About This Track

A light-hearted boast track from G-Eazy's 2015 album 'When It's Dark Out', built around a looped vocal hook and a two-minute runtime. The rapper describes the song as a deliberate tonal shift within a largely introspective record, intended to talk confidently and have fun rather than dwell in minor-key reflection.

G-Eazy claims chart longevity for his previous work, references Bay Area hyphy culture, and adopts a posture of unshakeable self-belief. The verses namecheck contemporary celebrity culture and assert his place in the lineage of prominent white rappers, whilst the refrain loops a simple affirmation of hard work. The production stays minimal and the mood stays brash, a brief interlude of swagger on an otherwise darker album.

"Calm Down" is a track by G-Eazy, from the album When It’s Dark Out, released 4th December 2015. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Calm Down

[Intro]

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

[Verse 1]

I've been sitting on the charts like a beach chair

My last album spent 52 weeks there

Almost finished with the second, you should be scared

Storms coming you should go inside and prepare

No shortcuts, there ain't no cheats there

I brought the whole city out like a street fair, yeah

And fuck it, I'm the coldest white rapper in the game

Since the one with the bleached hair

Yeah, you love it when I talk shit

I get around, yeah I'm on my 2Pac shit

I kinda feel there's no girl I could not get

I'm not found at the function if it's not lit

Yeah, it's nothing that no one can tell me

I made it here dolo, nobody to help me

From the Bay, the birthplace of the hyphy

So bitch, come and say to my face you don't like me

[Hook]

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

[Verse 2]

It's like I'm always found where the troubles at

Drinking brown shit, now I'm off a cup of that

Your girl's on me, what's up with that?

If I like her, all this shit will really take is a double tap

Having visions of fucking an A-list singer, Kardashian, or a Jenner

But Ye's got Kim, Tyga swooped up Kylie

So there's one left watch me go get her

Yeah, they tell me calm down

Fuck that I'm too lit can't calm down

I'm so drunk right now I might fall down

And I don't give a fuck how boring do y'all sound

Up and down on a Wednesday

Then we do the same shit the next day

The next star out the Bay is Eazy

Yadadamean? For sho'

Yadadamean? For sheezy

[Hook]

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

[Outro]

My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?
