G-Eazy - When It's Dark Out Album Lyrics

---

Intro

Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Though wise men at their end know dark is right
Because their words had forked no lightning they
They do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Random

Young Gerald, uh

This is the anthem
Told the world I need everything and some, yeah
Two girls that's a tandem
She gon' do all it for me when them bands come
Got it all, yeah I am young, rich, and handsome
Uh, this shit is not random
Everybody ain't got it, understand son, yeah
This shit is not random
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
Cause I got what they got I am talking 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 seeing 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 them
Bred Jordan Ones from two thousand and one (OG)
Today I think I want a Phantom
If I don't get it I'ma throw a f*cking tantrum, woah

This is the anthem
Told the world I need everything and some, yeah
Two girls that's a tandem
She gon' do it 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)
This shit is not random

Now imagine it, put the hours in and stay passionate
Wasn't blowing money, I was stacking it
Figured what the f*ck I want to do in life and practiced it
Pay attention, none of this is happening by accident
Listen, I don't slack a bit
Game plan solid, no cracks in it
Said I want a billion now nothing less is adequate
Grab and check, cashing it
I was born addicted to the money
Difference is now if finally found a way to manage it
What you think I'm paid for nothing?
You must be mistaken someone
I had to go make that fund and I'm trying to be great at something
Spend not saving nothing
Flying from the bay to London
They say that money talks but you're not saying nothing
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...

This is the anthem
Told the world I need everything and some, yeah
Two girls that's a tandem
She gon' do it 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
This shit is not random

Me, Myself & I

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
Oh, it's just me, myself and I
Solo ride until I die
Cause I got me for life
(Got me for life, yeah)
Oh I don't need a hand to hold
Even when the night is cold
I got that fire in my soul

[G-Eazy:]
And as far as I can see I just need privacy
Plus a whole lot of tree, f*ck all this modesty
I just need space to do me get a world that they're tryna see
A Stella Maxwell right beside of me
A Ferrari I'm buyin' three
A closet of Saint Laurent, get what I want when I want
Cause this hunger is driving me, yeah
I just need to be alone, I just need to be at home
Understand what I'm speaking on if time is money I need a loan
But regardless I'll always keep keepin' on
F*ck fake friends, we don't take L's we just make M's
While y'all follow, we just make trends
I'm right back to work when that break ends

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
Oh, it's just me, myself and I
Solo ride until I die
Cause I got me for life
(Got me for life, yeah)
Oh I don't need a hand to hold
Even when the night is cold
I got that fire in my soul

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
I don't need anything to get me through the night
Except the beat that's in my heart
Yeah, it's keeping me alive
(Keeps me alive)
I don't need anything to make me satisfied (you know)
Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time

[G-Eazy:]
Yeah, and I don't like talking to strangers
So get the f*ck off me I'm anxious
I'm tryna be cool but I may just go ape shit
Say "f*ck y'all" to all of y'all faces
It changes though now that I'm famous
Everyone knows how this lifestyle is dangerous
But I love it the rush is amazing
Celebrate nightly and everyone rages
I found how to cope with my anger
I'm swimming in money
Swimming in liquor my liver is muddy
But it's all good I'm still sippin' this bubbly
This shit is lovely, this shit ain't random, I didn't get lucky
Made it right here cause I'm sick with it Cudi
They all take the money for granted
But don't want to work for it tell me now, isn't it funny? nah

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
Oh, it's just me, myself and I
Solo ride until I die
Cause I got me for life
(Got me for life, yeah)
Oh I don't need a hand to hold
Even when the night is cold
I got that fire in my soul

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
I don't need anything to get me through the night
Except the beat that's in my heart
Yeah, it's keeping me alive
(Keeps me alive)
I don't need anything to make me satisfied (you know)
Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
Like ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba (Yee!)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba
Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time

[G-Eazy:]
Yeah, lonely nights I laid awake
Pray to lord, my soul to take
My heart's become too cold to break
Know I'm great but I'm broke as hell
Having dreams that I'm folding cake
All my life I've been told to wait
But I'mma get it now, yeah it's no debate
Yeah

