A TALE OF A KNIGHT Lyrics by Kid Cudi

[Intro: Kid Cudi & DJ Drama]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Nightlife
Think you can hang?
Ayy
I don’t know
Yeah, yeah
This one might be an all nighter
Get ’em up, get ’em up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I got a tale for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up
Get ’em up

[Verse 1]
This my life, hittin’ new stages, hittin’ new, get ’em up, hit ’em up
Ain’t that sugar wall, smoke it all, burn it up, two doors, flippin’ up, fill it up
Big talk cat ’cause I live it, all through the lover, boy, now I want my niggas
Walk in, get it, get it, what, what can a nigga seek? I knows I push it to the limit
It’s all true, sip, sippin’ on the brew, smokin’ blunts while too
And I’m so drippy, take a look at my roots, take a look at my boo
Say that and they always wanna ask how it feel to be a king
Ever since my daddy died, knew I wanted more and it was all on me
See him, all ghost, all black, pussy, please fall back
A hero, they call him, he lethal, here, hold that
Everythin’ full and lost kids, never gave a fuck about a hater and his piece
Now I’m ’bout to give a lil’ tip, nigga, you fuck off, I’m too boss, huh

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up
Yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up
This is the tale of a knight, walk off the Earth, I do what I like, I like
So when I’m off on the nights, she wanna take flight, flight

[Verse 2]
See him, we see him, we Gucci, take off on a flight
We in Omega, we dimmin’ the lights
Stewardess pourin’ the liquor we lit, just bossin’ the shit
I tell ’em I’m just a young nigga that’s stuck in the life
So when I’m goin’ to places you never
Always get money because I am coming, my girl load a God
Me and my team is road deep, makin’ money when I sleep
Never say never and plus I had set all my G’s
Teach you what bosses can be
Watch all these women that pray to the beat (Yeah)
[?] freaks
Top of the crop, I am not what you thinkin’
I am an alien, live in the cosmos, I’m out of here
Nigga, don’t worry ’bout what I am doin’, go live your life
Talkin’ shit ’bout me don’t work
I am too not, I ain’t got time to worry ’bout it
I’m too busy, I’m livin’ a movie
When you walk great, they will hate and say fuck a chopper
‘Cause I’m pipin’ hot
Do it for dreamers and wizards, my niggas that’s flippin’ it, ooh
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up
Yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up
This is the tale of a knight, walk off the Earth, I do what I like, I like
So when I’m off on the nights, she wanna take flight, flight
Yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up
Yeah, yeah
Get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up, get ’em up
This is the tale of a knight, walk off the Earth, I do what I like, I like
So when I’m off on the nights, she wanna take flight, flight
