Pursuit Of Happiness Poem By Kid Cuudi

Happiness

In life sometimes almost every person goes through troubled times and must make difficult choices that create big effects on your life. In the song lyric, “Pursuit of Happiness” written by Kid Cudi, he explains the struggles of fame and fortune and the problems that come up while trying to find his own way in life during tough times. In the first stanza it says, “I’mma do just what I want, looking ahead no turning no turning back, if I fall, if I die, know I lived it to the fullest”. He explains that he wants to live life to the fullest, without regrets and that if he were to die, he would know that he lived his life the way he wanted to, to the fullest extent
Here he tries to show that everyone dreams but not equally and not always to the same extent as someone else. He also discourages the critics that attempt to understand what he raps about when in reality; they do not have the slightest idea. During the final stanza, it says, “You don’t really care about the trails of tomorrow, rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow.” Here he connects to the ones that think they know what he’s going through. He points out that these people ignore their future and just lay feeling sorry for themselves. While Cudi has chosen to no longer stay stuck in bed ignorant of the things ahead of him and will further into his own pursuit of happiness. The chorus is, “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”. This explains Kid Cudi’s journey on attempting to find his own good way in life and while he parties, drinks, and smokes, the things that might seem great and glamorous, is not always going to be satisfying to him and the people he cares
