Dying Is Easy Lyrics – Kevin Gates, NoCap

Dying Is Easy Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Kevin Gates]
Kevin opens up about the pressure of people expecting a lot from him. Whenever he meets people, they want to talk or congratulate him, and he feels grateful but also knows it took a lot to get here. He talks about his struggles with dark thoughts, remembering close friends who passed away, and women who left him. He admits trusting too many people became his weakness, which led to betrayal and loss. Even though life has tested him with hardships, he always found a way to rise again and stand tall. His journey became proof of his strength and faith, though it wasn’t easy. At the same time, he points out that many people secretly wish he would fail or even die, showing the hate and negativity he deals with behind the scenes.

[Chorus: Kevin Gates]
Kevin explains that death might be simple, but surviving and pushing through life’s struggles is the real challenge. He also mixes in some raw talk about relationships and lust, while flexing his competitive side in music, saying even the best are fighting for spots while he stands strong in his lane.

[Post-Chorus: NoCap]
NoCap compares love to gasoline, saying it’s powerful, but when it burns, it can be dangerous and painful.

[Verse 2: NoCap]
NoCap talks about life on the road and the trust he has to place in strangers, from pilots to drivers. He mentions giving money to people around him but also points out that kindness has limits when others don’t respect it. He contrasts how he uses his money responsibly, like investing in lawyers, with others wasting it in clubs. He explains how many rappers act fake and are not real like him. Despite the luxury of cars and city life, he still feels disconnected, unable to see life’s simple beauty. He shares how someone left him, but instead of giving them the satisfaction of seeing him weak, he stands firm. He admits he doesn’t depend on women, as he can let go easily. Betrayal from those he helped leaves him scarred, and he even notices when people try to hurt him intentionally. He reflects on past mistakes, times when he pretended to be perfect, and even moments when he was around real violence, like witnessing a murder, shaping his outlook on life and trust.

[Chorus: Kevin Gates]
Here again, Kevin reminds us that the real struggle is living, not dying. He mixes heavy thoughts about pain and survival with blunt comments about s*x, relationships, and competition, showing both his vulnerable side and his unshakable confidence as an artist.

[Verse 3: Kevin Gates]
Kevin shares struggles in his personal relationships, especially with women. He talks about dealing with problems directly and not being the type to just talk without action. He dislikes constant nagging when he’s busy working, but he also shows his softer side, saying he buys gifts and tries to provide everything to make his partner happy. Still, no matter how much he gives, he feels that nothing satisfies her, and he admits he also can’t be satisfied, especially when it comes to staying with one woman. He stresses that he is different from other men, but people still seem unhappy with him despite his efforts. This constant lack of appreciation weighs on him, but instead of giving in to dark thoughts, he tells himself to push through and not give attention to suicidal feelings, showing resilience in his ongoing battles with personal demons.

[Chorus: Kevin Gates]
Kevin repeats the core idea that death is simple compared to the challenges of living. Alongside that, he keeps the raw, braggadocious tone about s*x and competition, reminding listeners that while life is tough, he faces it with strength, confidence, and unapologetic honesty.
