Kid Cudi
Ra-Grim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
New chain
New bitch
Give brain
New kicks
Lu Kane
Move bricks
Switch lanes
Fuck hoes
Drive fast
Sip slow
In reality
We still ain't happy though
So stressed
We depressed
Obsessed with the flex
Bought a Rollie
Proper name Rolex
And I went and buss it down
And now it's worth less
Got beef with IRS
Wanna take half my check
Im in debt
Nervous for the day
Uncle Sam collect
Tell my baby girl sorry
Had to get the Ferrari
Drive off to a party
Get head from my lil shawty
Louis Gucci Fendi Prada
I'll spend my last dollar
Gotta look extra dappa
Even though I got nada
I ain't happy
I ain't rich
But I look lit
We ain't happy
We ain't rich
But we look lit
The lyrics in Ra-Grim's song Kid Cudi depict the current state of being young and successful, but still feeling unsatisfied with life. The first verse is an expression of a life of luxury - flashing expensive cars, jewelry, shoes, romantic affairs, drug use, and the hustle game type of lifestyle. However, despite all the material possessions and experiences, the tone of the chorus is melancholic with the line, “In reality, we still ain't happy though.”
The second verse speaks about the pressures of keeping up appearances and maintaining a facade of ultimate contentment when the reality is quite the opposite. The artist has exchanged his hard-earned money for a Rolls Royce car, which was then transformed into performing even worse than before treatment. Further, the IRS is after him, and he is worried about his future and paying his debts. The verse ends on a poignant note, with Ra-Grim expressing regret to his daughter for not being present and apologizing, while he indulges himself in the glitz and glamour of his lifestyle.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a community that has it all- wealth, status, and power- but still struggles with their inner demons.
