[00:03.80] Easy, easy

[00:18.68] Pull out your heart to make the being alone (yeah)

[00:20.92] Easy, easy (talkin' to my younger self)

[00:22.17] Pull out your heart to make the being alone

[00:22.67] Dear Gerald, you're fourteen years and a truant

[00:25.92] You're trying to find your place, and figure out where you fit

[00:28.92] You're finna start rappin' with a kid you went to school with

[00:33.17] But more on that later, right now you're going through it

[00:36.42] See, you're going to have to prove that you ain't soft and you're not stupid

[00:38.93] And you gon' have to scrap with some kids that you ain't cool with

[00:41.92] You got a short temper, just be careful when you lose it

[00:43.67] You wanna be the man, but it's gon' take some time to prove it

[00:45.92] You'll fall in love, but she's gon' break your heart and put you through it

[00:48.17] Fuck falling for that bullshit, you gon' fall in love with music

[00:53.41] You're finna get arrested, almost fuck around and lose it

[00:55.92] Spend days in juvie standing at the window, looking through it

[00:57.17] Nothing in life is promised, not even free-time is

[00:59.92] So, only chase dreams, and only chase commas

[01:02.92] Won't happen on its own, trust, trust, we've been through it

[01:05.43] If it was easy, everyone would do it

[01:07.17] This game is not

[01:09.42] Easy, easy (Eazy)

[01:19.92] Pull out your heart to make the being alone (I mean, I was fucking up)

[01:20.92] (I was seventeen, I was eighteen, just doing dumb shit)

[01:21.92] Easy (My moms made me move to New Orleans and shit)

[01:22.67] (I went to school down there on a scholarship)

[01:24.92] Easy (I finally got my shit together, I started taking music seriously)

[01:27.67] Pull out your heart to make the being alone

[01:29.38] (Then it started to kinda pop off a little bit, almost)

[01:31.17] Dear Gerald, 21, you think you've got it figured out

[01:33.92] Got a big head from them labels trying to bring you out

[01:36.42] 'Til they passed on you, they ain't see what they was missing out

[01:38.43] On, that flight home gave you some shit to think about

[01:41.67] Scrambling trying to figure out, went back to the drawing board

[01:45.17] Know they say rejection's only supposed to make you want it more

[01:47.42] But, no lie, you contemplating quitting, walking out the door

[01:50.67] But, what the fuck you supposed to do? This is all you're living for

[01:53.42] Really it was that and Dev, that was all you had

[01:56.17] Paying rent by engineering other rappers at the pad

[02:00.42] Barely getting by, hella broke, you was doing bad

[02:02.17] Then "These Things Happened", you finally seen a bag

[02:04.42] You drove down the highway, a fork in the road

[02:07.67] A normal life with her, or going for broke?

[02:10.42] I seen an open lane and then I drove straight through it

[02:13.66] If it was easy, everyone would do it

[02:15.42] This game is not

[02:18.17] Easy, (You know) easy (I literally sold all my shit)

[02:21.91] Pull out your heart to make the being alone (I moved out of my place in New Orleans)

[02:26.41] (I was bouncing around, living out of a suitcase)

[02:27.17] Easy (Crashing on friends' couches)

[02:29.67] (Living at Airbnbs and hotels)

[02:31.17] Easy (Trying to make the album)

[02:32.93] Pull out your heart to make the being alone (Tryna make When It's Dark Out)

[02:35.92] (If I could take it there, it'd be great, yeah)

[02:38.42] Dear Gerald, life changed since you dropped your second album

[02:41.42] And Me, Myself & I just went seven times platinum

[02:43.93] Toured around the world, damn, you really had 'em

[02:46.66] But now you're 27 and it's time to be a legend

[02:50.42] Back when it all started, grinding hard on that promo tour

[02:52.68] Tired from the night before and the night before and the night before

[02:55.67] Fuck it, tomorrow, gotta fly some more

[02:58.68] Don't complain, this is what you signed up for, yeah

[03:01.17] You're working for your family, managers, agents

[03:05.18] They all want something different from you, tell them all patience

[03:06.92] But, this one's on you, the lonely quest of greatness

[03:09.92] Been trying to be famous, been trying to be A-list

[03:12.68] When you arrive, it will appear as if there's nothing to it

[03:15.42] But, you planted the seeds and you grew it

[03:17.67] There's people taking credit for success that they had nothing to do with

[03:21.13] If it was easy, everyone would do it

[03:24.13] This game is not

[03:26.91] Easy, easy (Eazy)

[03:30.17] Pull out your heart to make the being alone

[03:33.92] Easy (So now you're here)

[03:35.42] Easy (What you gon' do with it?)

[03:39.92] (You know?)

[03:41.67] Pull out your heart to make the being alone

[03:44.17] Make no mistake, listen it's the life that I was chosen for

[03:49.17] All I prayed for was an open door

[03:51.67] I've been rich, I've been broke before

[03:53.91] I've seen the floor

[03:55.67] You try to put me in a box, I'll box out like Lepore

[03:58.42] And fuck being indecisive now I'm so for sure

[04:00.92] And fuck Trump, it's like "What the fuck we voted for?"

[04:03.42] And most of y'all should probably party less and focus more

[04:06.43] And if that line resonates, you're probably who I wrote it for

[04:09.17] Where will I go from here? "IDK"

[04:13.67] They want me to architect Rome, in a day

[04:16.42] Juice knew I was greatness when he looked at me

[04:19.43] Right away, I've made platinum records that'll never see the light of day

[04:21.67] This is what the whole world's been waiting for

[04:23.67] The crowd's jumping, going dumb till they break the floor

[04:25.92] Come take a walk inside my mind, come and take a tour

[04:29.19] I'm really not playing, what the fuck you take me for?

[04:31.42] Easy, easy

[04:34.63] Pull out your heart to make the being alone

[04:40.92] Easy, easy

[04:42.67] Pull out your heart to make the being alone

[04:45.17] Easy

[04:48.67] Easy

[04:55.92] Easy

[05:02.67] Easy
