Charles Brown
G-Eazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know
I'm thinkin' clear never losin' hope
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to knoww
Sometimes I gotta be dolo alone, just walkin' 'round
Young Gerald, young Charlie Brown
Some shit is better to keep to yourself than say aloud
Some shit you see and they don't, so I simply jot it down
It was written, had the vision as a youth that I would make it here one day
A flight to the top, cop a one-way
But looking out the window of the subway, 16, slapping Mac Dre
Somehow I always knew it'd be that way
I felt tit so clear it's like a rode a time machine and I saw it
I paint the picture and draw it, I fold it up in my wallet
Keep it with me everywhere I go just as a reminder
Told myself every time I get discouraged or tired
I got greatness inside of me
I go against the grain 'til they tired of me
I've heard it all, nothing surprises me
See, I'm the one, I'm the anomaly
But never mind me, I'll just be up over here killing 'em quietly
You know?
I'm tryna know what the future holds
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know
I'm thinkin' clear never losin' hope
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know
Yeah, and I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised, tomorrow or today
From the Bay
Like 40 & Dre
So I'ma do it in a major way
I said, I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised, tomorrow or today
From the Bay
Like 40 & Dre
Chasing dreams, it's the only way
I'm still here, remember these lyrics
And when I'm dead and gone, I'll be there in spirit
Don't let 'em run my name in the mud, don't let 'em smear it
Just pour some Rossi out, go ahead and tear it
One of a kind, no copy
Tell your grandchildren's children 'bout me
Tell 'em I was the illest
Let 'em know I spit the realest
Went from pennies and nickels to large amounts
Kept it in the hood, where it counts
Never was them, always was him
Had to prove myself, time and time again
Just when they thought it was it, he back with another hit
We brought the Bay to the rest of the world (who was it?)
E-40 & Gerald
I'm tryna know what the future holds
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know
I'm thinkin' clear never losin' hope
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know
So where I go from here?
I did the most you could possibly pack into a year
Now I can either fall off and completely disappear
Or, I can move up to the highest tier
Conversations with Gerald, standing in front the mirror
Ask myself like "Fuck the bullshit, what you really fear?"
We all want to be understood, hope they hear us clear
Well, but that shit never happens everywhere
So I just do me on my "fuck the world" shit
I'm riding through the town listening to Earl's shit
Been trying to lift the Bay up, could probably curl it
I learn from the legends, they tell me "you're it"
So I always maintain and try to stay sane
But, just do you, give a fuck what they sayin'
We artists are all alike, we feel the same pain
You want the whole world? We want the same thing
I'm tryna know what the future holds
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know
I'm thinkin' clear never losin' hope
But it ain't for you to know
I'm to myself like the usual
But it ain't for you to know

Young Gerald, young Charlie Brown
I am a youthful individual named Gerald, akin to the cartoon character Charlie Brown
Some shit is better to keep to yourself than say aloud
There are certain things that are best kept to oneself instead of sharing them with others
Some shit you see and they don't, so I simply jot it down
I observe things that go unnoticed by others, and I make a note of them
It was written, had the vision as a youth that I would make it here one day
It was destined for me, as a young person, to envision myself achieving success
A flight to the top, cop a one-way
Ascending to the highest level and never looking back
But looking out the window of the subway, 16, slapping Mac Dre
But even at the age of sixteen, riding the subway and listening to Mac Dre's music
Somehow I always knew it'd be that way
For some reason, I always had a feeling it would turn out like this
I felt tit so clear it's like a rode a time machine and I saw it
I felt the certainty so strongly, as if I had time traveled and witnessed it firsthand
I paint the picture and draw it, I fold it up in my wallet
I create a vivid image and preserve it by folding it and keeping it close to me
Keep it with me everywhere I go just as a reminder
I carry it with me at all times as a reminder of my aspirations
Told myself every time I get discouraged or tired
