lyrics
(Verse 1 - Anthony Kannon)
Take it easy ‘fore you have a heart attack
The bars are back
Twenty dollars worth of quarters in a sock, like I’m walking to the laundromat
Beat him till his jaw's cracked
Throwing bullets like Carson Wentz
The body left an awful stench
Open up the chop shop, toss the wrench
I’ve been getting back on my bully, they be saying it’s not fair
Unsolved murders, I don’t know if the cops care
Stop there, you gon' get a target on ya back
Filled two duffle bags, started hauling off the pack
Started singing like Hall and Oates
Can’t stop, until the job finished, got a lot to go
Told him lock and load
You be dancing round the topic, he ain’t straight forward
Hurry up, if you break you buy, gotta' pay for it
One thing I’ve learned is I can’t control their beef
I just gotta' make it home safely
(Hook 1 Shea)
It’s so easy
Riding through the streets getting paid like I do
It’s so easy
Riding through the streets getting paid like I do
Take it easy
I’m getting what I’m getting yet I’m paying my dues
Take it easy
I’m getting what I’m getting yet I’m paying my dues
(Verse 2 Justo the MC)
Ayo be easy bruh
You know I’m from the bully god
East Medina
Where I grew up on the boulevard
Nowadays I’m flabbergasted
All I see is frauds
Talking all that tough shit,
But know you ain’t really hard
Ain’t claiming I am, but I know I’m not
Never fraudulent,
I learned & listened from the block,
That’s why I keep it chill,
All about my dollars bills,
You see how the drama builds,
Niggas always in they feels,
Steel sharpened steel,
Only right I roll with Kannon,
Fuck Justo, the teller call me Mr Shannon,
You looking stressed pah,
I saw you on the corner scrambling,
Sometimes it’s the simple things,
Keep off that corner gambling,
With your life, bump strife,
Learn a yoga pose,
Or meditate, find space tryta' keep control,
Yeah I’m being a troll,
But trust this from the soul,
I’m from the mud so it’s nothing to
light my load, take it easy mane
(Hook 2 Shea)
It’s so easy
Riding through the streets getting paid like I do
It’s so easy
Riding through the streets getting paid like I do
Take it easy
I’m getting what I’m getting yet I’m paying my dues
Take it easy
I’m getting what I’m getting yet I’m paying my dues
