About This Track

Released as a promotional single in October 2015, 'Random' finds G-Eazy pushing back against any suggestion that his success arrived by accident. The track doubles as a motivational statement and a dismissal of detractors, built around the repeated insistence that. It's a fight song in the most literal sense, performed at every show to pump up both artist and audience. The lyrics catalogue the trappings of success – vintage Jordans, talk of Phantoms, global touring routes from California to Illinois – whilst G-Eazy frames his work ethic as the engine behind it all. He raps about stacking money rather than blowing it, practising his craft, and rejecting the idea that any of this happened by chance. The tone is confrontational, the delivery blunt, the message unambiguous: hours and passion, not luck. The track appeared on 'When It's Dark Out', his album from the same period, a record that also yielded the Bebe Rexha collaboration 'Me, Myself & I'. Here, though, the focus is narrower and more combative, a declaration of intent dressed as an anthem.

"Random" is a track by G-Eazy, from the album When It’s Dark Out, released 29th October 2015. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Random

[Intro]

Young Gerald, uh

[Chorus]

This is the anthem

Told the world I need everything and some, yeah

Two girls, that's a tandem

She gon' do it all for me when them bands come

Got it all, yeah, I'm young, rich, and handsome

Uh, this shit is not random

Everybody ain't got it, understand, son

Yeah, this shit is not random

[Verse 1]

Woah, okay

It's my world and I do what I like to

I know she gon' be ready when I slide through

If you forgot I got it, I'll remind you (Remind you)

'Cause I got what they got, I'm talkin' times two

Disagree with me and you've been lied to

I am nothing like you, and no, I'm not the type to

Follow bullshit y'all give the hype to

I can see the fakes, so when I look in your direction

Understand I'm seein' right through

You're hollow, you follow?

Everybody's not the real McCoy

Worldwide, yeah, they feel the boy

California out to Georgia, Florida, then up to Illinois

When I listen to your music, I just feel annoyed

Haters, I don't understand 'em

Bred Jordan ones from 2001 (OG)

Today I think I want a Phantom

If I don't get it, I'ma throw a fuckin' tantrum, woah

[Chorus]

This is the anthem

Told the world I need everything and some, yeah

Two girls, that's a tandem

She gon' do it all for me when them bands come

Got it all, yeah, I'm young, rich, and handsome

This shit is not random (Nope)

Everybody ain't got it, understand, son (Sorry)

Yeah, this shit is not random

[Verse 2]

Now imagine it, put the hours in and stayed passionate

Wasn't blowin' money, I was stackin' it

Figured what the fuck I want to do in life and practiced it

Pay attention, none of this is happenin' by accident

Listen, I don't slack a bit

Game plan's solid, no cracks in it

Said I want a billion now, nothing less is adequate

Grab a check, cashin' it

I was born addicted to the money

Difference now, I finally found a way to manage it

What you think I'm paid for, nothin'?

You must be mistakin' someone

I had to go make that fundin'

I'm tryna be great at somethin'

Spend, not saving nothin'

Flyin' from the Bay to London

They say money talks but you ain't saying nothin', shh

Now try and shade me, I'm like, "I guess"

Why yes, you drive a Toyota, please define flex

Sign CDs and I sign breasts

Understand, to these female fans, I'm sex

Listen

[Chorus]

This is the anthem

Told the world I need everything and some, yeah

Two girls, that's a tandem

She gon' do it all for me when them bands come

I got it all, yeah I'm young, rich, and handsome

This shit is not random

Everybody ain't got it, understand, son

Yeah, this shit is not random
