Gerald - G-Eazy, Anthony Hamilton

You know?

Yeah

Am I still the Gerald that I been from the beginning?

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions

Should I be rapping, should I be singing?

Should he be losing, should he be winning?

Should he keep still in a knife in it?

Keep dissing, that’s just adding fuel to my engine

Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions (Yeah, uh)

Somebody in my life was a best friend to me

Been a minute since my guys sent a text to me

It really say something, think he’s judging me

Feel ten miles apart when you’re standing next to me

Lifestyles change, people grow apart

Won’t happen overnight, this shit had the slowest start

Different shit matter when you open up your heart

Addiction to celebrity could choke you from the start

Crazier than heroine, yeah, this shit hooks you

My uncle died of that, my dad told me, that’s a good dude

Never met him, only heard stories where it took you

And I’m just tryna live up to what they think that I should do

'Cause he’s got potential, he’s that precious

He’s that special, he could be Elvis

He should be the biggest, he should put his career first

But no one ever told me, I should go and put me first, yeah

Am I still the Gerald that I been from the beginning?

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions

Should I be rapping, should I be singing?

Should he be losing, should he be winning?

Should he keep still in a knife in it?

Keep dissing, that’s just adding fuel to my engine

Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions (Yeah, for real)

How could he feel lonely when he’s always surrounded?

How could he not indulge when he’s always around it?

How come he does drugs, could he still do it without it?

How could he fly to heights, somehow still staying grounded?

Some days I really feel like, I could’ve went for president

Some days I be yourself, to charter degenarate

Getting high, wasting my time, I’m not regretting it

People talking 'bout what I should be doing instead of it

But this is my life, at night I go to bed with it

Got some real demons, can’t seem to cut off the head of it

Pay for my decisions, feel like I just lost a bet with it

Maybe my success has been going straight to my head a bit

Maybe I’ve been listening too much

Maybe I’ve been drinking all the Kool-Aid and fruit punch

Maybe I got it, just stop tryna find help

Stop looking outside, and look for it in myself (For real)

Am I still the Gerald that I been from the beginning?

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions

Should I be rapping, should I be singing?

Should he be losing, should he be winning?

Should he keep still in a knife in it?

Keep dissing, that’s just adding fuel to my engine

Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions (I'm me, for real)

Always wash your, learn through repetition

Deliver platinum albums, you take it as a given?

Songs don’t write themselves, how you think they’re getting written?

Wanna judge me?

Then come trade me my position

Everyone is talking, everyone’s reacting

Take it all for granted, think these things just happen

Every stop, hopping off and on the bandwaggon

Hate the way I’m living, criticize my actions

Bought moms a house and the town was hella proud of it

Booked the next day, I did some shit you got a problem with

Almost fucked up a deal, was high and I was out of it

On a conference call on mushrooms, my words slurred a bit

Mind/By myself, who I am, all the shit I done

Right now I’m top two selling rappers where I’m from

And I ain’t number two, that only leaves one

I go at us, the biggest fucking artist when I’m done, for real

Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?

(Been from the

beginning, been from the beginning)

Ask ten people, you’ll get ten different opinions (Ten different opinions, ten,

ten different opinions)

Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?

(Been from the

beginning, been from the beginning)

Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?

(I go at us,

the biggest fucking artist when I’m done, for real)

Haha

Your side (These Things Happen Too)

Tell me you’ll love me for a million years

Then if it don’t work out

Then you can tell me goodbye
