With this album, Tyler, The Creator challenges the contemporary music industry while reflecting on his past and reconciling with his current version. Furthermore, through the sophisticated yet diverse approach to his music, he explores the relationship between American hip-hop and other musical genres such as soul and jazz, creating a complex world that speaks of his way of seeing himself over the years and also his way of understanding music.
In Noid, Tyler is shown wearing a mask, which symbolizes that more paranoid version of the artist as he frantically flees from threats and people that lead him to have an internal struggle about his relationship with fame and the search he carries out to achieve a balance between public life and his privacy.

Lyrics.-
Paranoid, paranoid, paranoid (ayy)
Things feel out of order
Look a, look around, I'm not sure, uh
Para-paranoia, you know (such a)
Feel it in my aura (woo)
Living between cameras and recorders, ah (woo)
Need, but can't afford ya, you know (such a)
Pobwela panyumba panga, uyenela ku nkala ndi ulemu (paranoia)
Chifukwa, ine sinifuna vokamba, kamba
Vokamba kamba vileta pa mulomo
(Wotangozi, wotangozi)
'Round, 'round (yeah)
'Round, 'round
Someone's keeping watch
I feel them on my shoulder
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' 'round (such a)
I can't even buy a home in private
Home invasions got my brothers dyin'
Notice every car that's drivin' by
I think my neighbors want me dead
I got a cannon underneath the bed
Triple checkin' if I locked the door
I know every creak that's in the floor
Motherfucker, I am paranoid (such a)
I loop around the block, eyes glued to the rearview
Rather double back than regret hearin', "Pew, pew"
Never trust a bitch, if you good, they could trap you
So just strap it up 'fore they fuck around and strap you, bitch
Pobwela panyumba panga, uyenela ku nkala ndi ulemu
Chifukwa, ine sinifuna vokamba, kamba
Vokamba kamba vileta pa mulomo
(Wotangozi, wotangozi)
Shadow
Shadow (yeah)
Shadow
Someone's keeping watch
I feel them in my shadow (shadow)
Someone's keeping a watch (watchin', watchin')
(Such a)
Someone's keeping watch
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel it
Don't trust these people out here
Please, whatever you do keep to yourself
Keep your business to yourself
Don't even trust these motherfuckin' accountants
'Cause they will try to get over on you, okay?
Please, because I don't wanna have to fuck nobody up
I promise to God
Don't it seem so good? Ooh, ooh (oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Don't it feel it so good (Oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
To love? (oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Left shoulder, right shoulder (don't it feel so good? oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Left shoulder, look
Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look (oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Watch your surroundings (oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Who's at my window? My window, who's at my window? (Oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Who's at my window? (Okay, okay, okay, oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
Who's at my window? (yeah)
No cameras out, please, I wanna eat in peace (paranoid)
Don't wanna take pictures with you niggas or bitches
Nervous system is shook way before nineteen
L.A.'ll do that to you, where you from, nigga? Who you?
Satellite (satellite), screenshot (noid), paparazzi (noid), NDA (noid)
Privacy? Yeah right, I got a better shot in the NBA
Ain't no respect for nothin', voice recordin' all discussions
Her, him, they, them, or anybody, I don't trust 'em at, at all (noid)
Some pray for my fall (noid), hearin' clicks on the calls (noid)
Niggas actin' for some rough drafts
Bitches lookin' for a buff bag
Risk that for some jaw, noggin
You sing along, but you don't know me, nigga
Nah, never ever, not at all
Y'all niggas crossed the line, like fuck the stop sign (noid)
They wonder where I close my eyes at, I keep my eyes wide
On God, this shit cooked, brodie
Look, brodie (noid), handshakes got me shook, brodie
Niggas want info 'bout me (read a motherfuckin')
Read a book on me, uh
Leave me alone, leave me alone (don't it feel so good?)
Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look
Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look (don't it feel so good)
Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look (to love?)
Fuck you want? (Baby, I'm paranoid)
Leave me alone, what you want?
Leave me alone, what you want?
(Who's at my window? My window)
Leave me alone (who's at my window?)
Fuck, damn (who's at my window?)
Paranoid
