im 27 now. this was one of my biggest inspirations in high school. i randomly thought about this song, haven't listened to it in 10 years. the emotions it gave me when i hear the melody was insane. i feel like Kid Cudi spoke to every HS kid going through some shit at the time, his words meant so much. i literally sang along with the whole song, i would sing a low part and immediately remember what high verse came next. Kid Cudi will always have a place in my heart, so special
Love this man. I’m now 21 and I came back to it for the exact same reason. This brings me back to my times in high school as well. His words really did mean so much and they still do, I’m glad there’s other people that feel the same way he helped everyone in someway. Love it man, much love 🤘🏽
Checking in 12 years later. Wow does this still hit. The memories this brings back is something else. Wish this was on Spotify to save to my phone for constant plays. Hope anyone still listening is doing well. We’re out here doing adult things.
I think that what Cudi is trying to say in this song is that you're going to have good and bad times in life, and you just have to accept it. He means that there's nothing you can do to stop the bad times, but there will also be good times to come. It's like a cycle, and he's saying that's how life is. opinion of course
Kid Cudi is really helping me push through it. I haven’t smoked weed in a minute and I haven’t hung out with my friends in a minute. But at the same time I got a job, good grades, been working out, taking cold showers, and on NoFap. And I’m boutta cop a real cart from my friend in a few days. Life is really boutta turn up
Lol i can tell you used to do alot of drugs in the past but stopped and are now grateful that you can appreciate the simple things of life again and once again realize the importance of long term goals. Congrats man. We have definitely come a long way and are still going to go much further.
+oliver tooaye you probably don't know much about rap then xD if you start rapping or you become a hip hop artist underground or signed, you'd know what I'm talking about, or if you just start paying more attention to the lyrics. Have you ever herd the saying rap is more than words? I really shouldn't have to explain much cause this simplistic knowledge and definitely not the da Vinci code.
Kid Cudi has had such a major impact to my life, it’s the first music that has truly connected to me and it’s gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life. Every time I’ve felt alone or trying to self isolate, Cudis music has helped me. His message is what got me to get the help I needed and to be open and honest about my mental health. I still come back to this song so many years later. I get to see him perform live in a few months for the first time, couldn’t be more excited. Thank you kid cudi, you’ve impacted my life and millions of others positivity
Graduated in 15, its been 9 years going on a decade. I feel like ive lived 20 years since then. Grew up pretty wealthy. Got bad into drigs after school and into college. A to z, everything. 28 now. Still struggling. Mentally. But i know im not alone in this fight for sanity and peace. I hope all yall out there can find the light in the darkness. Merry christmas & happy new years yall. Much love.
Used to play this on my nano on repeat, among many other cudi songs. This one especially takes me back to what I was feeling back in 2010 high school. Facebook was just starting up and the internet wasn’t completely in control of the world. Nostalgia is great.
+Idkmanrly nope,it was cake,i had alot of fun and jumped at every opportunity I could,no to brag but I was almost always the smartest kid in class,my junior and senior year I did west mec aviation airphrame and powerplant technician school, I got to go fix planes instead of staying in my high school campus all day,basically for the last two years I went to school from 7:20 am to 5:30 pm every week day, I learned a lot that gave me an unbelievable edge over regular high school students,I was a bad kid (class clown) originally and I'm not gonna lie, I did alot of drugs lol and was almost always high,but I passed all my classes and had fun
When I was just a young buck, this man's music saved my life. I remember over a decade ago smokin and cruising to this and I have to thank Scott for quite a bit. As I set here in 2024, smokin a nice cone of some sativa and thinking of this song, I can now see how this world runs in circles.... unless you're above average and see things for how they truly are. It's easy to get stuck in the mundane-ness of life without God.
@@jase3966 lol rizz needs to be strong as heck on the youtubes. Most people think its impossible but the trick is to go yt>snap>built a decent connection> number
+Elegant Elliott nah man don't make music like this, make music you wana here. two cudi's in the world isnt necessary but a cudi and an elliott is the key
Back in highschool where I'm unaware of my anxieties. This was back when I depended on weed and alcohol for confidence. It was fun and depressing time.
My died passed away at 43 in April. Kid Cudi made 2019 bearable for me when I was wayyyy down there. Here’s hoping for 2020 to be a healing and comforting year for everyone here!!
