You know that when G-Eazy drops one song, another one will follow. The Bay Area rapper has become king of the double drop, always delivering new music in pairs of two (or more). The rapper recently ventured into cover territory, opting to take on classic records from The Beatles, but now he’s back in hip-hop-pop form, with “Moana” featuring rapper on the rise Jack Harlow, and “Angel Cry” which features pop singer Devon Baldwin (who also happens to be of Bay Area origins). The former is the definition of easy listening, catchy hip-hop, with production from Zaytoven, where “Angel Cry” slides much further into pop-ballad land, with a hook from Baldwin. The chorus honestly wouldn’t sound out of a place on an Eminem single, while G-Eazy’s verses are introspective, reflecting on the past year, including the ups and downs of his personal life.
Which record are you digging more between the two? “Moana” received a cameo-packed music video, while “Angel Cry” is relegated to a black and white visualizer.
G-Eazy – Angel Cry (ft. Devon Baldwin) (prod. Michael Dunaief & David Pramik)’

[Chorus: Devon Baldwin with G-Eazy, G-Eazy]
You know you made an angel cry
You’ll regret it till the day you die
I wish I could be by your side
But there ain’t no place for
Someone who makes an angel cry (Cry)
An angel cry (Cry)
An angel cry (Cry)
There ain’t no place for
Someone who makes you cry
(Cry, cry, cry) Cry
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Now it’s time to say goodbye
[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
Yeah
I made this song cry, cause I can’t shed a tear
Recognize the fucked up shit I did to get us here
Nights with my demons, I’m so far away from Heaven here
But I’m still doing me, and shit’s been getting better here
New crib, new whips
Vintage Rollie cost more than the latest model (Model)
I’m dating models, in my bed, it’s a naked model (Model)
Victory laps, we shakin’ bottles
And spray ’em on the foreigns
Life is never boring, made 20 million touring
I wanted to love you, but my career was more important
When it rains it pours, so I got this liquor pouring
It’s a band-aid for the pain
That shit’ll come right back in the morning
You know this, yeah
[Chorus: Devon Baldwin with G-Eazy, G-Eazy]
You know you made an angel cry
You’ll regret it till the day you die
I wish I could be by your side
But there ain’t no place for
Someone who makes an angel cry (Cry)
An angel cry (Cry)
An angel cry (Cry)
There ain’t no place for
Someone who makes you cry
(Cry, cry, cry) Cry
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Now it’s time to say goodbye (Yeah)
[Verse 2: G-Eazy]
(Yeah)
I got my problems, never lied about ’em
And sure enough, they showed themselves
And you cried about ’em
(Listen)
Pursuing vices, what’s a life without ’em?
Cause they’ll still be on my side for
Them times you weren’t on mine
But I knew I wasn’t right to always push you to the left
Pretending I’m protecting you from secrets that I kept (Kept)
It hurt me when you left, but that shit, I had to accept
So when you chose to take that step
I gave you nothing but respect
Sometimes I need to hear how much you miss me though (Yeah)
Sometimes I need to know it’s not conditional (Aye)
Hey, I thought I’d be alright, that shit hit different though
But, fuck it, in a way, I’ll never change the way I’m living though
For real (Yeah)
[Chorus: Devon Baldwin with G-Eazy, G-Eazy]
You know you made an angel cry
You’ll regret it till the day you die
I wish I could be by your side
But there ain’t no place for
Someone who makes an angel cry (Cry)
An angel cry (Cry)
An angel cry (Cry)
There ain’t no place for
Someone who makes you cry
(Cry, cry, cry) Cry
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Now it’s time to say goodbye
