Lyric discussion by Gary03mw 

I think its funny that everyone is getting some inspirational meaning from this song. Heres what it really means since nobody has even come close.

What you need to understand is that the "pursuit," [b]is[/b] doing drugs, weed, alcohol, other substances, etc. The song is quite simply about getting fucked up and thats what makes him happy. So the process of getting fucked up whether that be drinking, smoking, whatever is the "pursuit of happiness." Crush a bit

He doesnt, get better towards the end or leave you on a positive note. Hes throwing up at the end asking why he drank so much. Hell the entire album is fairly dark.

Read this again below with this in mind. Hes talking about what he is [b]CURRENTLY[/b] doing. Hes has crushed a bit, rolled it and smoking it, hes fucked up and "on the pursuit." And, "he'll be fine" once he gets his high.

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit Feelin lit, feelin right, 2 am summer night I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin my thing Rollin the Midwest side and out livin my life gettin out dreams People told me slow my road. I'm screaming out fuck that Imma do just what I want, lookin ahead no turnin back If I fall, if I die, know I lived it to the fullest If I fall, if I die, know I lived and missed some bullets

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold, hey I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good

i like you.

it does change in the second verse. he totally is referring to how hard it is to get off drugs and break an addiction. he's making a comment on his own inability to give up and commenting on how addiction is something that non-addicts don't understand. To me he seems resentful to himself and society at this point.

He carries on with the chorus hoping and believing that everything is going to end up OK whilst still being stuck in his addicted mind, wanting more.

In this verse i think he is wanting to quit.

i got on here and created an account juuuust so i could say thank u. ppl r retarded if they dont realize this song is about getting fucked up. but for as far as the first lines go, i hav my own opion on what it means. when he says crush a bit lil bit roll it up take a hit, i thought of weed. but now i think hes actually talking about pills(kid cudi has a pill addiction) crush a bit = crush a pill. lil bit= get a lil bit. roll it up = roll up bill, paper...
