Less Is More

You know you hear a lot of people complaining about
What they don't have
While you actually got people out here that's been laid off
Havin' some real hard times, they losin' they houses
They trying to figure out where they gon' sleep
Where they gon' get they next meal
I mean, you name it, it's goin' on

And when you get to look at that people that really have to
Versus the ones that's really strugglin'
And tryin' to hold onto what they have
And I'm just reflecting on growin' up
It seemed like the less that we had, we was at our best
This is real what I'm talkin' about, and this is a wake-up call
We shared more when we had less
Mm
Mm

You know, when I look at how I grew up
For a long time, I didn't even know how poor we were because
We never went without
It seemed like we had so much, when we had so little
Mm
Mm

We shared more when we had less
Mm
In the hood
Mm
Mm

And I'm just reflecting on growin' up
It seemed like the less that we had, we was at our best
This is real what I'm talkin' about, and this is a wake-up call
We shared more when we had less

Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less

It's a blessing what you have right now

In the hood

Mm

Mm, mm
We shared more when we had less
Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less
Less, less, less, less