I graduated high school in 2016. I remember discovering this song somewhere around 10th grade. This had a tremendous impact on my character as a kid and im so glad i can listen to it today and feel those same feelings I had all those years ago.
I was first introduced to his music 2 months after I moved to Kansas from California, it was a hard transition, different lifestyle, I became depressed. His music helped me walk an ominous journey of loneliness, now I am blessed with friends that became family along with a beautiful daughter ❤️
10 years later and I love that I can revisit this song to connect with every single emotion I seem to be dealing with, truly a powerful healing piece of art
This song got me through 2020 after a terrible breakup and losing multiple family members to illnesses in a small span of time... I'm currently trying to fight through a heart condition of my own and this song brings me back... just taking in the highs and lows of life with stride
Found this song when I was 13. I'm 25. Song still hits me in that special place . I listen to it every once in a while when I'm surfing the web. Absolute gold.
i might be the only one listening to this song now.. so weird that i used to go to bed to this song. now im 27 and coming back to this song to feel better. praying for anyone who needs it.
This song reminds me of my brother Roman, I think he used to play the instrumental for us to freestyle to, I don’t quite remember but my brain recognizes it and relates it to him. RIP Roman I miss you every day bro, thanks for moulding me into the man that I am today.
This song got me thru high school, kid Cudi is the man I can’t say nothing but great things about the guy he saved my life going thru school with anxiety and depression was hard but having Cudi made me feel understood this isn’t on iTunes so I always gotta come back to it on RUclips after a while
this song is beautiful, people don't give enough props to the lyricists of today. It's simple yet to the point and relate-able.. just a pure expression of raw feeling.. or what ever I unno great song.
This music remember me the good old days when I was with my guys chilling all night, laughing, smoking weed and just living the moment. Thank you kid for taking me that feelings back.
2023 damn this was one of the best different genres collaboration. Both worked very great together. Bought back memories. I live that 1 line Cudi said “when I’m gone I never come back” it’s deep there multiple meanings to that bar
This song makes me cry, but like not in a sad way more like a "everything's going to be okay" comforting kinda of way if that makes sense. I love kid Cudi man this dudes music been keeping me going since highschool
I love Kid Cudi's music, new and old. This beat is banginnn. "I be low when I gotta get ready for work, cuz after bills my pockets be hurt... " Story of my life.
One of my favorite songs by Cudi, because I can really relate to this song a lot. If I was to recommend someone to his music this would be the main song I will tell them to check out.
Going through the comments and nothing about Bob, Lay Lady Lay - one of my favorite Dylan songs. I love Cudi, but lets show a little appreciation to the man by introducing some younger people to other great music.
The Bob Dylan song in the background + Kid Cudi is a representation of range in exceptional music, no matter the genre. Love this song. Still remember the first time I heard it and thinking, damn, we so lucky to have this blissful song.
Intro] Uh Yeah Hello Hey [Verse] I be high When I split a dutch and fill it up I be high When I get my money doubled up, I be high When a model wanna let me cut, I be high When I'm shinin' cause my diamonds blush, I be low When a nigga can't get away, I be low When I can't seem to make a way, I be low When I can't even feed myself, I be low When I realize I'm by myself But I be high When I'm shopping for expensive clothes I be high When I get what I couldn't before, I be high In the club while I'm poppin bub I be high When I'm cruisin, sittin' on them dubs But I be low At the shows in my dressing room, I be low When I see that I'm a different dude, I be low On the plane looking at the sky, I be low But my highs keep the rhythm tight [Hook] I be high, then I be low, I be low, then I be high It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool This the story of my life, I be high Then I be low, I be low, Then I be high It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool That's the story of my life [Verse] When I gotta get ready for work I be low Cause after bills my pockets be hurt I be low When I can't take a girl out I be low Cause they can't even figure me out But I be high When the phony chicks show me love Cause in my mind I read em' but don't give a fuck I be high When a nigga get attention I be high When ya girl catch feelings Then I be low When I go into the empty space I be low When I'm lookin' at a stressed face I be low Cause my brother face through hard time I be low With my nigga' ridin close behind Then I'm high When I know the places we can go I be high When I think of what the future hold I be high When she ask for my room number I be high But my lows keep a nigga' humble [Hook] I be high, then I be low, I be low, then I be high It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool This the story of my life, I be high Then I be low, I be low, Then I be high It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool That's the story of my life [Verse 2] I was high When the label said that I was dope I was high In my eyes cause I had hope I was high When I first had the taste of love I was high When I left the city I was from And I was low When I had a recent heartbreak I was low Cause I truly thought I had a mate I was low When I lost her over silliness I was low Cause she twisted what my words meant But I was high When I finally had the chance to see Everything that's pretty ain't always good for me I was high When she first said I like you Man I must be too high to even write, dude And these things show you growth Some niggas show a little But I'll show you the most Highs and lows And succeed for sho The only thing left to do is say a toast Cause... [Hook] I be high, then I be low, I be low, then I be high It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool This the story of my life, I be high Then I be low, I be low, Then I be high It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool That's the story of my life [Outro] Now won't you please save Scotty, Lord? Help me, please Help me, please Now won't you please save Scotty, Lord? Won't you please
i just turned 14 but lemme say i love cudi. the first time heard one of his songs was when i was 6 and day n nite was playin. when i was 8 i was hooked to soundtrack 2 my life and would listen to it on repeat lmao. now i’m a huge cudi fan and him and juice wrld are now my fav rappers.
