Yo, Real Elements
A-Skillz
Crafty Cuts
Dr. Luke
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make you smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me, it's things like being an MC
All I need in this crazy world is me and a peace of mind
I'm trying to find that happiness that exists in things we overlook
Like a song with deep lyrics and a catchy hook
The cinema is cool, but I'd rather read a book
The simple things like a cordless mic to clutch
And some banging instrumentals I can eat for lunch
To make the crowd get the hell up like Pharoahe Monch
The little things on this planet that we take for granted
Like living on your own and being independent
Breathing oxygen and living in the present
And two eardrums that enable you to listen
Being outside, not locked in a prison
I'd rather have that than rocks that shine and glisten
Or a brand new Porsche with keys in the ignition
You've gotta be a simple man to fit that description
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make you smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me, it's things like being an MC
Whatever happened to rapping and standing for what you believe in?
MCs became famous not because they were beefing
Battles were not personal, I wouldn't punch your teeth in
No one died over music, hip hop was not grieving
I miss those cheap videos and live shows
Where MCs from any coast did collabos
The industry was family, friends, not foes
Instead of shooting guns in the club, you'd throw bows
It's no longer simple now, anything goes
Just to rock the mic, you need expensive clothes
And company logos, everybody knows
I chose to keep it simple and break those laws
Compose these tight flows and rhyme for a cause
Compose these tight flows and rhyme for a cause
Compose these tight flows and rhyme for a cause
Compose these tight flows and rhyme for a cause
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make you smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me, it's things like being an MC
What you hear is what you get, on CD or cassette
Even live on the stage when I bomb your set
Just a mic and a DJ, why complicate it?
This is how I look at life, it's not fabricated
I've dedicated the track to nothing but simplicity
No lights or cameras, I don't need publicity
The audience and hands in the air is what I'm asking
Anything less should be thrown into the trash can
This is not a script in a movie, I'm not acting
To live what you write in life, there's nothing greater
If you don't feel this now, you're gonna feel it later
As soon as A-Skillz flips on the fader
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make you smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me, it's things like being an MC
