When Gillum was in the first grade, his mother left his father, an associate professor of art at CSU Fresno. Gillum moved in with his grandparents in Berkeley, California, where he attended Berkeley High School. They later moved to North Oakland, although Gillum continued to attend school in Berkeley. Gillum attended Loyola University New Orleans, where he graduated with a BA in music industry studies in 2011.
Starting out as a record producer, G-Eazy began working on singles while he was still a student at the Loyola University at New Orleans with his producer Christoph Andersson who also was a student there.[4][5] He gained some recognition for being a part of the new hip hop scene back in the East Bay Area, joining with such artists as Lil B, Crohn and The Cataracs.[6][7] He became a member of a local hip hop group called "The Bay Boyz", who had released several songs on their Myspace page.[8]

In 2010, G-Eazy was given an opportunity to open for some well-known artists, most notably Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg.
G-Eazy's mixtapes at this period of time were met with limited success.

Let's Get Lost
G-Eazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me all the way down tonight, soon I'll be leaving
Break me down
Break me all the way down, before the night is over
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
What it is, what it could be?
My imagination runs fast
Only if you comin' with me
4 AM staying up past
Or however long these drugs last
Don't know why I live so fast
They be telling me to slow down
I be screaming out "fuck that!"
I really wanna take you down
Moaning is how I wanna make you sound
Can't wait until I get you home
Fuck that I wanna take you now
Let's do it all, have a ball
Hook up tonight in the ladies' room stall
Follow you there I'll let you make the call
You can text all your friends say you'll see them tomorrow
That's if you're down
She never fucked the first night until now
Let me, plow
Faded, I'm drunk off the brown
Stayed up all night on the town
Act like tomorrow just doesn't exist
Time isn't real ain't shit on my wrists
Let go of everything then you have bliss
Then she told me this
Take me down
Take me all the way down tonight, soon I'll be leaving
Break me down
Break me all the way down, before the night is over
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost tonight
You can be supreme Kate Moss tonight
Turn up in the Soho loft tonight
Do drugs, take 10 shots tonight
Awesome I'm naked with Naked and Famous jeans on the floor
Live a wild life, you ain't seen this before
You should give brains and I mean this for sure
That's what genius is for
Beautiful girl that I just met on tour
Another good girl that I'll probably destroy
Her life was stable until she met me
Sheltered and safe so she never gets freed
But she loves trouble she's drawn to the danger
Never goes crazy, I bet I can change her
I could make her fall in love with a stranger
Switch up the pace I don't mean Danny Granger
Can't wait until tomorrow? I'm fine with today
You pretty as fuck and I'm tryna slay
"Let's do this right now" is what I'm trying to say
I can tell you don't love him, you're dying to stray
I do not give a fuck 'bout your ex
I'm not looking for love, I'm just looking for sex
Tension between us had me feeling vexed
Then she sent me a text
Take me down
Take me all the way down tonight, soon I'll be leaving
Break me down
Break me all the way down, before the night is over
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
That's that endless summer, never going back to school
We do what we want to, can't tell me no rules
Every night on the town, going out all the time
And I'm tryna take you down, only thing on my mind
Take me down
Take me all the way down, soon I'll be leaving
The song "Let's Get Lost" by G-Eazy is about his desire to have a wild and carefree night with a girl who is also looking for adventure. He starts off by expressing his desire to be taken down and broken all the way down before the night is over. He wants to lose himself in the moment and take a girl with him. He acknowledges his tendency to live life fast and push against the desire to slow down, choosing to embrace the thrill of the night instead.
As the song progresses, G-Eazy continues to describe his desire to have a wild night with this girl. He suggests getting high and drunk, hooking up in a bathroom stall, and even hints at his desire to get this girl to fall in love with him despite being a stranger. He paints a picture of a night full of drugs, sex, and danger, encouraging the girl to break free from her sheltered and safe life.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call to embrace the moment and live life on the edge, even if it means giving into the temporary pleasures of drugs, sex, and danger.
