a Simpler Time

[Chorus: Saba]

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)

[Post-Chorus: Saba]

Doot-doot, doot-doot

Doot, doot

Doot-doot, doot-doot

Doot, doot

[Verse 1: Saba]

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

[Chorus: Saba]

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)

[Post-Chorus: Mereba]

Doot-doot, doot-doot

Doot, doot

Doot-doot, doot-doot

Doot, doot

[Verse 2: Mereba]

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

[Chorus: Saba]

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)
