Kid Cudi
The Prayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I'm thinking God made me special here on purpose
So all the while 'til I'm gone make my words important so
If I slip away, if I die today the last thing you remember won't
Be about some apple bottom jeans with the boots with the fur,
Baby how I dream of being free since my birth
Cursed but the demons I confronted would disperse,
Have you ever heard of some shit so real?
And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
But please don't cry, just know that I have made these songs for you
And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
Cause I'm ready for the funeral
My mind runs I can never catch it even if I got a head start
God please tell me I am feeling so alone way
I don't need to worry cause I know the world'll feel this nigga
Blessing in disguise but I am not hiding who I am open your eyes brah
If I ever met you, I appreciate the love yo
Girls that I dated, it's ok I am not mad yo
Unless you stabbed me in the heart, no love ho.
this shit is so ill,
Play it back from the top if you recognize real
And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
But please don't cry, just know that I have made these songs for you
And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
Cause I'm ready for the funeral (I'm ready for the funeral, I'm ready for the funeral)
(I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it)
In "The Prayer," Kid Cudi opens up about his inner turmoil and acknowledges his own mortality. He starts by reflecting on his sense of purpose, pondering whether he was created "special" for a reason. He then confesses his fear of slipping away or dying before his time is up. Cudi decides to use his music to make a lasting impact and be remembered for something greater than material possessions like apple bottom jeans with the boots with the fur. The artist takes a moment to reflect on the raw emotion and truth in his lyrics, expressing that it's so real that it can be felt from the heart and soul.
The chorus of the song is a reference to a common Christian bedtime prayer. However, Kid Cudi adds his own twist to it, with a plea to God to take his soul in case he passes away. The artist acknowledges that his music is his legacy and the last thing he wants his fans to remember him by. In the second verse, Kid Cudi speaks on his struggles with mental illness, and his feeling of being isolated from the world. He also expresses his hope that his music can connect with people who are feeling the same way. He then reaches out to his fans and ex-girlfriends, thanking them for their support and leaving no bitterness towards those who may have hurt him. Kid Cudi concludes the song ready for his final send-off or funeral.