Line by Line Meaning
Take me down
I want you to take me down
Take me all the way down tonight, soon I'll be leaving
Take me down tonight because I'll be leaving soon
Break me down
Break me down emotionally
Break me all the way down, before the night is over
Break me down completely before the night ends
Let's get lost
Let's get lost in the moment
Let's get lost
Let's get lost in pleasure
Let's get lost
Let's forget about everything else and just focus on each other
Let's get lost
Let's lose ourselves in the experience
What it is, what it could be?
What is happening and what could happen?
My imagination runs fast
My mind wanders quickly
Only if you comin' with me
I only want to explore these thoughts with you
4 AM staying up past
Staying up late into the night
Or however long these drugs last
Being under the influence for as long as it lasts
Don't know why I live so fast
I don't know why I live such a fast-paced lifestyle
They be telling me to slow down
People tell me to slow down but I ignore them
I be screaming out "fuck that!"
I reject their advice
I really wanna take you down
I want to have sex with you
Moaning is how I wanna make you sound
I want to give you pleasure and hear you moan
Can't wait until I get you home
I can't wait to have sex with you at your place
Fuck that I wanna take you now
I want to have sex with you immediately
Let's do it all, have a ball
Let's have fun and do everything we want to do sexually
Hook up tonight in the ladies' room stall
Let's have sex in the ladies' room stall
Follow you there I'll let you make the call
I'll follow your lead and let you lead us there
You can text all your friends say you'll see them tomorrow
You can let your friends know you're busy and won't see them tonight
That's if you're down
Only if you're willing
She never fucked the first night until now
She never had sex on the first night until now
Let me, plow
Let me have sex with you
Faded, I'm drunk off the brown
I'm drunk off alcohol
Stayed up all night on the town
I was out all night in the city
Act like tomorrow just doesn't exist
Live in the moment and ignore tomorrow
Time isn't real ain't shit on my wrists
I don't care about time or wearing a watch
Let go of everything then you have bliss
Unwind and then you'll feel happiness
Then she told me this
Then she said the following
Let's get lost tonight
Let's indulge in each other tonight
You can be supreme Kate Moss tonight
You can be the sexiest version of yourself tonight
Turn up in the Soho loft tonight
Have a wild time at the Soho loft tonight
Do drugs, take 10 shots tonight
Do drugs and take shots tonight
Awesome I'm naked with Naked and Famous jeans on the floor
I'm naked and my jeans are on the floor
Live a wild life, you ain't seen this before
Live a crazy life that's unlike anything you've experienced before
You should give brains and I mean this for sure
You should perform oral sex on me
That's what genius is for
That's why I'm a genius
Beautiful girl that I just met on tour
I met a beautiful girl while on tour
Another good girl that I'll probably destroy
I'll likely ruin another good girl's life
Her life was stable until she met me
Her life was normal until I came along
Sheltered and safe so she never gets freed
She's never experienced anything new or wild until now
But she loves trouble she's drawn to the danger
She enjoys danger and thrives in it
Never goes crazy, I bet I can change her
She's never let herself go wild, but I think I can make her
I could make her fall in love with a stranger
I could make her fall in love with me, even though we're strangers
Switch up the pace I don't mean Danny Granger
I want to change the energy, not the NBA player Danny Granger
Can't wait until tomorrow? I'm fine with today
I am living in the moment and not thinking about tomorrow
You pretty as fuck and I'm tryna slay
You're beautiful and I want to have sex with you
"Let's do this right now" is what I'm trying to say
I want to have sex with you right away
I can tell you don't love him, you're dying to stray
I can tell that you're not in love with your current partner and want to cheat
I do not give a fuck 'bout your ex
I don't care about your ex-boyfriend
I'm not looking for love, I'm just looking for sex
I'm not interested in love, just sex
Tension between us had me feeling vexed
The sexual attraction was making me anxious and bothered
Then she sent me a text
Then she messaged me
That's that endless summer, never going back to school
This is an endless summer with no need to return to school
We do what we want to, can't tell me no rules
I make my own rules and do whatever I want
Every night on the town, going out all the time
We go out every night to have fun
And I'm tryna take you down, only thing on my mind
I'm focused on having sex with you and nothing else
