Talking: Plain Pat what up?
My heart thump not from being nervous
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
Beyond from the heart, from the soul you can feel
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
'Cuz I'm ready for a 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 'cuz I know the world'll feel this nigga
Blessing in disguise but I am not hiding who I am open your eyes bro
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
'Cuz I'm ready for a funeral
And if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take
So 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 take
'Cuz I'm ready for a funeral (I'm ready for the funeral, I'm ready for the funeral)
My heart thump not from being nervous
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
Beyond from the heart, from the soul you can feel
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
'Cuz I'm ready for a 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 'cuz I know the world'll feel this nigga
Blessing in disguise but I am not hiding who I am open your eyes bro
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
'Cuz I'm ready for a funeral
And if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take
So 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 take
'Cuz I'm ready for a funeral (I'm ready for the funeral, I'm ready for the funeral)

When he says
"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..."
he is saying that he is trying to reach out to the audiance (you) saying hes not going to make his last words of his raps be about jeans and stuff, its gunnu be about god.
He is trying to preach to you.
He believes that God put him on this world and he is going to use his talent to reach out and teach to you guys.
Are you ready to die? if you were to meet with god and he asks you "what have you done to reach out to others and bring them to christ" would you be able to say "i have"?
this is what i got out of this song.
he is so intelligent with the deepest meanings and his songs never get old. after a while of the same song being played we get tired of all that mainstream rapping bullshit. ive listened to this song so many times, stoned and sober and i will never get tired of his songs.
my dad also died early in my life (i was 16 and have a brother 3 years younger) and this song means so much to me. when he talks about the night terrors and those fucking cold sweats... man being able to relate like that makes it so meaningful.
when he talks about not being able to "catch his mind even with a headstart" hes talking about the million of thoughts that run thru his head... MILLIONS. i go to college and this whole depression JUST hit me after three years of being completely numb to my dad dying and lemme tell you, not being passionate about anything, makes you just wanna sleep in bed the entire day (probably skipped 90% of my classes). i fucked up school really bad this semester and honestly i never lost my love for these songs.
Kid Cudi, if i ever meet you in real life, i wanna give you a hug man. Youll understand the connection or whatever we have and sitting and talking to you would be the chillest thing ive ever done.
keep it real
Make your next album just as good as these ones (impossible to make them better)
"My heart thump not from being nervous
Sometimes I'm thinking God made me special here on purpose"
Kid Cudi's heart thumps because of his passion and love for hip hop, he is not nervous about his ability to share this passion and influence others making him think God made him special for a specific 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"
So until he dies, he is always going to make his lyrics matter and inspire
Because if he dies, his contribution to life won't be about materialism.
"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
Beyond from the heart, from the soul you can feel"
Cudi describes his desire to inspire as "being free" and he dreamed of it since birth.
The demons are the obstacles and corruption he faces in a materialistic society, and Cudi has also been a victim, but he confronted these demons allowing him to overcome.
Cudi is expressing passion and hope as the key tools of overcoming life's obstacles which the statement has a lot of truth or "real". This truth inspires humans to see the possibility of their own dreams, "Beyond from the heart, from the soul you can feel".
"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
'Cuz I'm ready for a funeral"
If he dies before he is able fulfill his purpose, then he prays the Lord that his soul takes this passion up to heaven because it is such a big part of him. Which is why he asks his fans not to cry because he will be taking this passion with him, but his passion to inspire through hip hop will live through his songs.
"Cuz I'm ready for a funeral" Cudi is prepared for his death because he has gave his all to express his love and passion and to inspire, and he has no regrets.
"My mind runs I can never catch it even if I got a head start"
Cudi has so many ideas, and thoughts to inspire that he can't even grasp them at times.
"God please tell me I am feeling so alone way"
He is asking reassurance from God about his purpose because he can't find any other artists with the same purpose which makes Cudi worried
"I don't need to worry 'cuz I know the world'll feel this nigga
Blessing in disguise but I am not hiding who I am open your eyes bro"
But Cudi stops worrying because he has faith that humans will be able to relate to Cudi.
Cudi is a "blessing in disguise" because the real disguise is mainstream hip hop's superficial influence to society, so Cudi will be wearing this disguise of hip hop but is a blessing because of what his songs inspire. "I am not hiding who I am open your eyes bro" Cudi won't be holding back anything in his songs, but it is up to the listener to realize, and be moved by Cudi's message.
"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"
If Cudi thanks the fans who has been inspired from his songs
And to the girls that left Cudi because of his love for his passion was greater than his love for his girlfriends, he isn't mad at them, but to those girls who told him that his passion will go nowhere, "You stabbed me in the heart" he has no love for them because they have no idea the beauty Cudi feels from inspiring others through his songs "this shit is so ill"
So if you feel Cudi's message than play the song over.
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
I think this line tells the whole story of the song. Pretty much how Scott is coming on the scene, and he is thankful for god making him special with the words and meanings he can create. his heart thumps not from being nervous of carrying the role that was givin to him but his heart beats because of the passion he has for creating words and music. God made him special, and if he dies away he wants to be remembered by how real his shit is.