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
Oh, it's just me, myself and I
Solo ride until I die
Cause I got me for life
(Got me for life, yeah)
Oh I don't need a hand to hold
Even when the night is cold
I got that fire in my soul

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]
I don't need anything to get me through the night
Except the beat that's in my heart
Yeah, it's keeping me alive
(Keeps me alive)
I don't need anything to make me satisfied (you know)
Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time

[Bebe Rexha:]
Like ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba

One Of Them

I seen that big house, I need one of them
I seen that Lambo, I need one of them
I seen them PJ's, I need one of them
I see them bad bitches, got tons of them
I seen them Rollies, I need one of them
I see them Grammys, I need one of them
I seen them millions, I need some of them
See normal people, I'm not one of them
Sorry, sorry, see normal people I'm not one of them

The first time I seen that Farrari in person
I said "yeah, I want that I'm certain"
And this bus pass I've got, yeah this shit's just not working
The world sees me one way
I look in the mirror and see a whole other person
F*ck normal, if you don't agree, I ignore you
I'm blowing this money, f*ck being resourceful
I'm here for war and of course I'll go get it
I get it, I feel like I walked through a portal
I'm here, I'm winning, bitch look at the scoreboard
I score more, I tour more, think twice
Are you sure you're more popping?
Popping champagne and I pour more
I get what I want and then I just want more, more
Yeah, greedy as hell, I'm not satisfied...
See now that I have this new status I
Don't even have to try
I feeling this mastermind

I seen that big house, I need one of them
I seen that Lambo, I need one of them
I seen them PJ's, I need one of them
I see them bad bitches, got tons of them
I seen them Rollies, I need one of them
I see them Grammys, I need one of them
I seen them millions, I need some of them
See normal people, I'm not one of them
Sorry, sorry, see normal people I'm not one of them

I am materialistic
I want all these things that I never had growing up
Things that I can get now that I got paper
Like her, I take her
I seen them big houses like "I wanna stay there"
Could not have felt it if you've never seen
I want to marry Cara Delevingne
My closet is full of that Bape and Supreme
I'm with your girl in my world we're gone off the heem
I want all the dumb shit that money can buy
You're reaching bruh you got no bitches you're dry
You posers you kill me like f*ck you just die
What the f*ck do you do this for I wonder why
I cannot fathom, she she's a bad one
With friends with her too damn, I just got to have them
Three songs a day every one I'm on spazzing
This shit is not random, I told you

I seen that big house, I need one of them
I seen that Lambo, I need one of them
I seen them PJ's, I need one of them
I see them bad bitches, got tons of them
I seen them Rollies, I need one of them
I see them Grammys, I need one of them
I seen them millions, I need some of them
See normal people, I'm not one of them
Sorry, sorry, see normal people I'm not one of them

[Big Sean:]
Straight Up
Started off getting overlooked man
Turned this shit into overbooked, man
Niggas got problems, niggas got beef
Send it back to 'em like it's overcooked
Makes sense all about the benjis
No other option but to win G
My role model Oprah Winfrey
Go and against the team you gon' be win free
I'm on the Anakadama man comma comma comma
Counting everything except the counterfeit
Even change, yeah niggas say I change
I just take that as a compliment
Thank you very little, plain and simple
I don't think we'll ever, ever, ever fizzle
Got it going up, incremental
Treat a bitch like a rental
Get it to the paper, pen and pencil
Gone

Drifting

[Tory Lanez:]
Got this flight to London, I ain't pop no Xans for it
In case you was wonderin', I ain't even plan for it
I just left L.A, barely caught the plane
F*ckin' TSA, swear a nigga ran for it
Ain't used to this fame shit
This you-all-know-my-name-shit
Me, I'm just the same kid
That f*cked around and made it
F*cked over my main chick
Damn she was the main chick
Thinkin' 'bout the game
I shouldn't have played, but I played it

