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)
