G‐Eazy's lyrical narrative delves into the dichotomy of success and its accompanying tribulations. The artist juxtaposes his current affluence with past struggles, highlighting themes of envy and recognition. The recurring motif of "scary nights in the city" symbolizes the precariousness and perils that accompany a high-profile lifestyle. G‐Eazy reflects on his journey from limited options to opulent choices, using vivid imagery like "two yellow Lambos look like Pikachus" to underscore his transformation. Despite material success, he acknowledges the persistent scrutiny and jealousy from others. The lyrics also touch on self-reliance and introspection, as evidenced by lines such as "writin' notes to myself." Ultimately, G‐Eazy's verses convey a complex portrait of fame—its allure, its isolating effects, and the resilience required to navigate it.
Scary Nights
Lyrics
Yeah
Yee
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, yeah
Scary nights in the city, yeah (scary nights in the city)
Cut the lights in the city, yeah (cut the lights in the city)
They don't wanna see the boys who came with me (came with me)
They don't wanna see us prosper, they envy (they envy)
Writin' notes to myself, ain't no notary (ain't no notary)
All my cars black, they still notice me (they still notice me)
Hunnid cats 'round me, they still notice me (ayy)
Dressed in all black, they still know it's me (they still know it's me)
Used to have no options, I can't pick or choose
Two yellow Lambos look like Pikachus
You just another person I don't pay attention to
But I just put your bitch on my list of things to do
Uh, 'cause lately I've been feelin' cruel
Vegas residency blew it all at the pool
At the high rollers table blowing condos like it's cool
They like, "Damn, with all that money, could've took the kids to school"
What I do? Built a school, so I can take 'em all to school
Now that's cruel, I got bored and blew 50 on the crew
But my homies, they ain't used to that, 'cause this is all new
I told them if I got it, then there's nothing they can't do
Scary nights in the city, yeah (scary nights in the city)
Cut the lights in the city, yeah (cut the lights in the city)
They don't wanna see the boys who came with me (came with me)
They don't wanna see us prosper, they envy (they envy)
Writin' notes to myself, ain't no notary (ain't no notary)
All my cars black, they still notice me (they still notice me)
Hunnid cats 'round me, they still notice me (ayy)
Dressed in all black, they still know it's me (they still know it's me)
Okay, I been about my butter, pop the bread out like a toaster
These haters only see me on a billboard or a poster
I been so driven, don't know why I need a chauffeur
Never seen a limit, I'm a No Limit soldier
Shocking in the silk, should have signed to Master P
I'ma need a NDA and I'ma need to see ID, uh
Hater, R-I-P, please get off my T-I-P
Gave 'em hit after hit, came out swingin' like Ali
I'm G, fuck your name, look, just tell me your IG
'Cause if she follow me then she gon' probably swallow me
Yeah, they see me see a ticket, I'm a walking lottery
That's why I don't got no kids, fuck that baby mama beef
If you're sending shots at me, make it Louis Thirteen
Came up from the dirt clean to a hater's worst dream
But this brick house, this Stillhouse, I bet she thirsty
And I stacked 30 M's before I turned 30 (yee)
Scary nights in the city, yeah (scary nights in the city)
Cut the lights in the city, yeah (cut the lights in the city)
They don't wanna see the boys who came with me (came with me)
They don't wanna see us prosper, they envy (they envy)
Writin' notes to myself, ain't no notary (ain't no notary)
All my cars black, they still notice me (they still notice me)
Hunnid cats 'round me, they still notice me (they still notice me)
Dressed in all black, they still know it's me (they still know it's me)
At ten I used to want the Charizard, all holographic
Now I take some show money straight to Diamond District
I want the white and pink diamonds, listen, I'm specific
I woke up to all my dreams, listen, life's terrific
Look, I make more than the suits working Wall Street twice my age
It's a half a mil' a night to make these PUMAs touch a stage
I'll send it to my lawyer, I won't even touch a page
Or just pay me in whiskey and I show up just to rage
Woke up at 2PM, I need a bagel and a coffee
Posted in Manhattan throwing supermodels off me
They sick of all the flexing, they say they want the old me
This don't get old that fast and I acclimated slowly
You're acting funny style, I can't fool with that
Uh, rest in peace, Nipsey, wearing blue with that
I land private with the yadada, yeah, we flew with that
Just give me your girlfriend, bro you don't know what to do with that, come on
Scary nights in the city, yeah (scary nights in the city)
Cut the lights in the city, yeah (cut the lights in the city)
They don't wanna see the boys who came with me (came with me)
They don't wanna see us prosper, they envy (they envy)
Writin' notes to myself, ain't no notary (ayy)
All my cars black, they still notice me (yee)
Hunnid cats 'round me, they still notice me (they still notice me)
Dressed in all black, they still know it's me
(They still know it's me, they still know it's me)
(They still know it's me, they still know it's me)
(They still know it's me, they still know it's me)
(They still know it's me, they still know it's me)
(They still know it's me, they still know it's me)
(They still know it's me, they still know it's me)
(They still know it's me)