thats whats up. i was 10 when kid cudi came out with motm 1... been on him ever since. dont really mess with any of his work past motm3 or juice wrld. i wonder if i was your age right now maybe juice would be to me what cudi is.
I feel man I haven't even listened to his new album I don't wanna know if it's good or bad I'll just keep bumping this, man on the moon 1&2 and indicudi
Dang used to bump this in high school. I had it in my head for some reason today had to find it here. We need this and the prayer on Spotify. Those were my favorites.
First time I ever listened to this I love Cudi this is a hidden gem the lyrics, the background song & ironically that’s a Bob Dylan song & I just happen to hear this on Bob Dylan’s Birthday.. 5/24 Lay Lady Lay. Love this Cudi!
im 27 now. this was one of my biggest inspirations in high school. i randomly thought about this song, haven't listened to it in 10 years. the emotions it gave me when i hear the melody was insane. i feel like Kid Cudi spoke to every HS kid going through some shit at the time, his words meant so much. i literally sang along with the whole song, i would sing a low part and immediately remember what high verse came next. Kid Cudi will always have a place in my heart, so special
Andrew Sampson period
Love this man. I’m now 21 and I came back to it for the exact same reason. This brings me back to my times in high school as well. His words really did mean so much and they still do, I’m glad there’s other people that feel the same way he helped everyone in someway. Love it man, much love 🤘🏽
A-fuckin-men 🙌
I turn 28 in 6 months ... I feel you 🔥
same here, whenever i hear cudi i feel old
Checking in 12 years later. Wow does this still hit. The memories this brings back is something else. Wish this was on Spotify to save to my phone for constant plays. Hope anyone still listening is doing well. We’re out here doing adult things.
If you get RUclips music you can listen to it
Why the hell isn't this on Spotify!? I'm here because this song literally popped into my head right now and it's not on Spotify!
Salute bro
foreal 🤣
Wishing everyone a happy holidays. Stay safe stay warm. I smoke this bowl for y’all who be low cause we will be high again.
Kid means so much to so many people
Amen
Amen 🙏🏾
putting 1 in the air for all my homies who be low
word up! Bless up!
We here you out in these streets!
Jonny Bauzo word

Low right now 😔
Who noticed when he's high there are claps in the music when he's low they change to snaps
Ayyyy your right im high af
And in the chorus it's both
Just now!!!
Dawg I’ve listened to this song for years and never noticed that.. lmao thank you!
🤯
14 years later and this is true no matter how old we get cudi raised us what a amazing man everyone here still living make the most of your life!!!
2020s here and cudi still bringing me to tears
Ain't that the truth tho! Nobody can ever match the kid
Always
Yep😭
Literally
felt this
I think that what Cudi is trying to say in this song is that you're going to have good and bad times in life, and you just have to accept it. He means that there's nothing you can do to stop the bad times, but there will also be good times to come. It's like a cycle, and he's saying that's how life is.
opinion of course
Well said.
very tru
also imagine how life would be without the bad times....BORING. :)
Thank you captain obvious. I don't know how I would have come to that conclusion without you
Dillon Graff some people are that dumb...
