The sound of this song was inspired by one of rock’s most famous tunes. Cudi told Complex:
I was listening to Cream one day, I was listening to “White Room” [sings intro]. I was like, man, that shit is so beautiful and so powerful. Man, I love that opening. And I was like, you know what, I’m go...
[Verse 1]
This is important, y'all
So please turn it up, real loud
I got a question that I need you to answer, now
If you walked in my shoes, would you survive?
If you said yeah, then I'mma call you a liar
You see, I don't believe your words
Most people are pussies
Scared to be what God had made them to be
[Chorus]
There's someone high up in the sky looking out for all of us
Yeaaaa mmhhmmm, in the upper room
I don't believe in miracles, no
I do believe in fate, I do believe in destiny
[Verse 2]
This is important, y'all
So please turn it up if you can
I have matured so much, the boy has became a man
Finally I can say I'm feeling proper
No need to worry, I'm a happy new me
Cause I know
[Chorus]
There's someone high up in the sky looking out for all of us
Yeaaaa mmhhmmm, in the upper room
I don't believe in miracles, no
I do believe in fate, I do believe in destiny
[Outro]
Most people are pussies
