Take It Easy Lyrics

Take it easy

Sometimes I think it's hard to be me

And that my life is lacking magic, just as static as a broken TV

Sometimes I feel I need a lifestyle change

I'm overweight and all this weight on my shoulders I can't afford to gain

I tend to complain bout a lack of peace

How my brain is crowded and how I always come back to these rhymes

In my old journalism notes when all I had was hope

Back in South Hall 223, we should've recorded these

Sometimes I feel that I don't feel enough

That I be so hard on myself sometimes that I don't even feel no love

That's prolly why I lack the drive to get my shorty back and now her name is mostly followed up with a was

It was my fault

And I admit it now, my thoughts are vivid now

Except the evil few that try to whisper "boy you finished now"

I guess it's time that I go make my rounds to end them now before they get me down and I be moping driving cross the town

Damn, that's how it happens

I got a goal to find the balance between easing up my mind and rapping

Perfecting crafts can be disastrous

If you ain't came for some air then you'll look up and see another month has passed again

This what the old folks mean when they say you grow up quickly

Niggas come up from that water and be 50

And never take their time til the longer stretch is behind them

And til they see that ribbon at the finish line so nigga take it easy

And just live in the present somedays

I know that peace of mind can be attained in more than one way

I think to lead the blind could also be just fixing your ways

To know your flaws should never make you ashamed

No need to blame, just take it easy

We all just wanna live freely

And I can be the one you lean on if you need me

Just take it slow

Cuz you never wanna lose control

Or reach the point you gotta let it go, shit

Y'all take it easy

To all my niggas from the Northside

Niggas from the Southside (Y'all take it easy)

To all my niggas from the Westside
Niggas from the Eastside (Y'all take it easy)

To all my niggas worldwide

All my niggas worldwide (Y'all take it easy)

To all my niggas worldwide

I write this verse on what's likely the final day of Auntie Anne's life

Shit has got me thinking bout mine

And how my head is always up in the sky

And now I'm finally back on Earth and came to terms with my blindness in past times

I'm not a holy nigga

At least I know I don't be the only nigga

If life's a problem, dawg I don't know the figures

Back in Memphis my homies tryna cross the shit on their wishlist

But we got dreams bigger than paper

My homie JB got cancer and she ascended to Heaven

So when it rains blessings I try to pause for a second

Think I took living for granted

Had my list of sins, sometimes I've been selfish

It got me wondering why I never perished

I use that as a lesson tho

My mind be running fast gotta take it slow

Can't worry bout the future much it's too unpredictable

I've been inside my head enough it's like I've been in a hole

So please don't hit the door before I let you know my nigga take it easy

And just live in the present somedays

I know that peace of mind can be attained in more than one way

I think to lead the blind could also be just fixing your ways

To know your flaws should never make you ashamed

No need to blame, just take it easy

We all just wanna live freely

And I can be the one you lean on if you need me

Just take it slow

Cuz you never wanna lose control

Or reach the point you gotta let it go

Y'all take it easy

To all my niggas from the Northside

Niggas from the Southside (Y'all take it easy)

To all my niggas from the Westside
Niggas from the Eastside (Y'all take it easy)

To all my niggas worldwide

All my niggas worldwide (Y'all take it easy)

To all my niggas worldwide
