"Reborn" is the fifth track from KIDS SEE GHOSTS (Kanye West and Kid Cudi)'s debut studio album, KIDS SEE GHOSTS (2018).[1][2][3]

It is an uplifting song about moving on from past mistakes and situations in their life, such as Kanye West's controversial comments on TMZ and Kid Cudi's time at rehab "for depression and suicidal urges."[4][5]

Background[]

Cudi said that he "immediately" wrote the chorus, but it took a while to write any verses because it was "so good".[6] At this point, the song belonged to Kid Cudi and had a feature from Desiigner.[7] The song was first previewed at the KIDS SEE GHOSTS listening party in California, albeit with slightly different mixing.

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Hmm, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Hey, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

[Chorus]
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward

[Bridge]
Hmm, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Hey, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

[Verse 1]
Very rarely do you catch me out
Y'all done "specially invited guest"'d me out
Y'all been tellin' jokes that's gon' stress me out
Soon as I walk in, I'm like, "Let's be out"
I was off the chain, I was often drained
I was off the meds, I was called insane
What a awesome thing, engulfed in shame
I want all the rain, I want all the pain
I want all the smoke, I want all the blame
Cardio audio, let me jog your brain
Caught in the Audy Home, we was all detained
All of you Mario, it's all a game

[Chorus]
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward

[Verse 2]
I had my issues, ain't that much I could do
Peace is somethin' that starts with me (With me)
At times, wonder my purpose
Easy then to feel worthless
But, peace is somethin' that starts with me (With me, with me)
Had so much on my mind, I didn't know where to go
I've come a long way from them hauntin' me
Had me feelin' oh so low
Ain't no stoppin' you, no way
Oh, things ain't like before
Ain't no stoppin' you, no way
No stress yes, I'm so blessed and—

[Chorus]
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward

[Bridge]
(Movin' forward, movin' forward, movin' forward)
Movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Something was wrong (Keep movin' forward)
Couldn't hold on, why? (Keep movin' forward)
So long (Keep movin' forward)
Sit here in this storm (Keep movin' forward)
Time goes on (Keep movin' forward)
Really couldn't find my way out (Keep movin' forward)
Of the storm (Keep movin' forward)
Which way do I go?

[Chorus]
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward (Which way do I go?)
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward (Which way do I go?)
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward (Which way do I go?)
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
I'm so—I'm so reborn, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
Ain't no stress on me Lord, I'm movin' forward
Keep movin' forward, keep movin' forward
