Simple Lyrics

[Hook]
Simple as it feels right now
With you right now
Right here right now
It took all this time
All this time
All this time

[Verse 1]
They say I came a long way
And they don't mean I took the subway

Got sandals, but no candles
And shots fired for my birthday

In the kitchen, mom's missing
When she needs to cook for her children
In addition
I see killers on the corners taking lives like they on commission
But I keep on, on a mission
Survival is my addiction
And you people just love how I make it seem so simple

[Hook]

I say hi; introduction
She say hey; seduction
The talking the discussion
Might as well be in Russian
Cause I'm not paying no attention

She take me to a dimension
Where the mind is on suspension
But the body's on eruption
I used to be cold then she hold me close
And me fold like sheets so I love how she make it seem so simple

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
