[Intro: Kid Cudi]
Mmm, easy, back up, back up, back up, back up, uh
Turn your radio, turn your radio, off
Watch me now, baby (Baby)
Uh-uh, uh-uh
[Verse 1: Kid Cudi]
Bitches in my ear, they sayin' they love me
Uh, you don't love Scott, you love the Kid Cudi
I ain't no fuckin' slouch, show you what I'm 'bout
My energy is a bit too precious, too drenched in them blessings
Transitionin' to my inner, I'm hearin' their voice
Tellin' me stay in focus, keep focusin', boy
Feelin' like a trilli billi
The man everywhere I go, in any city
I mean, damn the girls, girls, girls galore
I mean, damn the girls, girls, girls adore
Mixin' fluorescent to the core of the accoutrement
Off the tippy titty, settin' off my groupie radar
Sippin' Hen', dappin' hands off the roof of my Porsche
A fresh nigga at large, a fresh nigga go hard
All my youngins say, "Keep it goin'"
All my youngins, they dumb and reppin', they always knowin'
[Pre-Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Got some pride in your town, I'm spottin' 'em lately
Three-piece suit and I'm lookin' so cute
Sexy mama, send her way, you doin' it, honey
Them hatin' fucks sideline and question what you do
Not this, my nigga, you be here (Be here)
Not this, my nigga, you ain't here (Ain't here)
Big boss, I made your heart heavy (Uh-uh)
Can't stop me, can't carry me, baby
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kid Cudi]
Life ain't easy sober, we live so geeky (Yeah)
Did just what you taught us, kept peace, no drama (Yeah)
Phoned home to the moon, did you change your number?
If and when you get this message, need you back home
Big bro, big bro, big bro (Yeah), big bro, back home
Big bro, we need you, come home, back home
Big bro, big bro, shit's fucked, come home (Mmm)
[Post-Chorus: Travis Scott & Kid Cudi]
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher (Ayy, ayy)
[Verse 2: Kid Cudi]
Nightmares kept a nigga from closin' his lids (Lids)
Since a kid, I've been haunted by visions of death
Such a trip, now it's normal, I customed the grip
Think they gone, nah, they just dormant, the hauntings ain't left
Now tell me what's a young nigga to do
When the zombies are comin' for you?
Load up them Daryl Dixons
Survived the rage, turn the page, relaxin', I'm whippin'
Last week, I almost weaved right off of Mulholland
Chiefin' good like I should, alone in my thoughts
All the awesome places I've gone to and witnessed
Is it worth the paranoia, betrayal, or loss?
Nah, nah, heroes can't simply have it all
Sacrifice, but see heroes don't sleep, we hear the call
My nieces know Uncle Scottie's so rock and roll
My princess Vada know rock and roll, Daddy got the glow
[Pre-Chorus: Kid Cudi & Travis Scott]
Got some pride in your town, I'm spottin' 'em lately
Three-piece suit and I'm lookin' so cute (Yeah)
Sexy mama, send her way, you doin' it, honey
Them hatin' fucks sideline and question what you do
Not this, my nigga, you be here (Be here)
Not this, my nigga, you ain't here (Ain't here)
Big boss, I made your heart heavy (Uh-uh)
Can't stop me, can't carry me, baby
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kid Cudi]
Life ain't easy sober, we live so geeky (Yeah)
Did just what you taught us, kept peace, no drama
Phoned home to the moon, did you change your number?
If and when you get this message, need you back home
Big bro, big bro, big bro (Yeah), big bro, back home
Big bro, we need you, come home, back home
Big bro, big bro, shit's fucked, come home (Mmm)
[Post-Chorus: Travis Scott]
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
High-igh-igher, high-igh, high-igh-igher
Baptized in Fire was written by Mort Garson & Plain Pat & MIKE DEAN & Travis Scott & Kid Cudi.
Kid Cudi released Baptized in Fire on Thu Dec 01 2016.
“Baptized In Fire” is a reference to Matthew 3:11:
I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Cudi was featured on “Way Back” and “Through The Late Night” from Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight.
Travis Scott said on Hot 97 that this is his favorite project that he’s done with someone.
It does. Check out this annotation, which goes into further detail.
Travis Scott – it’s just corrected with a higher pitch like on “Pick Up the Phone” during the hook.
“Baptized in Fire” is the third song on Act II: Prophecy.