[Hook - Chris Brown:]
And now I'm missin' your love, I'ma roll up
I'm faded once again, I don't know where I am
But I just know I'm driftin' far from you
I'm tryna keep my head strong, but my heart
Won't just let me grow away from you
Don't you know we're driftin' off, driftin' off?
I know you think that it's my fault for fallin' off
All this hope and disregard, driftin' off
I know you think there ain't no fault, I fall apart
And now I'm missin' your love

[Verse 2 - G-Eazy:]
I blame it on the distance
Why I'm f*ckin' with these bitches
These numbers in my phone
A text pops up, she's like, "Who is this?"
You probably got a mistress
Probably every week it switches
Now is this cause for concern?
And should I be suspicious?
I'm overseas trippin', a million miles away
And she's still in L.A., my mom's out in the Bay
And these overseas minutes add up, that's a lot to pay
I can pay it, yeah I know, but it's the excuse I say
She's been tryna track me down
I feel like I'm cattin' now
Dodgin' her when she's the one
I'm out here trippin', actin' wild
Start to wonder if I've changed
I'm like how could that be now?
Would these bitches be here really
If I wasn't rappin' now?
Now tell me now

[Hook - Chris Brown:]
I'm faded once again, I don't know where I am
But I just know I'm driftin' far from you
I'm tryna keep my head strong, but my heart
Won't just let me grow away from you
Don't you know we're driftin' off, driftin' off?
I know you think that it's my fault for fallin' off
All this hope and disregard, driftin' off
I know you think there ain't no fault, that fall apart
And now I'm missin' your love

[Verse 3 - G-Eazy:]
I'm just so conflicted
It's been so long since we've kicked it
And I can't lie, I've missed it
But somewhere the current shifted
And now I'm somewhere else
Far away, feel like we drifted
Hard to face the facts
I'm drinkin' to escape 'em, then get lifted
Get swept under a rug, 'till I'm trippin' on a pile
Get a change, somethin' different for a while
Yeah we grew apart with time
We ain't kicked it in a while
But I still think about you now
Without you, see there's differences now
But shit happens, how could we have known?
Nothin' can prepare us
From sleepin' at your parents, now to sold out shows in Paris
To parties at my hotel ashin' blunts up off my terrace
Tell me, how'd we ever come to live this careless?
Tell me now

[Hook - Chris Brown:]
I'm faded once again, I don't know where I am
But I just know I'm driftin' far from you
I'm tryna keep my head strong, but my heart won't
Just let me grow away from you
Don't you know we're driftin' off, driftin' off?
I know you think that it's my fault for fallin' off
All this hope and disregard, driftin' off
I know you think there ain't no fault, I fall apart
And now I'm missin' your love
And now I'm missin' your love

Of All Things

Yeah, ahahaha, yeah

Growing up they tell me follow your dreams
Now I got these A list chicks, all in my jeans
Five eight and she only weighs a hundred and twenty
Skinny but she's got an ass the conundrum is funny
And you don't have to like me, just the balls to tell me
When your girl needs D then she calls the celly
And they see me coming up, is when they all get jelly
Karate kid, my sensei is Fonzerelli
That's forty, I come from the land of the hyphy
My club is all pros like the brand of a white tee
Only a million dollars in my hand will excite me
And I tour across the atlas then I plan to go sight see
I never talk back when you're trying to diss us
Cause my response when we know you're lying is crickets
If I ain't poppin please explain who's buying the tickets?
And my deals not a deal it's like their buying a business
Yeah

[Hook - G-Eazy:]
You could be anything in this world
You could be anything in this world
Momma said, you could be anything in this world
You could be anything in this world
But of all things in life you could pick to be
You sure look like a hater or a bitch to me
Of all things in life you could pick to be
You sure look like a bitch to me

[Too $hort:]
They call me short but I started at the top
North Cal bitch if you like it or not
It is what it is, it's an Oakland thing
What you doing short?
I'm just smoking man
I got her thinking I'm the man to be
F*ck with me, this ain't no fantasy
We them real Bay Boys, all we do is make noise
We ain't never been quiet come through and take hoes
I hope he don't get mad cause she want me
I really don't want her I just want to get money
You can see me, cupcake give a f*ck what you think
She's a rich girl, and I'm in love with her bank
You wanna be like her? wanna car like that?
Wanna be my work? I be your mentor baby
I make you a motherf*cker
You take all this money and that other sucker
Bitch

