Don’t you think it’s strange that you have to distance yoursel f(by looking in the mirror) to see your own self better?

You have to get a different perspective on who you are even though you are you and therefore should have the best concept of who you actually are.

Cudi feels that all his actions detailed in this verse — being “cold blooded”, insulting his doubters, abusing drugs — will lead him to Hell, but he doesn’t care

“@_bey0ndstars: When cudi says "ahhh my leggg" at the end of burn baby burn lmfao @ducidni” it was Chippppp @chip216 haha we stay clownin

Cudi lives like he has a shotgun with him at all times. He lives risky but feels protected as if he had a pump, shotgun, with him at all times. Of course, he probably doesn’t really, but he feels invincible as if he did

After the last hook, there is a sample that Cudi flipped and distorted from The Good Son with Macaulay Culkin saying “Don’t f-ck with me. F-ck with me. Don’t, don’t f-ck with me. F-ck with me”

When Cudi’s father died when Cudi was just eleven, Cudder had to take over and become the man of the house

One of multiple times on Indicud that Cudi makes a similar claim to this

He’s the man on the moon… Of course he’s not Earthly

Swiss Kriss is a laxative (makes you have to go), so Cudi’s substantiating the first part of the line

A litmus test in psychology refers to how when you feel down you usually act accordingly. Someone who is experiencing euphoria will act on a much higher level than someone who is experiencing depression.

This leads to the second part of the line: everyone knows that working out when you are down is one of the best solutions to get you going again. Now his, “Life is good, I live everyday like Christmas”

A litmus test is also a test for acidity in chemistry. So this line fits with the next one about citrus because citrus is acidic. The “litmus test” has been notoriously used as a term to gauge whether or not something is legit. This happened, as the litmus paper (used to determine basic or acidity) was used so often it became a symbol of quality, because it never failed…much like RZA.
