[Verse 1]
Every night of the year
The dancer confronts her fear
'Bout her image and her worth
Or whether she's doomed or cursed
To be insecure for the rest of her days
And as she climbs up on a stage
She glances at the perverts who pay her wage
She says, "Life is suffering, oh, yes, I know
But could you let me go?"
Uh

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the one you're gonna miss
I'm the one that you'll hold dear
About me, they'll reminisce
Every night of the year

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Every night of the year
The writer confronts his fear
Has he done all he could
And will he be understood?
Or will his work be a dime-store luxury?
And as he sits at his desk
He starts to burn up all his texts
He says, "Pain is pleasure, or so they say
But me, I gotta find my own way"

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the one you're gonna miss
I'm the one that you'll hold dear
About me, they'll reminisce
Every night of the year

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3]
Every night of the year
The actress confronts her fear
Little one steps on a stage
She thinks, "What am I doing here?"
And as she takes her mark, she says, wondering, "Is this a phase?"
And is this all a gift
Or is she missing all of it?
But if she sees her mom smile
Then it really drives her wild
'Cause her acceptance and approval was worth her while

[Chorus]
When there's nowhere to run and hide
It's just me and you behind the mirror
She keeps screamin' inside
Every night of the year

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

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.