[Hook - G-Eazy & Too $hort:]
You could be anything in this world
You could be anything in this world
Momma said, you could be anything in this world
You could be anything in this world
But of all things in life you could pick to be
You sure look like a hater or a bitch to me
Of all things in life you could pick to be
You sure look like a bitch to me

I leave the club with a bad one head right to her spot
Put some Ty Dolla on and put some pipe in the thot
Got a style the world likes it a lot
I get on tracks spit, sneeze, cough, and throw up
I'm not wiping the snot
On my way if you like it or not
I'm looking at the top I'm just eyeing the spot
And I just keep climbing I keep hiking a lot
If you told me these things would all happen
You'd be right on the spot
Yeah, cause ever since I was able to grow fame
My superpower's I can swoop your girl with no game
Straight to the point with no shame
Spot her at the party I'm alone that's a sniper with pro-aim
If you're a bitch then respect you won't gain
Most of these cats are so lame
Rapper fell off turned into a no name
Lost it all and now you're trying
To grow your buzz back like Rogaine
It won't

[Hook - G-Eazy:]
You could be anything in this world
You could be anything in this world
Momma said, you could be anything in this world
You could be anything in this world
But of all things in life you could pick to be
You sure look like a hater or a bitch to me
Of all things in life you could pick to be
You sure look like a bitch to me

[G-Eazy (& Too $hort):]
Yeah (Bitch)

Calm Down

My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?

I've been sitting on the charts like a beast yeah
My last album, spent 52 weeks there
Almost finished with the second, you should be scared
Storms coming you should go inside and prepare
No shortcuts there ain't no cheats there
I brought the whole city out like a street fair
And f*ck it I'm the coldest white rapper in the game
Since the one with the bleached hair
Yeah, you love it when I talk shit
I get around, yeah I'm on my 2Pac shit
I kinda feel there's no girl I could not get
I'm not found at the function if it's not lit
Yeah, it's nathan that no one can tell me
I made it here dolo, nobody to help me
From the Bay, birthplace of the hyphy
So bitch come and say to my face you don't like me

My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?

It's like I'm always found where the troubles at
Drinking brown shit now I'm off cup of that
Your girl's on me, what's up with that?
If I like her all this shit will really take it a double tap
Having visions of f*cking an A list singer, Kardashian, or a Jenner
But Ye's got Kim, Tyga swooped up Kylie
So there's one left watch me go get her
Yeah, they tell me calm down
F*ck that I'm too lit can't calm down
I'm so drunk right now I might fall down
And I don't give a f*ck how boring do y'all sound?
Up and down on a Wednesday
Then we do the same shit the next day
The next star out the Bay is Eazy
Yadadamean? for sure
Yadadamean? for sheezy

My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?

My love is, working hard yadadamean?
My love is, working hard yadadamean?

Don't Let Me Go

[Grace:]
If we shall dance we shall dance for the night
I wish for love but sweet love takes her time
Hand on my heartily just to the night
Every star waits for the darkness to shine
Why do I cry when the tears never dry
Why do I drown when I look through your eyes
Love is the morning that succeeds the night
I was gone by the first sign of the light

When it's dark out
I search for love but don't find it
Just sex n drugs but don't mind it
Because nothing's real I'm reminded
And
I Do suppose
Ignorance is bliss truth be told
They say go smash these groupie hoes
N Spend money on some newer clothes
N put poison up through your nose
Well
Eventually everything fades
Even the brightest of Colors turn greys
Highs comes down But the pain still stays
Even the longest of nights turn days
Then
Wake up and it's over
Love to escape cuz I hate being sober
& you and I we never had closure
We just knew when it was over

