[Intro]
I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
Shh! Shh!
Yea, yea, yea, yea
I don't rap if the beat don't pound
I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
G-Eazy, yea
I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
I don't, I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
Hello

[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
It's the hardest working rapper I'mma do it until you're tired of me
Catch me in the lab with a pad and a fire beat
Purpell Treez and a session working privately
The endo, show love, and the babes what inspires me
Now I'm cross the country, all these labels want to hire me
I'll probably sign a deal, blow the budget, let them fire me
Take that and run do my promo virally
I'll write it, and record it, and produce it entirely
But I can't help to think about the irony
I drop mixtapes to embrace all the piracy
Shit I'm just out to get my notoriety
And give Hip-Hop just a little more variety
The little dude goes hard, yup this is true
And this beat feels like someone is kicking you
Flying high about to blow like a missile do
Now everybody shut the fuck up like I'm shushing you

[Hook]
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down

[Bridge]
I don't rap if the beat don't pound
I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
(OS) I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
(YM) I don't, I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound

[Verse 2: OSYM]
Like a library how I'm dropping knowledge
Pennies for your thought like I got a hole in my wallet
Or pocket if the beat don't pound, nigga drop it
I rock it a cappella, develop better my concepts
Nonsense, these rap crap niggas no contest
Lyrical warfare, each "uh" is a bombshell
It's awesome, awesome, sicker than your average
Your boy could kill your album with two lines filled with ad-libs
Ain't talking about a bad dis I'm talking about decent
Sun god flow sent [?] is nearly reaping
As a recent I burn across sheets like Ku-Klux
Drop a duce and this bodicious dissing is proof of
I'm the [?] over mouth stress and quite down
Ain't a game, they just scrimmage my image when I'm in town
I pleaded my case, you be the judge, who's winning now
The Don flame on G go ahead tell them to simmer down

[Hook]
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down
Shh! don't make no sound
This is the part where the beat breaks down

[Outro]
I don't rap if the beat don't pound
I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound
I don't, I don't, I don't rap if the beat don't pound

G-Eazy

Gerald Earl Gillum, better known as G-Eazy, is an RCA signed rapper from Oakland, California. He has gained traction in the rap game, with his iconic dapper style, timeless sampling, and mix of West Coast and Southern Rap influences.

While G-Eazy’s rap career goes far back into his early teens, his first major hit “Runaround Sue” from The Endless Summer set him on the fast track to success. Years later G-Eazy’s release of “I Mean It” gave him his first platinum record and a platform to show the world what he is made of. One of his biggest and most well-known hits to date is the platinum record, “Me, Myself, & I” from When It’s Dark Out, which peaked at number 7 on the Hot 100.

He then went on to score two more smash hits in the form of “No Limit” with Cardi B and A$AP Rocky and “Him & I” with then-girlfriend Halsey. Both songs cracked the top twenty, peaking at numbers 4 and 14, respectively. Both hits were tracks off his 2017 album, The Beautiful & Damned which peaked on the Billboard 200 at the number 3 spot.