I wish my big brother was in his right mind, every time I hear this I think of all the memories we made growing up. Enjoy the moment before you can’t
Kid Cudi is really helping me push through it. I haven’t smoked weed in a minute and I haven’t hung out with my friends in a minute. But at the same time I got a job, good grades, been working out, taking cold showers, and on NoFap. And I’m boutta cop a real cart from my friend in a few days. Life is really boutta turn up
happy for you man 🙏
Happy for you also enjoy them days🙏🏽
Lol i can tell you used to do alot of drugs in the past but stopped and are now grateful that you can appreciate the simple things of life again and once again realize the importance of long term goals.
Congrats man. We have definitely come a long way and are still going to go much further.
Kid cudi always had a message in all of his songs
It's always, "I'm high, I'm sad, you're listening to me, so get high and sad with me," though. Not a bad message, but it's always pretty similar
His lyrics relate to different people you have to really understand his lyrics to be able to interpret the message
+oliver tooaye you probably don't know much about rap then xD if you start rapping or you become a hip hop artist underground or signed, you'd know what I'm talking about, or if you just start paying more attention to the lyrics.

oliver tooaye YES IT IS !!!!!!!!!! fu.. and yo mamma o.O O0OO0o0o0o wtf were you talking about again xD *PuFF*PuFF-PasS*
Zion Grayson exactly it takes time to create a hearing to understand deeper meanings in lyrics
This is my go 2 song whenever I’m depressed and has been for a while . Kid Cudi saved my life in a lot of ways no joke.
I've listened to this song everyday for like 6 years now.
Andrew Dehart obsessed much
Andrew Dehart till you're gone bruttah
Andrew Dehart that's a lie
Wanna be fri ends ?
Mario Camacho No it's not, I've listened to this song at least like once a week for the last 3 years.

Merry christmas & happy new years yall. Much love.
Listened to this all the time when I was 17...15 years ago. It still hits the same y'all.
This song has gotten me through so many bad times. Good times too. Peace to all of you who are facing some lows.
Used to play this on my nano on repeat, among many other cudi songs. This one especially takes me back to what I was feeling back in 2010 high school. Facebook was just starting up and the internet wasn’t completely in control of the world. Nostalgia is great.
Cudi's so ahead of his time everyones pretending to be him now!
Facts though.
Mimicry is one of the highest forms of respect. It may be a bit ignorant tho. Scott shares his experience so others don't make his same mistakes
His shit was always so different and so refreshing when I started listening to him
He paved the way for all these depressed rappers
It's crazy how such emotional songs like this help us cope with our own struggles. Cudi is so relatable, and so unique.
i used to listen to this driving to college , smoking around 10am , no one on the roads just chilling 😁
All these years and still not on spotify? Who do i sue
It’s bc the beat is sampling someone else’s music
@kidcudi thanks for helping me when I was low. You helped me get through some tough times.. love ya
Cudi helped me realize life is all about the Highs & Lows
I be high
***** luv da vids
***** codeh,i love your vids bro
mad love and support
+xCodeh well look who it is , you also have a good taste in music
Bro you're here too nice!!!!!
I love cudi too Cody I wish he was more active 😞
dam,it's 2016,crazy year,graduated high school and have my whole life ahead,but I'm taking a break and listening to songs like this reminiscing
high school was hard wasnt it?
+Idkmanrly nope,it was cake,i had alot of fun and jumped at every opportunity I could,no to brag but I was almost always the smartest kid in class,my junior and senior year I did west mec aviation airphrame and powerplant technician school, I got to go fix planes instead of staying in my high school campus all day,basically for the last two years I went to school from 7:20 am to 5:30 pm every week day, I learned a lot that gave me an unbelievable edge over regular high school students,I was a bad kid (class clown) originally and I'm not gonna lie, I did alot of drugs lol and was almost always high,but I passed all my classes and had fun
+Carlos Franco read this and thought of my school time..finished school this year too. Thank you for summing up haha
greetings from Germany
I was fuxking hella bitches in high skoo hahaha
Mark Eastham you better should tell us about smoking tons of weed in high shool, but ur story is great too. Ayyyeeee rrrraaaaaa
When I was just a young buck, this man's music saved my life. I remember over a decade ago smokin and cruising to this and I have to thank Scott for quite a bit. As I set here in 2024, smokin a nice cone of some sativa and thinking of this song, I can now see how this world runs in circles.... unless you're above average and see things for how they truly are. It's easy to get stuck in the mundane-ness of life without God.
