Kid Cudi Drops New Single ‘Goodbye’

Last night Kid Cudi dropped his new single “Goodbye” and with it cemented his position as one of hip-hop’s preeminent outliers. It opens with a snatch of dialogue from the classic film Juice, samples Pink Floyd, and has Cudi seriously rapping again. Produced by WZRD, it’s a return to form, with him snarling through the verses, airily crooning an emo hook, then coming back to spit hard.

 

For years I’ve been feelin’ suspicious

Bout certain niggas motives and morals

And such

And like that

I done landed the ship

Parrelled parked in the park in the dark

Dont be concerned if im makin’ a grip

Own half of my masters, so muthafuck you bastards

Clones all a fuckin’ round

When I step on the scene don’t hear a sound

What more could I do?

So much, so much

The Chosen One has said stand up, be proud of you

Now Im here

No fear

Been hearin’ all the calls, the chants, the cheers

We’re clear

When Im leavin’ the show,

You knew I was gon’ be back to go yam on these hoes

I hear the madness 

I pray I lean towards the light, ya know?

Im just livin’

Tryna stay outta trouble, minding my own

The angels they protect me from the horror in my dome

I don’t wanna have to tell you again friend

Please, leave a real nigga alone

Cudi recently announced that he’d be dropping two albums this year but in the series of tweets that accompanied the new track gave no indication which album will contain “Goodbye,” if either. Listen below.
