“Eazy” is a track from The Game and Ye presumably named after Eazy-E, with both rappers making a play on the deceased rapper’s name and speaking on the challenges each has faced in their respective lives.
The track was originally teased on January 9, 2022, where multiple silent videos of Ye, Game, and Hit-Boy in the studio were posted by Kevin Wong on Instagram. Short snippets of Ye rapping would later surface and later Game for what is assumed to be the same song. Ye posted on Instagram the original title, “MY LIFE WAS NEVER EAZY” and the cover art on January 13. The collaboration debuted on iHeart radio’s Real 92.3 on January 14. It then became exclusively available to Spotify for 24 hours until it arrived to all streaming services.
This song presumably belongs to The Game and Hit-Boy as they have posted pictures to Instagram working on a collaboration album. However, when Ye discussed this song and its release date, no specific album was mentioned. Pusha T was also reportedly featured on the track but he wasn’t involved in the released version.
The Game & Kanye West - Eazy Lyrics
[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
My life was never (Eazy)
My life was never (Eazy)
[Verse 1: The Game]
Started in my Cutlass clutchin' heat like it's an open oven
Puffin' chronic, Puff and Biggie out the window, speaker subbin'
Run into the crips, it ain't no discussion
Bullet wounds drenched in Hennessey and teaspoons of Robitussin
Head up faze, got a few concussion, yeah
Compton's amazed, Dr. Dre percussion
God, please grant my nigga eternal life, we need the beats
Aftermath where you fall asleep, you do not eat
And my belly is full, gorilla ridin' the bull
Banana clips in the pool, swan dive in Clase Azul
The opps, I'm on they ass, grandmama whoopings in school
This Wilmington and Brazil where niggas die in they jewels
Too many Problems, too many YGs
So many ties to dollar signs, easy to end up on E
I got shot up like Columbine, the crips descended on me
Sign my name on the dotted line, that was vengeance on beats
This is the way
[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
My life was never (Eazy)
My life was never (Eazy)
[Refrain: Kanye West]
There it is, there it was
Don't interrupt just because
It's no love
Shoulder shrug (Shrug)
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
How I ain't bring nothin' to the table when I'm the table?
I'ma turn up the music, wake up the neighbors
I'ma get that "Thug Life" tatted 'cross the navel
This is how I am in real life, not just on cable
"Mr. Narcissist," tell me 'bout my arrogance
No more counselin', I don't negotiate with therapists
God Ye, wanna let God in?
But tonight, I guess I'll let my pride win
Cousin Dre sent me scriptures, helped me see life better
Nigga, we havin' the best divorce ever
If we go to court, we'll go to court together
Matter of fact, pick up your sis, we'll go to Kourt's together
I watched four kids for like five hours today
I wear these Yeezy boots everywhere, even in the shower today
I got love for the nannies, but real family is better
The cameras watch the kids, y'all stop takin' the credit
Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door
What you think the point of really bein' rich for?
When you give 'em everything, they only want more
Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores
Rich-ass kids, this ain't yo' mama house
Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that Top Ramen out
God saved me from that crash
Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (Who?)
And my new bitch bad
I know Illuminati mad
This that New-minati, bitch
This that two Bugatti rich
This that "God did this"
Only God did this
[Refrain: Kanye West]
There it is, there it was
Don't interrupt, just because
Ain't no love, shoulder shrug
Won't He do it? Yes He does
Won't He do it? Yes He does
Won't He do it?
[Chorus: Kanye West & Michel'le]
My life was never (Eazy)
This next one gon' be (Eazy)
[Outro: Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
(He was once a thug from around the way, easy)
(He was—, he was—)
(He was—, he was—)
(He was once a—, once a—)
(Thug from a—, thug from a—, from around the way)
