Kid Cudi has kept his solo release count low in the new year thus far: two to be exact with "The Frequency" and "All In." But each track has seemingly served a greater purpose to what he has planned. Keep in mind, he recently announced he would drop two albums in 2016, one of which is titled Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'. "The Frequency" and "All In" provide a versatility from Cudi that can only breed more creativity, and Friday we get yet another new one from the Cleveland representative in "Goodbye."
The record is produced by WZRD—Cudi and trusted producer Dot da Genius—and features a high-energy vibe and a nasty flip of a Pink Floyd sample that will motivate listeners to get theres by any means necessary. There's also a timely and memorable soundbite from Juice at the top ("I am crazy, but you know what else? I don't give a fuck). It's unclear if "Goodbye"—or "The Frequency" and "All In" for that matter—will land on Cudi's upcoming project, but what's evident is that he's been cooking up heat and spreading out the work with the likes of Dot, Mike Dean, Plain Pat, and Mike WiLL Made-It.
Along with his solo work, Cudi has spent some time in the studio with longtime collaborator Kanye West to craft new music that could likely end up on Turbo Grafx 16, 'Ye's follow-up to The Life of Pablo. Cudi also recently stopped by Pharrell and Scott Vener's OTHERtone show on Beats 1 for an episode that will air soon. On top of that, he's headlining Trillectro this year. A lot to look forward to, but for now, stream and download "Goodbye" below as well as check out the lyrics.
I really want yall to have that real
love you 😌🌹
You knowin' im vicious
Daddy home niggas aint doing the dishes
What is this?
For years I've been feelin' suspicious
Bout certain niggas motives and morals
And such
And like that
I done landed the ship
Parrelled parked in the park in the dark
Dont be concerned if im makin' a grip
Own half of my masters, so muthafuck you bastards
Clones all a fuckin' round
When I step on the scene don't hear a sound
What more could I do?
So much, so much
The Chosen One has said stand up, be proud of you
Now Im here
No fear
Been hearin' all the calls, the chants, the cheers
We're clear
When Im leavin' the show,
You knew I was gon' be back to go yam on these hoes
I hear the madness
I pray I lean towards the light, ya know?
Im just livin'
Tryna stay outta trouble, minding my own
The angels they protect me from the horror in my dome
I don't wanna have to tell you again friend
Please, leave a real nigga alone
Psych ya mind
Who hit'cha?
Thought I would be dead
Yea, I figured
Nah, ill be pullin' the trigger
Until then Im coastin', roastin', leavin you Ghostin'
Now, Check the approach
Finesse
The best
Hittin' reps
Sets
Gains
Call me whatever you like
But remember one thing
Forever no matter what, I reign
We don't care about your money
You corny on and off the cob
A shame
A 1 lame
A cover up, you got no personality
Hide behind your wealth to hide oneself
Sad
The shit is so twilight zone
Batman left Gotham now shits all wrong
Jokes on you Luke
Here is the Demolition Man
A nigga got a plan and I gotta...
Get em 1 by 1, 2 by 2
The kids need the guidance
That real life
All in bitch you know my face
My name
The style
The catalog
Ahhhh
Cud Life the #1, 1
Cud Life the #1, 1
Cud Life the #1, 1 under the sun
The Chosen
Fucka
I hear the madness
I pray I lean towards the light, ya know?
Im just livin'
Tryna stay outta trouble, minding my own
The angels they protect me from the horror in my dome
I don't wanna have to tell you again friend
Please, leave a real nigga alone