This song can never get old, i've probably heard it over a thousand times.
i used to have this on repeat constantly in college. i swear it’s so nostalgic
Hey Zoe, it's a pretty cool song for sure 🙂
@@jase3966 lol rizz needs to be strong as heck on the youtubes.
Most people think its impossible but the trick is to go yt>snap>built a decent connection> number
I’m a senior right now in high school and this song be hyping me up
Wow I'm 27 years old and I'll never forget how amazing this song was
I wish I was able to make music like this. So simple but done so precisely and perfect.
+Danky Duck thank you ! I'll try!!
+Elegant Elliott nah man don't make music like this, make music you wana here. two cudi's in the world isnt necessary but a cudi and an elliott is the key
+Blank Page thats some deep comment
check out my shit. kid cudi influenced me a lot
Don't wish just do
Back in highschool where I'm unaware of my anxieties. This was back when I depended on weed and alcohol for confidence. It was fun and depressing time.
man i feel you tbh, i would go to hs high af and get home and get drunk with my homies in my room. those days were rough but i miss them like no other
Damn havent heard this song in years. Still slaps
My died passed away at 43 in April. Kid Cudi made 2019 bearable for me when I was wayyyy down there. Here’s hoping for 2020 to be a healing and comforting year for everyone here!!
ur died?
Id give anything to go back to when this song came out😢
2024 still listening to this
Wish it was on Apple
I listened to Bob Dylan recently and it immediately triggered this memory
I graduated high school in 2016. I remember discovering this song somewhere around 10th grade. This had a tremendous impact on my character as a kid and im so glad i can listen to it today and feel those same feelings I had all those years ago.
Felt that
I was first introduced to his music 2 months after I moved to Kansas from California, it was a hard transition, different lifestyle, I became depressed. His music helped me walk an ominous journey of loneliness, now I am blessed with friends that became family along with a beautiful daughter ❤️
10 years later and I love that I can revisit this song to connect with every single emotion I seem to be dealing with, truly a powerful healing piece of art

I listen to this when I'm on the dark web buying molly 🤣
cudi please make more songs you help me through life
Emilio Coppin he'll be dropping some new albums pretty soon
Agreed!
Pain, Passion & Demon Slayin'
all time fav
the commander. dam so powerfull
Realizing Cudi sampled so many influential artists makes this so much better. This is sampled from Lay lady lay by Bob Dylan.
Who else here in 2019 dealing with the swings of life??
I be cool this the story of my life
We're all on the same boat...
right there with you
I’m with you as well
Facts
i might be the only one listening to this song now.. so weird that i used to go to bed to this song. now im 27 and coming back to this song to feel better. praying for anyone who needs it.
Everyone was dealing with emotions in high school looking back I don’t have those anymore grateful ✝️ but it’s dope to time travel
Come back to this song every time I feel down, always reminds me that there’s highs coming when I’m down like this
This song reminds me of my brother Roman, I think he used to play the instrumental for us to freestyle to, I don’t quite remember but my brain recognizes it and relates it to him. RIP Roman I miss you every day bro, thanks for moulding me into the man that I am today.
Holy shit!!! I’ve been listening to this song for over 10 years and just today realized that it’s a sample of Bob Dylan’s Lay Lady Lay.
This song got me thru high school, kid Cudi is the man I can’t say nothing but great things about the guy he saved my life going thru school with anxiety and depression was hard but having Cudi made me feel understood this isn’t on iTunes so I always gotta come back to it on RUclips after a while
this song is beautiful, people don't give enough props to the lyricists of today. It's simple yet to the point and relate-able.. just a pure expression of raw feeling.. or what ever I unno great song.
Cudi had the best stoner music back when he still smoked.
Bro he still smokes lmao
Never spoked, but Kid Cudi is my favorite artist. He's amazing and I love the guy.
This music remember me the good old days when I was with my guys chilling all night, laughing, smoking weed and just living the moment. Thank you kid for taking me that feelings back.
