Easy
Thao with The Get Down Stay Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sad people dance, too

I know the stories of those before me

You have so much information
But you only know why not
But how come, how come?
Look at all the time they got

Before me
I make it easy easy, easy easy
Easy, easy to stop
I make it easy easy, easy easy
Easy, easy enough

But don’t you let me see you weigh the worth
I don’t get to leave, 'cause you left first
So don’t you let me see you weigh the worth
Before me

I make it easy easy, easy easy
Easy, easy to stop




Are you gonna keep it easy easy, easy easy
Easy, easy or what
