[Intro: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
You know?
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Am I still the Gerald that I been from the beginning?
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll get ten different opinions
~#**************#~
Should I be rappin, should I be singin?
~#**************#~
Should he be losin, should he be winnin?
~#**************#~
Should he keep pitchin still in the ninth inning?
~#**************#~
Keep dissin, thats just addin fuel to my engine
~#**************#~
Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll get ten different opinions (Yeah, uh, for real)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Somebody in my life was a best friend to mе
~#**************#~
Been a minute since my guy sent a tеxt to me
~#**************#~
It really say something, think hes judging me
~#**************#~
Feel ten miles apart when youre standing next to me
~#**************#~
Lifestyles change, people grow apart
~#**************#~
Wont happen overnight, this shit had the slowest start
~#**************#~
Different shit matters when you open up your heart
~#**************#~
Addiction to celebrity could choke you from the start
~#**************#~
Crazier than heroin, yeah, this shit hooks you
~#**************#~
My uncle died of that, my dad told me, thats a good dude
~#**************#~
Never met him, only heard stories where it took you
~#**************#~
And Im just tryna live up to what they think that I should do
~#**************#~
‘Cause hes got potential, hes that precious
~#**************#~
Hes 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Am I still the Gerald that I been from the beginning?
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll get ten different opinions
~#**************#~
Should I be rappin, should I be singin?
~#**************#~
Should he be losin, should he be winnin?
~#**************#~
Should he keep pitchin still in the ninth inning?
~#**************#~
Keep dissin, thats just addin fuel to my engine
~#**************#~
Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll get ten different opinions (Yeah, for real)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
How could he feel lonely when hes always surrounded?
~#**************#~
How could he not indulge when hes always around it?
~#**************#~
How come he does drugs, could he still do it without it?
~#**************#~
How could he fly the highest, somehow still staying grounded?
~#**************#~
Some days I really feel like, I couldve run for president
~#**************#~
Some days I wanna be a self-destructive degenerate
~#**************#~
Getting high, wasting my time, Im not regretting it
~#**************#~
People talking bout what I should be doin instead of it
~#**************#~
But this is my life, at night, I go to bed with it
~#**************#~
Got some real demons, cant 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 been listening too much
~#**************#~
Maybe I been drinking all the Kool-Aid and fruit punch
~#**************#~
Maybe I got it, just stop tryna find help
~#**************#~
Stop lookin outside, and look for it in myself (For real)
~#**************#~
[Chorus: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Am I still the Gerald that I been from the beginning?
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll get ten different opinions
~#**************#~
Should I be rappin, should I be singin?
~#**************#~
Should he be losin, should he be winnin?
~#**************#~
Should he keep pitchin still in the ninth inning?
~#**************#~
Keep dissin, thats just addin fuel to my engine
~#**************#~
Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning?
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll get ten different opinions (Im me, for real)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Rinse, wash, repeat, learn through repetition
~#**************#~
Deliver platinum albums, you take it as a given?
~#**************#~
Songs dont write themselves, how you think theyre getting written?
~#**************#~
Wanna judge me? Then come trade me my position
~#**************#~
Everyone is talkin, everyones reactin
~#**************#~
Take it all for granted, think these things just happen
~#**************#~
Every stop, hoppin off and on the bandwagon
~#**************#~
Hate the way Im 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 myself, who I am, all the shit I done
~#**************#~
Right now, Im top two selling rappers where Im from
~#**************#~
And I aint number two, that only leaves one
~#**************#~
I go out the biggest fuckin artist when Im done, for real
~#**************#~
[Chorus / Bridge: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Is he still the Gerald that he been from the beginning? (Been from the beginning, been from the beginning)
~#**************#~
Ask ten people, youll 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 out the biggest fucking artist when Im done, for real)
~#**************#~
[Outro: G-Eazy & Johnny Mathis]
~#**************#~
Haha
~#**************#~
Your side (These Things Happen Too)
~#**************#~
Tell me youll love me for a million years
~#**************#~
Then if it dont work out
~#**************#~
Then you can tell me goodbye