I remind myself whenever I feel discouraged or weary
I got greatness inside of me
I possess immense potential and greatness within me
I go against the grain 'til they tired of me
I continue to defy conventions until others become weary of it
I've heard it all, nothing surprises me
I have heard everything and nothing can surprise me anymore
See, I'm the one, I'm the anomaly
You see, I am the standout, the exception to the norm
But never mind me, I'll just be up over here killing 'em quietly
But don't pay attention to me, I will silently succeed from over here
Yeah, and I heard 'em say
Yes, I have heard others say
Nothing's ever promised, tomorrow or today
There are no guarantees in life, neither for the future nor the present
From the Bay
Referring to the San Francisco Bay Area
Like 40 & Dre
Similar to the legendary artists 40 and Dre from the Bay
So I'ma do it in a major way
Therefore, I will achieve success on a grand scale
Chasing dreams, it's the only way
Pursuing my dreams is the sole path for me
I'm still here, remember these lyrics
I am still present, and I want you to remember the words I speak
And when I'm dead and gone, I'll be there in spirit
Even after I pass away, my essence will remain
Don't let 'em run my name in the mud, don't let 'em smear it
Don't allow others to tarnish my reputation or besmirch my name
Just pour some Rossi out, go ahead and tear it
Instead, pour out a drink of Rossi wine and celebrate it
One of a kind, no copy
I am unique, incomparable to anyone else
Tell your grandchildren's children 'bout me
Tell future generations about my life and accomplishments
Tell 'em I was the illest
Inform them that I was the most outstanding and skilled
Let 'em know I spit the realest
Inform them that my lyrics are authentic and genuine
Went from pennies and nickels to large amounts
I progressed from having very little money to accumulating significant wealth
Kept it in the hood, where it counts
I remained connected to my roots in the neighborhood, which holds importance
Never was them, always was him
I never conformed to others, I have always been myself
Had to prove myself, time and time again
I had to continuously demonstrate my worth and capabilities
Just when they thought it was it, he back with another hit
Just when they believed my success had peaked, I returned with another successful song
We brought the Bay to the rest of the world (who was it?)
We introduced the unique culture of the Bay Area to the global stage (who accomplished this?)
E-40 & Gerald
It was achieved by E-40 and Gerald (referring to themselves)
So where I go from here?
What should be my next course of action from this point?
I did the most you could possibly pack into a year
I accomplished an extraordinary amount within a single year
Now I can either fall off and completely disappear
Now I have the choice to either decline and vanish entirely
Or, I can move up to the highest tier
Or, I can ascend to the highest level of success
Conversations with Gerald, standing in front the mirror
Engaging in introspective conversations with myself, facing the mirror
Ask myself like "Fuck the bullshit, what you really fear?"
Questioning myself, disregarding the nonsense, and uncovering my true fears
We all want to be understood, hope they hear us clear
We all desire to be comprehended, hoping that our message is received clearly
Well, but that shit never happens everywhere
However, such understanding does not occur universally
So I just do me on my "fuck the world" shit
Thus, I proceed to be myself, adopting an attitude of disregarding societal expectations
I'm riding through the town listening to Earl's shit
I travel around the city while listening to Earl's music
Been trying to lift the Bay up, could probably curl it
I have been striving to elevate the Bay Area, to the extent that I could physically lift it
I learn from the legends, they tell me "you're it"
I gain knowledge and inspiration from the esteemed musicians who inform me that I am exceptional
So I always maintain and try to stay sane
Therefore, I consistently preserve my well-being and sanity
But, just do you, give a fuck what they sayin'
However, simply be yourself and disregard what others may say
We artists are all alike, we feel the same pain
As artists, we share similar experiences and emotions
You want the whole world? We want the same thing
You desire global recognition? We share the same aspiration

Ah... this came out the year I left home and started my career. Was my shit for everything from gym to work commutes. Feels good to hear it again years later, especially since I'm doing much better than I was, all my doubts were erased.