[Hook - Grace:]
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Troubled mind of an Artist
But the star comes alive in the darkness
Late nights Lower east side apartments
But the night is impossible to Harness
Soon as comes it Departs us
Couldn't stay & love you so I became Heartless
Lost track of our long term targets
Live n Die young leave a beautiful carcass
Thinkin when we just had met
Realizing now that it just wasn't meant
But how would we know If the time wasn't spent?
If only we could live where the sun doesn't set
Somewhere it's always light out and happy
You and I were like a Sid vicious and Nancy
I mean it was bound to be tragic its
No way this ever coulda lasted

[Hook - Grace:]
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

What If

What If I had a hundred million dollars?
I'd f*ck up some, f*ck up some, f*ck up some commas
What if I did f*ck Madonna?
What if I had two bitches at once with no drama?
What if the whole world believed in Obama?
What if Bill Clinton had never got head?
Would we pay attention to real f*cking issues instead
What if Pac wasn't dead
And the thunder and rain
What if it all was champagne
What if if my momma was healthy
Like what if there wasn't no pain
What if these rappers could actually find their own lane
What if it wasn't the same, what if I did my own thing
Really, said f*ck it and went against the grain
What if the world was crazy
And we was the only ones sane
I don't know I'm just saying
Just some ideas I had on my brain

[Hook - Gizzle:]
What if I couldn't lose
What if you couldn't win
What if you couldn't stop me
What would you do then
What would you do then
What would you do
What if I sold my soul
What if I lost control
What if I blew these M's
What if I let it go
What if i let it go
What would you do?

What if you never grew up
What if you never got old
What if you never fell off
Rappers who had it just never got cold
What if it wasn't no cops
What if it wasn't no haters
What if the super bowl ever came back to the raiders
If Kobe woulda left the lakers
What if my homies was all livin lavish
Pockets and bellies the fattest
Enjoying All that we can manage
What if we all took advantage
Of everything life had to hand us
All lived in mansions
Money for stashin
All had unlimited credit Transactions
Sometimes I feel
It can happen
If it's been imagined
Up in my head
What if the schools were free we ain't have to pay for college
What if the fake shit ain't get not acknowledged
What if snitches all stayed in silence
What if instead of d
We traded guidance
What if my smile was
Made of diamonds
Iono
Thought I Let you know where my
State of mind is
That's all

[Hook - Gizzle:]
What if I couldn't lose
What if you couldn't win
What if you couldn't stop me
What would you do then
What would you do then
What would you do
What if I sold my soul
What if I lost control
What if I blew these M's
What if I let it go
What if i let it go
What would you do?

What if the game didn't care I was white
Would I still be selling out shows every night
Would they all believe in the hype
Regardless of image
I'm askin would people still love me Despite
Id still be right here in these shoes cuz I fit em I worked for this life
F*ck that
Three hundred and sixty five nights eleven years straight
Let em debate
We finally broke through
But It's Far worse to happen Never than Late
So Settle it straight
I worked for years and Studied the game
And Respect for art, Will always come first
Before Money & fame
What if I didn't Grow up in the culture
What if Gerald was really a vulture
Wouldn't that be insane?
But, F*ck that shit though it's not in my veins
What if the fake ones died
And only the real survived
Who do you think would make it
Take a look now you might be surprised

[Hook - Gizzle:]
What if I couldn't lose
What if you couldn't win
What if you couldn't stop me
What would you do then
What would you do then
What would you do
What if I sold my soul
What if I lost control
What if I blew these M's
What if I let it go
What if i let it go
What would you do?

