Eazy lyrics
Easy, easyPull out your heart to make the being alone (yeah)Easy, easy (talkin’ to my younger self)Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Dear Gerald, you’re fourteen years and a truantYou’re trying to find your place, and figure out where you fitYou’re finna start rappin’ with a kid you went to school withBut more on that later, right now you’re going through itSee, you’re going to have to prove that you ain’t soft and you’re not stupidAnd you gon’ have to scrap with some kids that you ain’t cool withYou got a short temper, just be careful when you lose itYou wanna be the man, but it’s gon’ take some time to prove itYou’ll fall in love, but she’s gon’ break your heart and put you through itFuck falling for that bullshit, you gon’ fall in love with musicYou’re finna get arrested, almost fuck around and lose itSpend days in juvie standing at the window, looking through itNothing in life is promised, not even free-time isSo, only chase dreams, and only chase commasWon’t happen on its own, trust, trust, we’ve been through it
If it was easy, everyone would do it
This game is not
Easy, easy (Eazy)Pull out your heart to make the being alone (I mean, I was fucking up)(I was seventeen, I was eighteen, just doing 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 taking music seriously)Pull out your heart to make the being alone(Then it started to kinda pop off a little bit, almost)
Dear Gerald, 21, you think you’ve got it figured outGot a big head from them labels trying to bring you out‘Til they passed on you, they ain’t see what they was missing outOn, that flight home gave you some shit to think aboutScrambling trying to figure out, went back to the drawing boardKnow they say rejection’s only supposed to make you want it moreBut, no lie, you contemplating quitting, walking out the doorBut, what the fuck you supposed to do? This is all you’re living forReally it was that and Dev, that was all you hadPaying rent by engineering other rappers at the padBarely getting by, hella broke, you was doing badThen “These Things Happened”, you finally seen a bagYou drove down the highway, a fork in the roadA normal life with her, or going 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
Easy, (You know) easy (I literally sold all my shit)Pull out your heart to make the being alone (I moved out of my place in New Orleans)(I was bouncing around, living out of a suitcase)Easy (Crashing on friends’ couches)(Living at Airbnbs and hotels)Easy (Trying to make the album)Pull out your heart to make the being alone (Tryna make When It’s Dark Out)(If I could take it there, it’d be great, yeah)
Dear Gerald, life changed since you dropped your second albumAnd Me, Myself & I just went seven times platinumToured around the world, damn, you really had ’emBut now you’re 27 and it’s time to be a legendBack when it all started, grinding hard on that promo tourTired from the night before and the night before and the night beforeFuck it, tomorrow, gotta fly some moreDon’t complain, this is what you signed up for, yeahYou’re working for your family, managers, agentsThey all want something different from you, tell them all patienceBut, this one’s on you, the lonely quest of greatnessBeen trying to be famous, been trying to be A-listWhen you arrive, it will appear as if there’s nothing to itBut, you planted the seeds and you grew itThere’s people taking credit for success that they had nothing to do with
If it was easy, everyone would do it
This game is not
Easy, easy (Eazy)Pull out your heart to make the being aloneEasy (So now you’re here)Easy (What you gon’ do with it?)(You know?)Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Make no mistake, listen it’s the life that I was chosen forAll I prayed for was an open doorI’ve been rich, I’ve been broke beforeI’ve seen the floorYou try to put me in a box, I’ll box out like LeporeAnd fuck being indecisive now I’m so for sureAnd fuck Trump, it’s like “What the fuck we voted for?”And most of y’all should probably party less and focus moreAnd if that line resonates, you’re probably who I wrote it forWhere will I go from here? “IDK”They want me to architect Rome, in a dayJuice knew I was greatness when he looked at meRight away, I’ve made platinum records that’ll never see the light of dayThis is what the whole world’s been waiting forThe crowd’s jumping, going dumb till they break the floorCome take a walk inside my mind, come and take a tourI’m really not playing, what the fuck you take me for?
Easy, easyPull out your heart to make the being aloneEasy, easyPull out your heart to make the being aloneEasyEasyEasyEasy
