Easy Made

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On Flatbush, I learned to stand still Black coat, cold hands, and a calm that kills They call me Easy, like I don't feel nothin' But my eyes say more when the case starts drummin' White collar talk in a back room dim Name on the ledger, no trace on a whim I move like smoke through a cracked front door One look from me, then you want no more [Pre-Chorus] Hear that floorboard groan? That means I came home A little prayer, a little debt And a promise they won't forget [Chorus] Easy, Easy American Made Easy, Easy I don't need a parade Easy, Easy Brooklyn in my veins Easy, Easy They say my name in chains [Verse 2] Late-night booth with a chipped green light Two men talking, neither one looks right A cousin vanished, a watch came back Same gold clasp, same small crack I keep receipts in a blue steel case No loud threats, just a steady face If the bosses ask, I was never there If you saw my shadow, then you looked too near [Pre-Chorus] Hear that floorboard groan? That means I came home A little prayer, a little debt And a promise they won't forget [Chorus] Easy, Easy American Made Easy, Easy I don't need a parade Easy, Easy Brooklyn in my veins Easy, Easy They say my name in chains [Bridge] One more card on the table One more lie I can carry I was built in the hard light From the docks to the ferry If the night asks why I just nod and smile Some men chase the crown I just move the files [Chorus] Easy, Easy American Made Easy, Easy I don't need a parade Easy, Easy Brooklyn in my veins Easy, Easy They say my name in chains
