Eazy

[Intro: G-Eazy & Ryan Lott]

(Easy, easy) Uh, yeah

(Pull out your heart to make the)

(Being alone) Yeah

(Easy) Yeah (Easy)

Talkin' to my younger self

(Pull out your heart to make the)

(Being alone) Yeah

[Verse 1: G-Eazy]

Dear Gerald, you're fourteen years and a truant

You're tryna find your place and figure out where you fit

You're finna start rappin' with a kid you went to school with

But, more on that later, right now you goin' through it

See, you gon' to have to prove that you ain't soft and you ain't stupid

And you gon' have to scrap with some kids that you ain't cool with

You got a short temper, just be careful when you lose it

You wanna be the man, but it's gon' take some time to prove it

You'll fall in love, but she gon' break your heart and put you through it

Fuck falling for that bullshit, you gon' fall in love with music

You're finna get arrested, almost fuck around and lose it

Spend days in juvy standing at the window, lookin' through it

Nothin' in life is promised, not even free time is

So, only chase dreams, and only chase commas

Won't happen on its own, trust, trust, we've been through it

If it was easy, everyone would do it, this game is not

[Chorus: G-Eazy & Ryan Lott]

(Easy) Uh (Easy), easy

(Pull out your heart to make the)

I mean, I was fucking up, I was (Being alone)

I was seventeen, I was eighteen, just doin' dumb shit (Easy)

My moms made me move to New Orleans and shit, I went to school down there on a scholarship (Easy)

I finally got my shit together, I started takin' music seriously (Pull out your heart to make the)

Then it started to kinda pop off for me, almost (Yeah, being alone, yeah)

[Verse 2: G-Eazy]

Dear Gerald, twenty-one, you think you got it figured out

Got a big head from them labels tryna bring you out

'Til they passed on you, they ain't see what they was missin' out

On, that flight home gave you some shit to think about

Scramblin', tryna figure out, went back to the drawin' board

Know they say rejection's only sposed to make you want it more

But no lie, you contemplating quitting, walkin' out the door

But what the fuck you sposed to do? This is all you're livin' for

Really, it was that and Dev, that was all you had

Payin' rent by engineerin' other rappers at the pad

Barely gettin' by, hella broke, you was doin' bad

Then "These Things" happened, you finally seen a bag

You drove down the highway, a fork in the road

A normal life with her, or goin' for broke?

I seen an open lane and then I drove straight through it

If it was easy, everyone would do it, this game is not

[Chorus: G-Eazy & Ryan Lott]

(Easy) You know (Easy)

I literally sold all my shit, I, I moved out of my place in New Orleans

(Pull out your heart to make the)

(Being alone)

I was bouncin' around, livin' out of a suitcase (Easy)

Crashin' on friends' couches, livin' at Airnnb's, hotels (Yeah)

(Easy) Tryna make the album (Yeah, uh)

Tryna make "When It's Dark Out" (Pull out your heart to make the)

Then take it there and be great (Being alone, yeah)

[Verse 3: G-Eazy]

Dear Gerald, life changed since you dropped your second album

And "Me, Myself & I" just went seven times platinum

Toured around the world, damn, you really had 'em

But now you're twenty-seven and it's time to be a legend

Back when it all started, grindin' hard on that promo tour

Tired from the night before, and the night before

And the night before, fuck it, tomorrow, gotta fly some more

Don't complain, this is what you signed up for, yeah

You're working for your family, managers, agents

They all want something different from you, tell 'em all, "Patience"

But this one's on you, the lonely quest to greatness

Been tryna be famous, been tryna be A-list

When you arrive, it will appear as if there's nothin' to it

But you planted the seeds and you grew it

There's people taking credit for success that they had nothin' to do with

If it was easy, everyone would do it, this game is not

[Chorus: G-Eazy & Ryan Lott]

(Easy) Ahem (Easy), easy

(Pull out your heart to make the)

Yeah (Being alone)

(Easy) So now you're here (Easy)

What you gon' do with it? You know?

(Pull out your heart to make the, yeah, uh)

(Being alone)

[Verse 4: G-Eazy]

Make no mistake, listen, it's the life that I was chosen for

All I prayed for was an open door

I been rich, I been broke before, I seen the floor

You try to put me in a box, I'll box out like Okafor (Buh, buh, buh)

And fuck bein' indecisive, now I'm so for sure

And fuck Trump, it's like, "What the fuck we voted for?"

And most of y'all should prolly party less and focus more

And if that line resonates, you're probably who I wrote it for

Uh, where will I go from here? IDK

They want me to architect Rome in a day

Juice knew I was greatness when he looked at me right away

I made platinum records that'll never see the light of day

Yeah, this is what the whole world been waitin' for

The crowd jumpin', goin' dumb 'til they break the floor

Come take a walk inside my mind, come and take a tour

I'm really not playin', what the fuck you take me for?

[Outro: G-Eazy & Ryan Lott]

(Easy) Uh-huh (Easy)

(Pull out your heart to make the) Where?

(Being alone) Where can I not

(Easy) Go? (Easy)

(Pull out your heart to make the)

(Being alone)

(Easy, easy)

(Easy, easy)