Kid Cudi's music gives you that feeling he's my top 5 favorite Rappers/Musicians of all time
He'll always be my number one. I think people have made arguably better music but no one has made me feel the way cudi does. Much love
cudi always be 1
2023 damn this was one of the best different genres collaboration. Both worked very great together. Bought back memories. I live that 1 line Cudi said “when I’m gone I never come back” it’s deep there multiple meanings to that bar
Beat sampled from the great Bob Dylan. Well done, Scott.
What song?
Lay Lady Lay
Thanks!
I was complementing Cudi for his excellent taste. I'm not quite sure what your post means...
Did he sample the original or the Pete drake version?
Anyone else here because of Timothee’s instagram story (amazing song woahhh so glad I found this)
This song makes me cry, but like not in a sad way more like a "everything's going to be okay" comforting kinda of way if that makes sense. I love kid Cudi man this dudes music been keeping me going since highschool
I love Kid Cudi's music, new and old. This beat is banginnn. "I be low when I gotta get ready for work, cuz after bills my pockets be hurt... " Story of my life.
bruh 2021 vibes fashoooo!! sipping drinking contemplating.
One of my favorite songs by Cudi, because I can really relate to this song a lot. If I was to recommend someone to his music this would be the main song I will tell them to check out.
Going through the comments and nothing about Bob, Lay Lady Lay - one of my favorite Dylan songs. I love Cudi, but lets show a little appreciation to the man by introducing some younger people to other great music.
+Benjamin Collins
thought the same thing
Lay Lady Lay is one of my favorite songs. 🔥
+Benjamin Collins I respect his legacy but I don't really listen to him
Respek deez nutz Ben.
thank you so fucking much i was searching for that track for so long
The Bob Dylan song in the background + Kid Cudi is a representation of range in exceptional music, no matter the genre. Love this song. Still remember the first time I heard it and thinking, damn, we so lucky to have this blissful song.
Taking me back to 2012 and the world was wonderful... Damn.
Intro]
Uh
Yeah
Hello
Hey
[Verse]
I be high
When I split a dutch and fill it up
I be high
When I get my money doubled up, I be high
When a model wanna let me cut, I be high
When I'm shinin' cause my diamonds blush, I be low
When a nigga can't get away, I be low
When I can't seem to make a way, I be low
When I can't even feed myself, I be low
When I realize I'm by myself
But I be high
When I'm shopping for expensive clothes
I be high
When I get what I couldn't before, I be high
In the club while I'm poppin bub
I be high
When I'm cruisin, sittin' on them dubs But I be low
At the shows in my dressing room, I be low
When I see that I'm a different dude, I be low
On the plane looking at the sky, I be low
But my highs keep the rhythm tight
[Hook]
I be high, then I be low, I be low, then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool
This the story of my life, I be high
Then I be low, I be low, Then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool
That's the story of my life
[Verse]
When I gotta get ready for work
I be low
Cause after bills my pockets be hurt
I be low
When I can't take a girl out
I be low
Cause they can't even figure me out
But I be high
When the phony chicks show me love
Cause in my mind I read em' but don't give a fuck
I be high
When a nigga get attention
I be high
When ya girl catch feelings
Then I be low
When I go into the empty space
I be low
When I'm lookin' at a stressed face
I be low
Cause my brother face through hard time I be low
With my nigga' ridin close behind
Then I'm high
When I know the places we can go
I be high
When I think of what the future hold
I be high
When she ask for my room number
I be high
But my lows keep a nigga' humble
[Hook]
I be high, then I be low, I be low, then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool
This the story of my life, I be high
Then I be low, I be low, Then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool
That's the story of my life
[Verse 2]
I was high
When the label said that I was dope
I was high
In my eyes cause I had hope
I was high
When I first had the taste of love
I was high
When I left the city I was from
And I was low
When I had a recent heartbreak
I was low
Cause I truly thought I had a mate
I was low
When I lost her over silliness
I was low
Cause she twisted what my words meant
But I was high
When I finally had the chance to see
Everything that's pretty ain't always good for me
I was high
When she first said I like you
Man I must be too high to even write, dude
And these things show you growth
Some niggas show a little
But I'll show you the most
Highs and lows
And succeed for sho
The only thing left to do is say a toast
Cause...
[Hook]
I be high, then I be low, I be low, then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool
This the story of my life, I be high
Then I be low, I be low, Then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I be cool
That's the story of my life
[Outro]
Now won't you please save Scotty, Lord?
