Saba, Mereba - a Simpler Time lyrics

Woke up today, said, "I'm gettin' it right"
(yeah)
Been up some days and I been up some nights
(Some nights, some days)
I caught the plane and I didn't look twice
(So) 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 leavin'
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, concrete's on the floor
Concrete on the deck
With a rim, I'm callin' 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 mornin', I'm a mess
But wakin' up next to (You)
Makes it worth it (yeah)
Said, I put in more effort (yeah)
Shit, I can't be perfect, but I

Woke up today, said, "I'm gettin' it right"
(yeah)
Been up some days and I been up some nights
(Some nights, some days)
I caught the plane and I didn't look twice
(So) 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 (So)
That was a simpler time (Simple time)

Doot doot, doot doot doot, doot
Doot doot, doot doot doot, doot

Thank the sky for slowin' 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 not persons worked like they purchases
Fillin' purses of wealthy serpents
Kneel down and look up
Fillin' up the place of worship
Prayin' for days that hurt less
Karma come break the curses
Maybe that's what my worth is
Paint a new picture perfect

Woke up today, said, "I'm gettin' it right"
(yeah)
Been up some days and I been up some nights
(Some nights, some days)
I caught the plane and I didn't look twice
(So) 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 (So)
That was a simpler time (Simple time)
