Easy, easy
Pull out your heart to make the being alone (yeah)
Easy, easy (talkinâ to my younger self)
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Dear Gerald, youâre fourteen years and a truant
Youâre trying to find your place, and figure out where you fit
Youâre finna start rappinâ with a kid you went to school with
But, more on that later, right now youâre going through it
See, youâre going to have to prove that you ain't soft and youâre not stupid
And you gonâ have to scrap with some kids that you ainât cool with
You got a short temper, just be careful when you lose it
You wanna be the man, but itâs gonâ take some time to prove it
Youâll fall in love, but sheâs gonâ break your heart and put you through it
Fuck falling for that bullshit, you gonâ fall in love with music
Youâre finna get arrested, almost fuck around and lose it
Spend days in juvy standing at the window, looking through it
Nothing in life is promised, not even free-time is
So, only chase dreams, and only chase commas
Wonât happen on its own, trust, trust, weâve been through it
If it was easy, everyone would do it
This game is notâ¦
Easy, easy (Eazy)
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Easy, easy
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
My moms made me move to New Orleans and shit
I went to school down there on a scholarship
I finally got my shit together, I started taking music seriously
Then it started to kinda pop off a little bit, almost
Dear Gerald, 21, you think youâve got it figured out
Got a big head from them labels trying to bring you out
'Til they passed on you, they ainât see what they was missing out
On, that flight home gave you some shit to think about
Scrambling trying to figure out, went back to the drawing board
Know they say rejectionâs only supposed to make you want it more
But, no lie, you contemplating quitting, walking out the door
But, what the fuck you supposed to do? This is all youâre living for
Really it was that and Dev, that was all you had
Paying rent by engineering other rappers at the pad
Barely getting by, hella broke, you was doing bad
Then âThese Things Happenedâ, you finally seen a bag
You drove down the highway, a fork in the road
A normal life with her, or going for broke?
I seen an open lane and I drove straight through it
If it was easy, everyone would do it
This game is notâ¦
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
I literally sold all my shit
I moved out of my place in New Orleans
I was bouncing around, living out of a suitcase
Crashing on friendsâ couches
Living at air B&Bs and hotels
Trying to make the album
Trying to make When Itâs Dark Out
If I could take it there, thatâd be great
Dear Gerald, life changed since you dropped your second album
And Me, Myself & I just went 7x Platinum
Toured around the world, damn, you really had âem
But now youâre 27 and itâs time to be a legend
Back when it all started, grinding 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
Donât complain, this is what you signed up for
Youâre working for your family, managers, agents
They all want something different from you, tell them all patience
But, this oneâs on you, the lonely quest of greatness
Been trying to be famous, been trying to be A-list
When you arrive, it will appear as if thereâs nothing to it
But, you planted the seeds and you grew it
Thereâs people taking credit for success that they had nothing to do with
If it was easy, everyone would do it
This game is notâ¦
Easy, easy (Eazy)
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
So now youâre here
What you gonâ do with it?
You know?
Make no mistake, listen itâs the life that I was chosen for
All I prayed for was an open door
Iâve been rich, Iâve been broke before
Iâve seen the floor
You try to put me in a box, Iâll box out like Lepore
And fuck being indecisive now Iâm so for sure
And fuck Trump, itâs like âWhat the fuck we voted for?â
And most of yâall should probably party less and focus more
And if that line resonates, youâre probably who I wrote it for
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, Iâve made platinum records thatâll never see the light of day
This is what the whole worldâs been waiting for
The crowdâs jumping, going dumb till they break the floor
Come take a walk inside my mind, come and take a tour
Iâm really not playing, what the fuck you take me for?
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
Easy, easy
Pull out your heart to make the being alone
