EAZY (inspired by the song of the same name)
They wanted to say my life was a wrap
So I started to rap
I was the gift of many Christmases
Wish I could take my presence back
Oh wait I meant the material things too
Wish I could take my presents back
Since you knew I was too good be to true
Before I said it was a wrap
Easy
It’s never easy
You learn the hard way
One had to put two together
Now it’s three the hard way
Not the 70’s movie
We may have traveled together in the past
But you never moved me
Sad you had to find out about yourself
When you had to lose me
I didn’t have to say I was right
I decided to write
Any sins not tragedies
No more panic at this disco
The music led me to the light
This not the same one you turn out
When you say good night
This that self reflection
Focusing on what’s right

2022 has been the year of collaborations thus far and we’re only three weeks in. The next one comes in the form of frequent collaborators, The Game & Kanye West for the new track, EAZY. Over the last decade, these two hip hop heavyweights have come together numerous times to make classic hits and I expected nothing less from this effort.
The Hit-Boy produced track samples the late rapper, Eazy E’s “Eazy Duz It” single. The track has been the topic of discussion not only by Kanye’s controversial lyrics in regards to his personal life but The Game’s inspiration behind the track. To sum up, he believes life should be easy for everyone but we are the ones that complicate it for ourselves and others. You can ponder their own interpretation of the track by checking it out on all music streaming services.
