Easy, easy

Pull 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 truant

You’re trying to find your place,

And figure out where you fit

You’re finna start rappin’ with a kid

You went to school with

But, more on that later,

Right now you’re going through it

See, you’re going to have to prove that you ain't soft

And you’re not stupid

And you gon’ have to scrap

With some kids that you ain’t cool with

You got a short temper, just be careful when you lose it

You wanna be the man,

But it’s gon’ take some time to prove it

You’ll fall in love, but she’s gon’ break your heart

And put you through it

**** falling for that bullshit

You gon’ fall in love with music

You’re finna get arrested,

Almost **** 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

Won’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 ****ing up

I was seventeen, I was eighteen, just doing dumb shit

Easy, easy (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

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 out

Got a big head from them labels trying to bring you out

'Til they passed on you,

They ain’t 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 rejection’s only supposed to make you want it more

But, no lie, you contemplating quitting, walking out the door

But, what the **** you supposed to do?

This is all you’re 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 “These Things Happened”, 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 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, easy (Crashing on friends’ couches)

Living at air B&Bs and hotels

Trying to make the album

Trying to make When It’s Dark Out

Pull out your heart to make the being alone

If I could take it there, that’d 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 ‘em

But now you’re 27 and it’s 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

**** it, tomorrow, gotta fly some more

Don’t complain, this is what you signed up for

You’re working for your family, managers, agents

They all want something different from you,

Tell them all patience

But, this one’s 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 there’s nothing to it

But, you planted the seeds and you grew it

There’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 alone

Easy, (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 for

All I prayed for was an open door

I’ve been rich, I’ve been broke before

I’ve seen the floor

You try to put me in a box, I’ll box out like O'Lepore

And **** being indecisive now I’m so for sure

And **** Trump, it's like “What the **** we voted for?”

And most of y’all should probably party less and focus more

And if that line resonates,

You’re 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, I’ve made platinum records

That’ll never see the light of day

This is what the whole world’s been waiting for

The crowd’s jumping, going dumb till they break the floor

Come take a walk inside my mind, come and take a tour

I’m really not playing, what the **** 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

Easy

Easy

Easy

Easy