Sad Boy

Gerald what the f*ck is wrong, man?
Cheer the f*ck up, you asshole, yeah

We fake it 'til we make it
Work while everyone doubts
I was dreamin' of award shows
While still on the couch
Fame is all so new to me
Guess I'm feelin' it out
Man the other day my grandma said she's selling the house (wait)
See I was much more bummy and less star
When my mom's unemployment check wouldn't stretch far
Wishin' that my confidence was made out of Teflon
And I could superhero, save the day, cop her next car
Coming out the Bay feels like nobody gets far
Feels like we're doomed
Like they're building a Death Star
Drink it all the way, stumble into the next bar
Rap is like the lottery, we're all tryna scratch for
But when that shit just strikes gold
You accomplish life goals
Go and get that ice froze, get paid off of nice flows
It's weird now I got money to buy nice steez
But don't look down
Get scared of heights like these

Gerald what you so sad for?
Why the hell you got the blues?
Everybody wanna be in your shoes
Gerald what you so sad for?
Everything ain't that bad
Name a reason that you got to be mad
Gerald what you so sad for?
Man stop acting like a bitch
Forgot you're all famous now and rich?
Gerald what you so sad for?
Man stop cryin', homie rap more
(Alright, well)

And in a year I went from overlooked to over-booked
You won't ever understand the work it took
Drinkin' every night to celebrate what we made
But the parties have changed
Weirdos crowd around and start acting strange
At the bar stress chain smoking cigarettes
And I don't even smoke, I know I should drink a little less
But nothing can prepare you for how crazy this business gets
Once again sad boy Gerald is in distress
So hard on myself I think I'm going insane
The mind of a perfectionist is always in pain
Should be happy I don't have to set alarms to wake up
I just tour and cake up
I should probably call home so me and moms can make up
These days the only home I know is the road
And clowns are all sad inside, or so I'm told
And the girl I'm really thinking of is states away
We'll run away and find a place to stay

Gerald what you so sad for?
Why the hell you got the blues?
Everybody wanna be in your shoes
Gerald what you so sad for?
Everything ain't that bad
Name a reason that you got to be mad
Gerald what you so sad for?
Man stop acting like a bitch
Forgot you're all famous now and rich?
Gerald what you so sad for?
This was everything you asked for

Think About You

Quiñ:]
Cause I do, cause I do, cause I do
Keep writing you
Got this racing heart
Got you on my mind
Don't ever think I don't
I know what you like
And I'm the only one that ever should
Only one that cross your mind
Make me want to hit you right
Right now, and don't even think about it
I could get you right now
And I'm the only one that ever could
I do but you sure don't

[Hook - Quiñ:]
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't
Don't think I don't think about you oh oh
Cause I do boy
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Cause I do, cause I do, boy
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Cause I do, boy don't

Last night I sent a message
Drunk when I sent it, pieces of a fragments a sentence
Essentially along the lines of saying I'm in town
And cross the line just saying if you're down
Let's chill and get a drink
I sip, hoping I would hear again
The text bubble popped up and dissapeared again
Like I don't want it getting weird again
And I don't wanna fight
And I don't want you shedding tears again
It's not a big deal, but don't think I don't think about you
Just cause I ain't spoken about you
I'd asked how you feel but already know I won't get it out you
You'll probably tell your friends that I wrote this about you
Whatever, I know I can be jealous and crazy
The voices in my head have liked to yell at me lately
I still can't believe what they've been telling me lately
Sometimes I wonder if you share my sentiments maybe
Let me know

[Hook - Quiñ:]
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't
Don't think I don't think about you oh oh
Cause I do boy
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Cause I do, cause I do, boy
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Cause I do, boy
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't think I don't think about you oh oh

Everything Will Be Ok

[Hook - Kehlani:]
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)

Contemplating just who I could've turned out to be
If I stayed there with her, what would amount to me?
If I looked and ain't found what I have founded me?
I mean, it's hard, but they loved me, never looked down on me
They say, "You know if you loved her
Well then you would have stayed
You could have made a perfect pair that people wouldn't trade"
Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase it
Face it, I wasn't born to live a life basic
They say, "you turned your back on us just to go and be an artist
What's a promise anyway when someone breaks it?
I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes it
I bet he don't come back for us when he makes it
And if he do it be too late, you gotta face it
Cause by then there's someone new you've been replaced with"
Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with
Love or hate me depending on how you judge it

[Hook - Kehlani:]
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)