Help me, please
Help me, please
Now won't you please save Scotty, Lord?
Won't you please
I miss this version of Cudi. Sucks to know he went through his humiliation ritual. I hope God helps our lonely stoner out & humbles him again.
Got me in the feels! After years of not hearing this song, couldn’t build a better picture of how I feel currently.
Kid Cudi for Nobel Prize for Literature.
I come back to this song damn near every year prob even multiple times of the month when I’m feelin like this &I think this shit nvr gets old💯💯
This song is what truly explains my life.
Bring this Cudi back!
+Terry Gleason that makes no sense. haha
+Terry Gleason such a simple yet very complex statement
i just turned 14 but lemme say i love cudi. the first time heard one of his songs was when i was 6 and day n nite was playin. when i was 8 i was hooked to soundtrack 2 my life and would listen to it on repeat lmao. now i’m a huge cudi fan and him and juice wrld are now my fav rappers.
thats whats up. i was 10 when kid cudi came out with motm 1... been on him ever since. dont really mess with any of his work past motm3 or juice wrld. i wonder if i was your age right now maybe juice would be to me what cudi is.
I miss Kid Cudi 2008-2013 was when it was at his best in his rap game
Yeah me too
Now he’s a wanna be kid cudi 😞
I feel man I haven't even listened to his new album I don't wanna know if it's good or bad I'll just keep bumping this, man on the moon 1&2 and indicudi
@@robertpaulson117 🇺🇸🎵facts hope 2024 is groovy for you and everyone you know man☮️
Man this is such a great song. I wish this was on iTunes or datdiff. Love Cudi. Can't wait for satellite flight .
The wait is over!
satellite flight wasnt all that imo, i miss cudder from the MOTM days :(
viper vimal Ever since he quit smoking his music has went to the curb with the rest of the trash
hiestonation look at his last tweet
hiestonation he spotted smoking?
Happy 40th Birthday to Mr. Solo Dolo Himself! Thank you for everything you've given us, Scott Mescudi.
I think at this point, this song is the only thing getting me through every morning when I wake up
I tried going to sleep almost 2 hours ago and here I am laying in bed, smoking a joint, vibing to some vintage Cudi
Changed the game I’m 35 now and in 2008 no one hit like he did not Drake not anyone it was Cudi only Cudi
Use to listen to this song all the time in 8th grade
me too bro now I'm 20 reminisce
Listens to this while I got high for the first time good times man!
+Adrian Cordova I'm 20 as well!
+Adrian Cordova I used to listen to all cudis songs like cudi zone. Heart of a lion. Alive. All of it !
Elegant Elliott sick bro sick
I'm 40 and cudi saved my life
Ultimate high is when the ones you loves accept christ and you know you will see them in heaven waiting to greet you👊🏽🙏🏽✝️
2023 still one of the realest songs out there
never been high, still like his songs
this song is basicially your state of mind when your high, no hurt in trying something once :P
It'a not litterally talking about being high. Hes talking about the lows and highs of his life.
Mike Hawk Uh possibly but you must not know kid cudi
Being high is a part of it, but it's mostly about his ups and downs in life
Jules Kral lol you must not be listening to the song. smh
Still listening to this gem, shit gets me through the day thanks cudi!
Thank You Cudi For Making Such Timeless Music That Helps Me get Through Life, Daily.
🖤🤘
just found this after having not listened to in such a long time, what a banger
Dang used to bump this in high school. I had it in my head for some reason today had to find it here. We need this and the prayer on Spotify. Those were my favorites.
Forever will be a cudi fan
no one even realizes this is the music that changed all the serious issues in the world
This song cannot be found on Spotify but it’s one of Cudi’s originals off his demo tape I believe
First time I ever listened to this I love Cudi this is a hidden gem the lyrics, the background song & ironically that’s a Bob Dylan song & I just happen to hear this on Bob Dylan’s Birthday.. 5/24 Lay Lady Lay. Love this Cudi!
As someone with bipolar depression this song hits hard
Cudi been one of my favorites since I heard day n night
Always picks up the mood, been going through one.
2024 we here 🙏🏻
This song brings back many nostalgic memories like feeling that warmth in my heart when I think about it can’t believe it’s fucking 2021
I just realized the beat is similar to Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay"
Very clever. Much respect. ✌🏼️
