About This Track
'Been On' arrives from G-Eazy's 'These Things Happen', a track built on the familiar mechanics of competitive rap boasting but delivered with a particular West Coast swagger. The production stays minimal, the better to foreground the artist's rapid-fire catalogue of put-downs and status markers: all-black outfits, arena shows, the claim that he's operating in a different league whilst rivals are still playing wiffle ball. The lyrics adopt the voice of someone who has already lapped the field, dismissing slower thinkers and late arrivals with a mixture of impatience and casual disdain. G-Eazy frames himself as forward-thinking, focused on revenue rather than distractions, his team eating off the same plate whilst others scramble for opportunities he's already declined. The chorus hammers the central conceit: everything you're trying, he's been on. It's a posture of entitlement dressed up as earned confidence, the kind of track that works best when the listener is already convinced of the premise. The venom G-Eazy promises in the second verse lands more as smirk than bite, but the relentless self-assurance holds the song together.
"Been On" is a track by G-Eazy, from the album These Things Happen, released 23rd June 2014. Full lyrics are available below.
