Too Bad I Have to Destroy You Now Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmmmhmmmmm, yeah, mmmhmmmhmmm

[Chorus]
People talk shit 'bout me
Deep down they knowin' they ain't right
Hmm, when I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes
When I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes

People talk shit 'bout me, and they know that I know
And they also knowin' they ain't right
Hmm, when I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes
'Cause when I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes

[Verse]
Rejuvenated, recreated, rebooted, in a new program
Prada calf’s, black skinnies, T and hoody
Y’all niggas know the brand, GQ mustachin’ I’m in LA
Soaking up the sun and I’m laughing, what can I say?

I love the way the fans say they love me
I know it’s all because my God above me
But damn I’m feeling like Sam
Except my daddy ain’t stuck up no video game

Things changed, for the good
He watched my back until the world started knowin’ my name
This should be in the Bible
Middle finger up to the people who don’t like you
Who have no valid reason to say they never liked you
We don’t give a fuck fam
So what?! We never liked you niggas anyway
Pardon my wizard talk, but I’m elevated
No drank, no tree and I’m levitated

I got my own empire, I’m the baby
I ain’t taking care of nobody but my daughter and my mom
Places to go cause I need to build a travel log
I travel while you jake niggas run a blog
Now run along, I got some shit that needs posting
While I’m winnin’ livin’ life, skippin’ grinnin’ on em
All hail King Wizard in the fuckin’ house
Been chill for a minute quiet as a mouse
Now I got the juice, call me Bishop when you see me round
I be showin’ love, showin’ love baby, dap and pound
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, mmmhmmmmm, yeah, mmmhmmmhmmm

[Chorus]
People talk shit 'bout me
Deep down they knowin' they ain't right
Hmm, when I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes
When I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes

People talk shit 'bout me, and they know that I know
And they also knowin' they ain't right
Hmm, when I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes
'Cause when I walk in the room, they can't look in my eyes

[Bridge]
Truth comes to the light all the time
You can’t hide from fate, you can’t hide
Truth comes to the light all the time
You can’t hide from fate, you can’t hide
Truth comes to the light all the time
You can’t hide from fate, you can’t hide

[Outro]
Thought you were my brother, I thought you were
Thought you were my sister, I thought you were
Thought you were my homie, I thought you were
So absurd

Thought you were my brother, I thought you were
Thought you were my sister, I thought you were
Thought you were my homie, I thought you were
So absurd
I am a person with powers, I possess the power
You can’t hide, see me shine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Returning to rap and a cadence he championed earlier on in his career, “Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now” finds Cudi doubting the sincerity of others and exhibiting his awareness of the duplicity of those he sometimes finds himself associated with.

His re-emergence and a throwback to his earlier style over a spacey, experimental instrumental are explained in an interview with Complex, which notes Cudi’s tendency to only rap when truly inspired.

I have a bunch of powers but unfortunately I cannot write raps unless I’m ultimately fueled to write a rap, and it happens every so often. When it does happen it happens in the way of a “Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now.” Where I’ve been waiting to unleash and I finally have and even though you haven’t heard many raps from me, it’s just enough to have you satisfied. Also, I aim for timeless. That’s always a goal.

Sampling “The Son of Flynn” by Daft Punk, “Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now” was at one point intended to be a collaborative effort with Kanye West, entitled “Can’t Look Into My Eyes.”
