Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi

 
Album: Man on the Moon: The End of Day
Year: 2010
Genre: Trip Hop

Mood: Feel good or pick-me-upper

When I'm feeling down or things seem like they're not going my way, I turn to this song to comfort me.  Best lyric in the song that I can relate to is:

"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"

If i can have a song to best represent my outlook in like, this would be it.  My friends, we can not please each and every one in the world.  What we should keep in mind is we should please the most important person that matters: yourself.  Enjoy this one folks!

*PS. If you are not a fan of this slow shit, Steve Aoki did a remix of this song.

Lyrics:
"Pursuit of Happiness featuring Ratatat and MGMT"

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

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.
 
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

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

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
