Eazy
Kanye West feat. The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life was never (Eazy)
My life was never (Eazy)
Started in my Cutlass clutchin' heat like it's an open oven
Puffin' chronic, Puff and Biggie out the window, speaker subbin'
Run into the Crips, it ain't no discussion
Bullet wounds drenched in Hennessy and teaspoons of Robitussin
Compton's amazed, Dr. Dre percussion
God, please grant my nigga eternal life, we need the beats
Aftermath where you fall asleep, you do not eat
And my belly is full, gorilla ridin' the bull
Banana clips in the pool, swan dive in Clase Azul
The opps, I'm on they ass, Grandmama whoopings in school
This Wilmington and Brazil where niggas die in they jewels
Too many Problems, too many YGs
So many ties to dollar signs, easy to end up on E
I got shot up like Columbine, the Crips descended on me
Sign my name on the dotted line, that was vengeance on beats
This is the way
(He was once a thug from around the way)
My life was never (Eazy)
My life was never (Eazy)
There it is, there it was
Don't interrupt just because it's no love
Shoulder shrug
How I ain't bring nothin' to the table, when I'm the table?
I'ma turn up the music, wake up the neighbors
I'ma get that "Thug Life" tatted 'cross the navel
This is how I am in real life, not just on cable
"Mr. Narcissist," tell me 'bout my arrogance
No more counselin', I don't negotiate with therapists
God, Ye, wanna let God in?
But tonight, I guess I'll let my pride win
Cousin Dre sent me scriptures, helped me see life better
Nigga, we havin' the best divorce ever
If we go to court, we'll go to court together
Matter of fact, pick up your sis, we'll go to Kourt's together
I watched four kids for like five hours today
I wear these Yeezy boots everywhere, even in the shower today
I got love for the nannies, but real family is better
The cameras watch the kids, y'all stop takin' the credit
Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door
What you think the point of really bein' rich for?
When you give 'em everything they only want more
Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores
Rich-ass kids, this ain't yo' mama's house
Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that Top Ramen out
God saved me from that crash
Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (who?)
And my new bitch bad, I know Illuminati mad
This that New-minati, bitch
This that two Bugatti rich
This that "God did this"
Only God did this
There it is, there it was
Don't interrupt, just because
Ain't no love, shoulder shrug
Won't he do it? Yes, he does
Won't he do it? Yes, he does
Won't he do it?
My life was never (Eazy)
This next one gon' be (Eazy)
(He was once a thug from around the way)
(He was once a thug from around the way, Eazy)
(He was, he was)
(He was, he was)
(He was once-a-a)
(Thug from- from a- from a-round the way)
In these lyrics, Kanye West is reflecting on his past as a tough, street-oriented individual. He acknowledges that his life has never been easy, suggesting that he has faced many challenges and obstacles. The opening lines describe his early days, driving a Cutlass and carrying a weapon while smoking marijuana and listening to artists like Puff Daddy and The Notorious B.I.G.
He mentions encountering the Crips, a notorious gang, and emphasizes that there is no room for negotiation or discussion when faced with them. He references getting injured and suffering concussions, but also highlights the influence of Dr. Dre and the impact of his beats. Kanye expresses a desire for eternal life for his friend, perhaps wishing for his music to live on even after death.
The lyrics also touch on the struggles of living in tough neighborhoods, where violence and crime are prevalent. In particular, Kanye mentions Wilmington and Brazil, places where individuals lose their lives over material possessions like jewelry. He references the dangers of associating with gangs and monetary greed, drawing a parallel between the risks he faced and the infamous Columbine school shooting.
The second part of the song delves into Kanye's self-perception and his relationships. He asserts that he brings value to the table and is not an empty presence. He highlights his fame and the attention he receives, acknowledging his narcissism but also expressing a desire to let God into his life. Kanye mentions his cousin Dre guiding him with scriptures and how their positive influence has helped him see life in a better light.
The lyrics then take a more personal turn, referencing Kanye's divorce from Kim Kardashian and his role as a father. He mentions spending time with his children, wearing his own Yeezy boots even in the shower. He criticizes the nannies for taking credit and highlights his commitment as a father by buying the house next door to ensure his presence in their lives. Kanye questions the purpose of wealth, noting that it can breed entitlement and a desire for more.
In the final lines, Kanye boasts about his new relationship and implies that it has caused controversy, suggesting that the "Illuminati" may be upset with his success. He celebrates his wealth and attributes it to God's work, mentioning the luxury of owning two Bugatti cars. The lyrics conclude with acknowledgment that Kanye's life has never been easy, but there is hope for a better future.
