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 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 (yeah) 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're 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 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 got the plan and I didn't look twice All for the simplest life (Simple life) I put the pain in this shit that I write Thank you for strength, 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) Doot-doot, doot-doot Doot, doot Doot-doot, doot-doot Doot, doot (yeah) Thank the sky for slowin' time, shit got too complicated, yeah 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 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 got the plan and I didn't look twice All for the simplest life (simple life) I put the pain in this shit that I write Thank you for strength, 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)
