Lord I Know Lyrics

[Intro: Kid Cudi]
Hey

[Verse 1: Kid Cudi]
The world is steady spinnin' and I'm in it full speed now (Yeah)
Couldn't miss the perfect moment, been livin' wild
Every day's a blessing, get the message, God, hear me out (Out)
While I'm chillin', fronto peelin', oh, Lord, tell me how
I been on my own, there's somethin' missin', missin' (Yeah)
On my job, workin' strong, hyper-focused, baby, ain't no phasing
Tell me what you do when your world is crazy (Crazy)
Something goin' on and I wish the world could save me, wasn't ready
Now I understand, my nigga, shit is gravy (Gravy)
Keep away from hoes, never let them get too close, not C (Nah)
No time for drama, ain't the same way it was (Uh-uh)
Struttin' like it's nothin', hit the button, no more feelin' buzzed (Uh)

[Pre-Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Ooh, yeah, I know
Baby, I'm a warrior, baby, I'm a warrior (Yeah!)
Ooh, set the control (Come on)
Baby, I'm a warrior, baby, I'm a warrior


[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Start the show, blessings in my life
Lord, I know (Lord, I know), You can make it right
Start the show (Yeah, nigga), blessings in my life
Lord, I know (Lord, I know, vroom, vroom)

[Verse 2: Kid Cudi]
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
How I am, I'm rockin' steady betty (Uh-huh)
Tell 'em how you seen a fuckin' wizard in the flesh
Now I'm bending every rule until it breaks, no time for chillin', chillin'
Onward on my mission, on my journey, on my quest, yes
Time to roll (Yeah), got my niggas and my boos
Been so sick of runnin', now I'm focused on the next
When it's time to move, serve 'em with that new, new
Tired of the evil tryna take me out my best, wow (Yeah!)
Shoot 'em up and kill 'em, that's they motto, look around, 'round
Tryna gun a nigga, send him up in heaven's gown, gown (Woof!)
Aim it (Woof, woof!), what it do, fool?
I won't be a victim of the devil, got the wrong dude (No)

[Pre-Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Ooh, yeah, I know (Uh-huh)
Baby, I'm a warrior, baby, I'm a warrior (Yeah!)
Ooh, set the control (Uh-huh)
Baby, I'm a warrior, baby, I'm a warrior (Warrior)


[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Start the show, blessings in my life
Lord, I know (Lord, I know), You can make it right
Start the show, blessings in my life
Lord, I know (Lord, I know)

[Outro: Vada Mescudi]

About

Genius Annotation

“Lord I Know” serves as the closer to both the album and the Man on the Moon trilogy. On the track Cudi ruminates about the trials and tribulations he has faced, and understanding the weight of the message of perseverance he has championed throughout his career on tracks like “Pursuit of Happiness” and “Reborn” It finds Cudi finally content with life and the path that he is on. His daughter Vada closes the album with a short message as well.

It features a quirky percussion-driven loop, trap drums, atmospheric synths, and an ethereal outro by the one and only MIKE DEAN.

What did Kid Cudi say about "Lord I Know"?
Genius Answer

“Lord I Know” is kind of like that spiritual hymn—that Cudi classic spiritual hymn. ‘Lord, I know you can make it right. You’ll always have someone looking out for you, and you’re not alone in this.’ That’s one of the messages I want people to pick up on the album is the fact that there is someone looking out for you on this journey, and it might seem like you’re out there on your own, and it’s crazy, and there’s a lot of shit happening. But I do believe in something that’s looking out for us and keeping us safe.
