Nothing To Me
G-Eazy Lyrics

People talk, it's just word of mouth
The things others say about me are just rumors and don't affect me.

No, it ain't nothing to me
I don't care what people say about me because it doesn't matter.

You talking loud 'cause I'm not around
People only talk behind my back because they are afraid to face me.

Yeah, that's something to see
It's interesting to see how people behave when they think I'm not around.

Say I'm the man and I'm winning now
Others may think that I'm successful, but this doesn't validate my worth.

That shit ain't nothing to me
I'm not impressed by people's opinions of me, as my success is self-defined.

And all these hunnids that I'm pulling out
The money that I have may seem like a lot to some, but it doesn't define me.

It's a lot to you but ain't nothing to me
Just because others value money highly, doesn't mean I do.

You dipped a toe inside that water while I'm chest high
Others may have a small level of success, but I am far more experienced and successful.

Explains all this basicness that you get impressed by
The things that others find impressive are unimpressive to me because they lack uniqueness or substance.

Tall and lanky so I'm not even a flex guy
I don't need to show off or flaunt my success because it's not a defining factor for me.

Commercial melodies to pay to have them jets fly
My success may bring me material things like private jets, but they are not what truly matters to me.

No more coach and until the day I die stiff
I've moved beyond the basics of life and will continue to strive for better until I die.

I am at a level most of y'all be satisfied with
Others may think my level of success is impressive, but it's merely a stepping stone for me.

Want some advice well here's my gift
I have advice to give based on my experience and success.

You're falling off you should go speed up the process
If someone is losing their success or stagnating, they need to work harder to keep improving.

Go somewhere and find a high cliff
If someone is not willing to work hard for their success, they should just quit and find something else to do.

Oh, it's all coming back to me now
I remember what it was like to struggle for success and how far I've come since then.

You saw me hot and got sour now you're actually foul
Some people were envious of my success and turned against me because of it.

Time is money I ain't wasting none, it has to be now
I am driven to succeed and won't waste any time in doing so.

The word legend's thrown around so causally now
The term 'legend' is used too much and has lost its significance.

I want it all, pardon my manners
I am ambitious and strive to achieve everything I can, even if it seems impossible to others.

But you've done nothing that matters
Some people have not achieved anything noteworthy or impactful in their lives.

Maybe I am not understanding your standards
I don't understand how someone can be content with a life of mediocrity.

See we measured in the money that you made, short
Many people only value success based on the amount of money earned, which is a shallow perspective.

It's not the same league, it's not even the same sport, now
Comparing levels of success is pointless when they are in completely different fields or industries.

And I remember I was stacking money
I worked hard to earn my success, even if it meant sacrificing things I wanted in the moment like clothes or sneakers.

Though I wanted clothes and Jordans, leather jacket money
Despite wanting material things, I still prioritized my finances towards building my success.

Now I want tobacco money
My goals have shifted from wanting material things to wanting to build long-term wealth and financial stability.

Where everything you sell, they keep on coming back to money
The success I pursue will not only come from making money, but also building a loyal following and reputation.

And I ain't even close to got-it-yet, don't get confused
Despite my success so far, I still have a long way to go and won't let complacency set in.

But everybody got choices, you can pick and choose
Everyone has the power to choose their own path in life and what success means to them.

These people disrespect the game until it gets abused
Some people only value a field or industry once it's been exploited and overused.

They saying Gerald's 'bout to kill 'em, but this isn't news
Others may be threatened by my ambition and success, but this is nothing new to me.

See, you're a player in the game, but playing different rules
Some people may be succeeding, but they are not playing by the same standards as me or others.

You're struggling, guess we'll just wait to see if this improves
For those struggling to achieve success, time will tell if they are able to improve and reach their goals.

You had a chance at the dance, but was missing queues
Some people had opportunities to succeed, but failed to take advantage of them due to poor decisions or strategy.

You couldn't get the steps down, 'cause these are different moves
Some people may not be able to achieve success because they are unfamiliar with the methods and strategies needed to do so.

Pay attention, life is like a dice game, and your life is like a bike lane
Life is unpredictable like a game of chance, and your level of success may be based on the environment or circumstances you are in.

There's more to buy then just a nice chain
Success means more than just buying material possessions to show off to others.

New flavor for you 'cause your life's plain
Some people may be stuck in a monotonous or unfulfilling life, and need a new perspective to achieve success.

A day inside the life with us could make your life change, yeah
Being around successful people may inspire others to make changes in their lives and pursue success.

'Cause when you used to it, other people ain't used to it
Once someone achieves success, it may seem normal to them, but others may still be impressed by it.

They only copy when you do do it
When someone achieves success, others may try to emulate them in hopes of achieving success themselves.

I'm the realest in it, but y'all don't show it
Despite my authenticity and realness, others may not recognize or appreciate it.

But in the back of y'all mind, y'all motherfucker's know it
Despite not showing it, others may still recognize my authenticity and success in the back of their minds.

I'm a poet with versatility, Biggie gave me 0 visibility
Despite my talent and versatility, I may not have the same level of visibility or recognition as other successful artists.

I wish him and the homie Pac was still alive
I respect and admire the late Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac, and wish they were still alive to inspire new artists and fans.

If they was, rap would be more live
If Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac were still alive, the rap genre would still be evolving and growing with their contributions.

But they not, so I'm filling in they space
Since Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac are no longer alive, I am continuing their legacy and contributing to the genre they helped shape.

Rap game Mount Rushmore, they carving out my face
I aspire to be remembered as one of the most iconic and influential figures in the history of rap music.

I done seen fly by nights on the cover of source and XXL
Some people have achieved success quickly and temporarily by getting featured on popular media platforms like Source and XXL.

Me and hip-hop thought about getting divorced and that's for real
At times, I've struggled to balance my love for hip-hop and achieving success in the industry, and may have considered leaving it altogether.

But I stay loyal to the broad that saved my life, my wife
Despite the challenges of the rap industry, I remain committed to pursuing it and contributing to the genre that has given me so much success and fulfillment.

If it wasn't for rap, I would've crapped out on the dice
Rap music has provided me with opportunities for success and fulfillment that I may not have found otherwise in life.