I had to wander, I had to go tread my own path
If you don't step through no mud well then it won't last
The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask
Like, "you don't even come home enough
Where were you when she was in the hospital, huh?
It was only us," and that's deep and yeah I know it cuts
But if it gets you, then you're weak
Because we were here and it ain't broken us
Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was
Like when she lost her job and everything, how broke we was
When she was sick and she needed some taking care of
A fifteen year old shouldered the weight
And when he was scared of
The worst, I know that you stayed strong
Don't say this enough
But you made me just as proud as you made Mom
Yeah, you got some anger but I don't blame you at all
I know I don't call, but you're my brother, I love you

[Hook - Kehlani:]
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)

In that first grade class they came and got me
"Your mom's outside, say goodbye now to everybody"
U-Haul was waiting with all of her things
At least what she could pack
In the time my dad's at work and before he came back
Way to young to comprehend what was happening
"Are we going to grandma's? When are we coming back again?"
Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself
And ten years would pass before Mom sees anybody else
Just us, in middle school I ain't understand
Who Melissa was and why she wasn't another man
Biased and confused they try to explain but nobody can
Wanted what I thought was normal, she had another plan
Such is life, even if it took time for me to accept it
No longer Dad now, but a woman with whom she slept with
Or for the years when a secret was how she kept it
I ain't get it, admittedly I was skeptic
I came around, happiness I see's what you may have found
And that's what's most important
I don't wanna see you breaking down
I wanna see you smile, I don't wanna see you make a frown
If she loves you, then that's all anybody needs maybe now
By '05 things had gotten worse
Moved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curse
Hiding in a dark space, her mind and her body hurts
Becoming more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts
So the worse it got, I became more and more afraid
Until one night, I went into that room, on the floor she laid
I shook her she was blue, her skin was cold, she wasn't breathing
Screamed, "Melissa wake up" couldn't fathom that she was leaving
Mom and Bro was running down, I screamed "somebody help"
Try pumping her chest, CPR, but it didn't help
Toughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that's forced reflection
While in her life you made her happy, thank you for the blessing

[Hook - Kehlani:]
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
(It'll be, it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)

For This

Yeah, yeah, ah, yeah

[Hook - IAMNOBODI (& G-Eazy):]
I waited all my life for this
They know me, and I won't change it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They know me, I won't change it
But I made it

It's tough not to get anxious
Exercising my patience
I thought it never would happen
I swear I waited for ages
Had faith in the journey
I said "let's see where it takes us"
We want gratification
But see it happens in stages
With a team on my back
A couple times might have cracked
But never broke and I can hold them in fact
Man, you know how much weight was on him?
Must have came from within'
My lanky ass don't even go to the gym
And now I'm in, just one, but twenty mixtapes to my name
A lot of y'all would lose your appetites
With a distaste for the game
Lot of y'all would call it quits
Because you just chase for the fame
Tell my story to inspire you
Just in case you're the same
Self-made, now I employed ten of my friends
Tryna move moms out the Honda
Tryna send her a Benz
Appreciate it all because ain't no telling when this shit ends
Unless this is all a dream and then it depends
Well, yeah...

[Hook - IAMNOBODI (& G-Eazy):]
I waited all my life for this
(I waited, yeah)
They know me, and I won't change it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They know me, I won't change it
But I made it

Listen, yeah, and all we ever wanted was chances
Dreams of life changing, checks from label advances
Copping mansions
The kind of conversations marijuana enhances
Back then I let them know what my plans is
A poet in sixteen bar stanzas
Sixteen with dreams so far fetched no one understands us
Playing shows in stadiums
Where everybody way up in the stands is
Standing on their feet, I paint the picture on canvas
That I seen, in my dreams in quick visions and glances
Woke up in NYC today, don't think we're in Kansas
Anymore, but sometimes it's hard to be sure
Cause if I dreamed that it happened, did it actually or?
Am I just still asleep, and none of it's real
Wake up tomorrow right back in the struggle
Tryna come up and build
I don't know this shit gets deep and ignorance is bliss
It's all I've ever loved, I waited my whole life for this, yeah

