm all you see
Kid Cudi has finally gained popularity and fame from his music, and has become a widely recognizable figure.

Yeah-ohh

Yeah-ohh
Kid Cudi repeats the expression of passionate excitement.
