A Simpler Time

Woke up today, said, "I'm getting it right" (Yeah)
Been up some days and I been up some nights (Some nights, some days)
I got the plan and I didn't look twice
All for the simplest life (Simple life)

Doot-doot, doot-doot
Doot, doot
Doot-doot, doot-doot
Doot, doot

She say the little things matter, they show her she needed
If you can provide 'em, then she won't be leaving
The man of 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 poor
White picket fence and a wreath on the door
We from the basement, concretes 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 (Yeah)
Said, I put in more effort (Yeah)

Woke up today, said, "I'm getting it right" (Yeah)
Been up some days and I been up some nights (Some nights, some days)

All for the simplest life (Simple life)
I put the pain in this shit, did it right
Thank you for straight, gotta give it some time (Some nights, some days)
Hop off the train at the end of the light
That was a simpler time (Simple time)

Doot-doot, doot-doot
Doot, doot
Doot-doot, doot-doot
Doot, doot

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, no
No one can, no one can shake me, not even Poseidon, no
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 (Yeah)
Wouldn't that be perfect?
If the world ran on fulfilled purpose
And all persons worked like they purchases
Filling purses of wealthy serpents
Kneel down and look up, filling up the place of worship
Praying for days that hurt less
Karma come break the curses
Maybe that's what my worth is
Paint a new picture perfect
