Jimmy Easy

Songtext

[Verse 1] Brownstone hall, cold stairwell Jimmy got the coat, kept the stare well Parchment on the table, red wax seal One phone call and the whole room froze still Brooklyn rain on the window pane Black sedan idled, no name, no frame He said, "I move quiet, I move clean" American Made with a razor in the seam [Pre-Chorus] Count the steps Count the breath One wrong word Bring the debt He don't talk He just nods When the dark rolls in He gets the job [Chorus] Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy American Made, moving breezy Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy Say it soft, he make it easy No loose ends, no mercy No loose ends, no mercy Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy American Made, moving breezy [Verse 2] Tin tray dinner, half-lit room He read the map by the fade of the moon Old five borough scars on his hands Every favor came with a buried plan Cuff links glint on a black wool sleeve One for the mouth and one for the leave If the boss needs silence, he brings the hush If the fear runs high, he turns it to dust [Pre-Chorus] Count the steps Count the breath One wrong word Bring the debt He don't talk He just nods When the dark rolls in He gets the job [Chorus] Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy American Made, moving breezy Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy Say it soft, he make it easy No loose ends, no mercy No loose ends, no mercy Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy American Made, moving breezy [Bridge] In the mirror, he don't see a saint Just a clean-cut face and a pocket of pain From the docks to the DeKalb line He learned that love and fear trade time So he walks like the floor won't break Like every promise was a debt to pay [Chorus] Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy American Made, moving breezy Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy Say it soft, he make it easy No loose ends, no mercy No loose ends, no mercy Jimmy Easy, Jimmy Easy American Made, moving breezy
