Pursuit of Happiness (Feat. MGMT, Ratatat) Lyrics
Kid Cudi
[VERSE 1:]
Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
Feelin' lit feelin' light, 2 am summer night.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin' my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin' my life getting' out dreams
People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out fuck that
Imma do just what I want lookin' ahead no turnin' back
if I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest
if I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets
[CHORUS]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
[x2]
[VERSE 2:]
Tell me what you know about dreamin' dreamin'
you don't really know about nothin' nothin'
tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin' up to the skies
tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin'
you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow
[CHORUS:]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good
[x2]
[Guitar Solo]
[CHORUS:]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness.
I know everything that shines ain't always gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good
I'm on the pursuit of happiness
And I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold, hey
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah
I'll be good
Pursuit of happiness, yeah
I don't get it, I'll be good
Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
Feelin' lit feelin' light, 2 am summer night.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin' my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin' my life getting' out dreams
People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out fuck that
Imma do just what I want lookin' ahead no turnin' back
if I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest
if I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets
[CHORUS]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