[Hook - IAMNOBODI (& G-Eazy):]
I waited all my life for this
(I swear I waited so f*cking long)
They know me, and I won't change it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They know me, I won't change it
(We always knew this shit would happen, yeah)
But I made it

Yeah, reporting live from NYC
Two thousand and fifteen and forever
Yeah, uh, yeah
I don't know how to end this shit
Yeah, uh, yeah

[Hook - IAMNOBODI:]
I waited all my life for this
They know me, and I won't change it
All my life for this
They know me, and I won't change it
I made it

Nothing To Me

[Hook - Keyshia Cole:]
People talk, it's just work of mouth, no it ain't nothing it me
You talking loud cause I'm not around, yeah that's something to see
Say I'm the man and I'm winning now, that shit ain't nothing to me
And all these hunnids that I'm pulling out, it's a lot to you, but ain't nothing to me
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to me
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to me

You dipped ya toe inside that water while I'm chest high
Explains all this basicness that you get impressed by
Tall and lanky so I'm not even a flex guy
Commercial melodies to pay to have those jets fly
No more coach and until the day I die stiff
I am at a level most of y'all be satisfied with
Want some advice well here's my gift:
You're falling off you should go speed up the process
Go somewhere and find a high cliff
Oh, it's all coming back to me now
You saw me hot and got signed now you actually foul
Time is money I ain't wasting none, it has to be now
The word legend's thrown around so causally now
I want it all, pardon my manners
But you've done nothing that matters
Maybe I am not understanding your standards
See we measured in the money that you made, short
It's not the same league, it's not even the same sport, now

[Hook - Keyshia Cole:]
People talk, it's just work of mouth, no it ain't nothing it me
You talking loud cause I'm not around, yeah that's something to see
Say I'm the man and I'm winning now, that shit ain't nothing to me
And all these hunnids that I'm pulling out, it's a lot to you, but ain't nothing to me
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to you
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to you

And I remember I was stacking money
Though I wanted clothes and Jordans, leather jacket money
Now I want tobacco money
Where everything you sell, they keep on coming back to money
And I ain't even close to gotti yet, don't get confused
But everybody got choices, you can pick and choose
These people disrespect the game until it gets abused
They saying Gerald's 'bout to kill 'em, but this isn't news
See, you're a player in the game, but playing different rules
You struggling, guess we'll just wait to see if this improves
You had a chance at the dance, but was missing queues
You couldn't get the steps down, cause these are different moves
Pay attention, life is like a dice game, your life is like a bike lane
There's more to buy then just a nice chain
New flavor for you cause your life's plain
A day inside the life with us could make your life change, yeah

[Hook - Keyshia Cole:]
People talk, it's just work of mouth, no it ain't nothing it me
You talking loud cause I'm not around, yeah that's something to see
Say I'm the man and I'm winning now, that shit ain't nothing to me
And all these hunnids that I'm pulling out, it's a lot to you, but ain't nothing to me
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to you
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to you

[Keyshia Cole:]
Cause when you used to it, other people ain't used to it
They only copy when you do do it
Cause when you used to it, other people ain't used to it
They only copy when you do do it

[E-40:]
I'm the realest in it, but ya'll don't show it
But in the back of ya'll motherf*cker's mind ya know it
I'm a poet with versatility, biggie gave me 0 visibility
Wish him and the homie Pac was still alive
If they was, rap would be more live
But they not, so I'm filling in they space
Rap game Mount Rushmore, they carving out my face
I have done seen 5 nights on the cover of source and XXL
Me and hip-hop though about getting divorced and that's for real
But I stay loyal to the broad that saved my life, my wife
If it wasn't for rap, I would've crapped out on the dice

[Hook - Keyshia Cole:]
People talk, it's just work of mouth, no it ain't nothing it me
You talking loud cause I'm not around, yeah that's something to see
Say I'm the man and I'm winning now, that shit ain't nothing to me
And all these hunnids that I'm pulling out, it's a lot to you, but ain't nothing to me
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to you
Its a lot to you, Its a lot to you
But it ain't nothing to you
