This song is one of Kid Cudi’s earliest tracks, but it never saw an official release. It was supposed to be the intro for Cudi’s debut album, but it leaked online because “Cudi left a CD in some dude’s car in Cleveland and dude put the whole thing on the Internet.” Apparently, this dude went for a s...
[Intro]
*Yawn*
Shit...
Man...
Dream on, dream on...
Hey...
[Verse 1]
These voices they tell me go
Why should I ever go?
Man I'm so comfortable here
Why should I head to a place where people live in fear?
Standoff-ish to really hear
Somethin' they can really feel
But see I'll never get
Why the earth is a puzzle that I'll never fit
I'm not of their world
So why should I leave my sanctuary?
Man, the whole thought of that is scary
How do I know that their kind will truly hear me out?
Will they understand I'm flyin' from a different route?
Posed as a human being
Mother Moon tells me that people need my help
I guess these are the cards she threw out and dealt
[Bridge]
She said I gotta do it alone
She said I gotta do it alone
I guess I gotta go
[Hook]
You gotta do it alone mane
You gotta do it alone
You gotta do it alone mane
Go on your own
It's bigger than you mane
It's bigger than you
It's bigger than you mane
[Verse 2]
She said to pack my bags dog and never look back
This is something that I have to do
A hero to save the world
A hero with no girl or no family just sacrifice as a friend
And struggle is the enemy
But weed is the remedy
And if you get lonely boy you can just roll up a dutch and
Keep your head high
Wanna see home look at the sky
Remember you're not strange
But you are not the same mane
[Hook]
You gotta do it alone mane
You gotta do it alone
You gotta do it alone mane
Go on your own
It's bigger than you mane
It's bigger than you
It's bigger than you mane
Bigger Than You (Do It Alone) was written by Kid Cudi.
Bigger Than You (Do It Alone) was produced by Emile Haynie.
Emile, the producer of this song and longtime Cudi collaborator, had this to say:
I found Cudi browsing MySpace one day. He had ‘Day ‘n’ Nite’ on his MySpace and it had like, a few hundred listens. And I’m like, ‘Who the fuck is this? This song is a smash.
And I’m looking at his Top 8 friends, and...
