G-Eazy Lyrics

Smokin' on the loudest ?
G-Eazy is smoking the strongest strain of marijuana.

Tryna see through a cloud of doubt
G-Eazy is dealing with uncertainty and insecurity.

Goin' 'til a pound is out
He will keep smoking until there's no more weed left.

We all got problems too proud to pout
Everyone has problems, but many people don't express them out of pride.

Born in '99, I ain't about to count
G-Eazy doesn't want to worry about his age.

Takin' long walks when I'm out and about
He likes to take peaceful walks when he's outside.

Dreaming 10 mil just to round 'em out
He wants to reach a goal of making 10 million dollars in his career.

Used to look for directions, I found a route
He once was lost in life but has now found his way.

Wonder how the charts feel
He's curious about his music's popularity on the charts.

Paranoia thoughts stay dark, still
He struggles with negative and anxious thoughts.

Everyday I'm here I try to write songs
He is dedicated to his craft of making music.

'Cause I know the beat'll longer than my heart will
He believes his music will have a longer lifespan than he will.

Yeah, tryna see every state
G-Eazy wants to travel to every state in the US.

No white lighters, hope I see 28
He believes in a superstition that using a white lighter will cause bad luck and he hopes to live until age 28.

You can tell my girl I'ma be runnin' late
He's running late to meet his significant other.

Can't tell how much longer she's gonna wait
He's unsure of how long his partner will continue to wait for him.

A real good girl with a dirt bag guy
His partner is a good person but he feels he's not good enough for her.

She could probably do better than me
G-Eazy thinks his partner deserves someone better.

Like a rich-ass lawyer with a house of cards
He compares himself to someone who is successful and can provide for his partner.

Takes care of her and never leaves
This man is reliable and committed to his partner.

Man, should I try my best?
He questions whether it's worth trying his best.

Nobody here for me to try and impress
He feels that no one around him is worth impressing.

I'd rather chase a dream than be content to sit behind a desk
He would rather pursue his dreams than get a typical job.

I used to live with the highest stress
He used to have a lot of stress in his life.

But fuck it, I digress
But he doesn't want to dwell on that anymore.

Lately I've been losing sleep
G-Eazy has been having trouble sleeping.

Stressed, sorry if my mood is steep
His stress is affecting his mood and behavior.

No one to talk to, I use the beat
He uses music as an outlet since he doesn't have anyone to confide in.

A couple bad habits that I choose to keep
He admits to having some unhealthy habits that he hasn't been able to quit.

My intake of booze is steep
He drinks alcohol heavily.

Pop a couple of pills that I use to sleep
He takes pills to help him sleep.

I think I took a few this week
He's not sure how many pills he's taken recently.

I'm trying to adjust to the hugest leap
He's trying to adapt to a major change or transition.

I'm living off this music, here
He's relying solely on his music to make a living.

But I'm afraid of failing, that's the truth, sincere
Despite being a musician, he's still scared of failure in his career.

My anxiety is getting too severe
His anxiety has been worsening.

But I ain't giving up, there's no excuses here
He won't give up on his music career, despite his fears and struggles.

Dying young might be my truest fear
He's worried about dying early in life.

But now my future's bright and my view is clear
Despite his anxiety, he's optimistic about his future.

Told her I'ma get it, I'ma do it, dear
He told his partner that he's going to succeed in his music career.

There's no way in hell I could lose this year
He's confident that he won't fail this year.

I worked 10 years 'fore it ever paid off
He worked for a decade before finally achieving success in his music career.

You don't know what I had to trade off
He had to make sacrifices to get to where he is today.

I shed tears when my moms got laid off
He was emotional when his mother lost her job.

Life's never fair, never play it soft
Life isn't fair, so he approaches it with strength and determination.

I'ma go get it, I'ma do it for my folks
He's working hard for his family.

Every day I'm out man I always do the most
He always puts in maximum effort.

You would do the same shit if you was on the ropes
He thinks others would do the same if they were in his situation.

Shit gets realer when you zooming up close
Things become more intense and serious as you get closer to them.

Just believe
The overall message of the song is to have faith and confidence.

(just believe, just believe)
This phrase is repeated throughout the song to emphasize its importance.
