a Simpler Time (feat. Mereba)

Woke up today, said I'm getting it right Been up some days and I been up some nights (some nights, some days) I caught the plane and I didn't look twice All for the simplest life (simple life) Doo-doo, doo-doo Doo, doo Doo-doo, doo-doo Doo, doo She say the little things matter, they show her she needed If you can provide 'em then she won't be leaving The man in my family can't be no teachers You learn what you see and no (we didn't see it) Money can't be the security for her But it's important even if you're poor White picket fence and a wreath on the door We from the basement, concrete on the floor Concrete on the deck with a rim, I'm calling check In the simple autumn weather, give my daughter all that's left When her father laid to rest The money never made me, I'm more than I invest In the morning, I'm a mess but waking up next to (you) Makes it worth it, said I'll put in more effort Shit I can't be perfect but I Woke up today, said I'm getting it right Been up some days and I been up some nights (some nights, some days) I caught the plane and I didn't look twice All for the simplest life (simple life) I put the pain in the shit that I write Can't get frustrated, gotta give it some time (some nights, some days) Hop off the train at the end of the line That was a simpler time (simple time) Doo-doo, doo-doo Doo, doo Doo-doo, doo-doo Doo, doo Thank the sky for slowing time Shit got too complicated Pace myself, the paper swells I'm patient, not complacent Calm like the sea when it meets the horizon now No one can, no one can shake me Not even Poseidon now Live long and sing my song, so black and free That's all I really want this life to be Green trees, blossom 'round my seeds With green stashed with the lock and key Wouldn't that be perfect? If the world ran on fulfilled purpose And not persons worked like they're purchases Filling purses of wealthy serpents Kneel down and look up, filling up the place of worship Praying for days that hurt less Like karma come break the curses Maybe that's what my worth is Paint a new picture perfect Woke up today, said I'm getting it right Been up some days and I been up some nights (some nights, some days) I caught the plane and I didn't look twice All for the simplest life (simple life) I put the pain in the shit that I write Can't frustrate gotta give it some time (some nights, some days) Hop off the train at the end of the line That was a simpler time (simple time)
