Things Were Simpler

Y'all wanna know what it's like to be
What this life could be
In this life you lead
Can't lie it's been enticin' me
Locked in like a young Mike Tyson be
And I been writin' every night for the past five years
Let me tell you where that got me, right here
And I learned how to persevere, no simple task
Swerve off, could've crashed no joke
Two hands on the wheel that's the gospel
Homie that's real, know the truth tastes awful
Way too nasty, can't get past me
Gotta box out when holdin' the post
Can't wait 'til I'm old, turnt to a ghost
Spit it right now
Livin' like "wow"
Y'all wonder "how" while it hit ya like "pow"
I'll put the bounce in the sound 'til the power blows out, and
Homie this is simpler than cavemen
Can't be missin' it unless you really brain-dead
This medicinal spirit-food I'm takin'
Gettin' you in tune with the universal love so embrace it (Ah)
Face it
Life is beautiful, amazin'
Simple truth can you take it?
Like was back to the basics?
Light a J baby, face it
Do you mind if I say this?
Gotta do it for the culture
Cuz clout-chasin' is lame shit
Lay it down for the layman
Stay on time like I can't miss a payment
Got good credit cuz they know who sent it
Who said it, who meant it, you couldn't prevent it
Put a couple new pendants off the shit I'm pennin'
You can't jump in while I swim, I been in
Can't you tell where I'm headed?
Just know, when I get there I'll be winnin'
Things were simpler back then when we were takin' time in the sunshine
Tell me what happened
Things were simpler back then when we were only kids
Askin' for permission and not for forgiveness
So simple back then when we were chasin' dreams goin' full-steam, yeah I got passion
Things were simpler back then when we were takin' time in the sunshine
Tell me what happened
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what happened
