Be Easy

(album: To Dream - 2018)

I remember like it's yesterday
Back when I was Westchester made
Back when I was like 5'5"
And none of these girls was getting next to me
When my voice was as high as I am now
When my nerves wouldn't let me on stage
I was cool but I never was a standout
Shit look what I became, uh

Rez let's kick it here for old times
Like we was way back in '09
Look right back when we had Danny in the crew
And my mom came through every showtime

Saying live easy, look at this crowd
5 years out you gon' talk about now
Believe me, don't you ever look down
Keep your head up and your feet on the ground

'Cause you got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na
You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na

I remember taking laps through the quad
Natty in the back of the jeep with the squad
All the girls laying on our lawn
While we're playing our song
Looking at us like, "Oh my God"
Thinking, "Man, if we could just do that
If we could get a song up on FreshNewTracks
If Waldo doesn't call the cops, if 101 had locks
If hotung didn't get so packed, woo!"

But Jerry and LP we were hungry
And ever since they heard me free people love me
64 bars deep on them Rza beats
In the backseat of the town and country
No time for stress, I'm blessed, I confess
I've been pressed tryna turn all of they no's into yes
I'm obsessed with being the best, ain't no time for rest
I'ma turn life's checkmates into cash checks

You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na
You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na

This is for 156 and for 4850
Rolling up spliffs 'cause all the dutches were gone
Back when we were just kids taking trains
Into the city singing, na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Let 'em know

You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na
You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na

You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na
You got to be easy, everything is alright
Got me feeling like na, na-na-na-na, na-na
