SIMPLE (feat. Joe L Barnes)
When I was just a kid
I dreamed about the life I'd live
Buy fancy cars and a new crib
And cruise around with all my friends
With all my friends (where they at, though?)
But I've been waking up
And realizing all those things
Look so much different through a screen
And that type of life ain't what it seems
Isn't what it seems
The designer bags are not all bad
But I'll never find my worth in that
I don't need
A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings (bling-bling)
To be happy
'Cause all the best things in life are free
So give me the simple things
People might say
There's a game you gotta play (wait, what?)
Just play along and you'll get paid (this ain't freeze tag)
But I refuse to be a slave
To be a slave (hey)
I'm just gonna be me (whoa, yeah)
Love all the weird things on my skin (too pretty, too pretty)
My crooked smile, my lazy grin
I'm throwing caution to the wind
To the wind
'Cause what's popular don't always last
I'm okay with being the outcast
I don't need
A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings
To be happy
'Cause all the best things in life are free
So give me the simple-
I don't need
A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings (diamond rings)
To be happy
'Cause all the best things in life are free
So give me the simple things
I dreamed about the life I'd live
Buy fancy cars and a new crib
And cruise around with all my friends
With all my friends (where they at, though?)
But I've been waking up
And realizing all those things
Look so much different through a screen
And that type of life ain't what it seems
Isn't what it seems
The designer bags are not all bad
But I'll never find my worth in that
I don't need
A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings (bling-bling)
To be happy
'Cause all the best things in life are free
So give me the simple things
People might say
There's a game you gotta play (wait, what?)
Just play along and you'll get paid (this ain't freeze tag)
But I refuse to be a slave
To be a slave (hey)
I'm just gonna be me (whoa, yeah)
Love all the weird things on my skin (too pretty, too pretty)
My crooked smile, my lazy grin
I'm throwing caution to the wind
To the wind
'Cause what's popular don't always last
I'm okay with being the outcast
I don't need
A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings
To be happy
'Cause all the best things in life are free
So give me the simple-
I don't need
A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings (diamond rings)
To be happy
'Cause all the best things in life are free
So give me the simple things
