[Intro: G-Eazy]

You know, Statik Selektah, uh

Young Gerald

Shout out Mike (Shout, shout)

Let's go (Statik Selektah)

Yeah

[Verse: G-Eazy]

It's been a minute since I took some time

To just chill and hit the lab alone

Normally tag-alongs tag along

So pardon me in case I babble on

No matter what beat that I'm rapping

Just give me a mic, turn the Apple on

Was doubting myself in the lab

I forgot who I was until I put These Things Happen on

My demons are deep in the dark now

My angels are playing the harp now

I split it and break the cigar down

I'm chilling just playing my part now

We're ten thousand miles from the start now

We'rе ten thousand hours apart now

I trust myself, went with my instincts

I followеd it, look what my heart found

2006 we taking Bart down

To downtown hittin' licks when it's dark out

Until I got locked up and caught now

With my bro like "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Fast forward and I'm a big star now

Spider-Man climbing the charts now

You don't put no fear in me

Nobody lyrically near to me making my heart pound

I know I'm highly unusual

I know sometimes I'm confusing you

Talking fast, hope I'm not losing you

Like "Rappidy-rappidy, bloo-doo-doo"

This industry's crazy if you only knew

About half the shit they try to do to you

It's not many people who know me, like really the real me

There's only a few of you

Whole lot of yes-men around me

Telling me "Yeah, that shit's fire, bro"

Trust I can tell when you lying though

You work for me, you could get fired, bro

My phone ringing, I got a higher calling

I'm high but I'm tryna climb higher though

I work so much they thinking I'm a robot

Different, it's just how I'm wired though

50K just for the charter jet

Gulfstream, this ain't no starter jet

Aim for the stars, see how far you get

But you ain't Drake, you ain't the Cartier

Followed the blueprints Shawn Carter set

Draw it out loud like an architect

But sometimes when I go compare myself

I feel like I ain't even started yet, fuck

Writing this verse while I'm pacing this rug

In it for life, ain't no faking it's love

They wonder why Gerald stays in the club

But if this shit gets you high then I'm taking this drug

Therapist said there's a hole in my chest

I hope one day I'll finally replace it with love

They said that this shit gon' come back to bite you

Be careful, karma's impatient instead

[Outro Scratches]

Had a dream, I'm a dreamer

When I focus on reality

Had a dream of living wealthy and making it big

I'm a dreamer

Had a dream of living wealthy and making it big

I'm a dreamer
