What Parents Need to Know

About "Day 'N' Nite" (CD single)

Parents need to know that this song revolves around using drugs as a means of escaping difficult emotions like depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Though Kid Cudi refrains from using graphic language, the bleak, drug-related lyrics send a grim message.

    Jesus, there's nothing wrong with this song. COMMON SENSE is right, use it, and you won't need this ridiculous over-the-top website. Kids who don't understand the bad stuff will just listen to the music, or maybe they should understand it, so they ease into this world, rather than try and make an entrance. You CAN'T stop people from hearing things, you CAN'T change the crappy environment that we are now surrounded in, so we have to adapt to it. Stop trying to avoid it, that won't help. You know what the kids should be around, and they should to!

    Great rap song

    this is a great clean rap song i think its great. besides talking about drugs i think he's more putting drugs down then uplifting them in this song. its great for any kids who are into rap and a song parents don't have to worry about them listening to.
