Lyrics
Woke up today said I’m getting it right
Been up some days and I been up some nights (Some nights, some days)
I caught the plane and I didn’t look twice
All for the simplest life (Simple life)
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo
She say the little things matter they show her she needed
If you can provide em then she won’t be leaving
The man in 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 concrete on the floor
Concrete on the deck with a rim I’m calling 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 morning I’mma mess but waking up next to (You)
Makes it worth it, said I’ll put in more effort
Shit I can’t be perfect but I
Woke up today said I’m getting it right
Been up some days and I been up some nights (Some nights, some days)
I caught the plane and I didn’t look twice
All for the simplest life (Simple life)
I put the pain in the shit that I write
Can’t frustrated 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)
[Mereba]
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo
Thank the sky for slowing time
Shit got too complicated
Pace myself, the paper swells
I’m patient, not complacent
Calm like the sea when it meets the horizon now
No one can, no one can shake me
Not even Poseidon now
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 & key
Wouldn’t that be perfect?
If the world ran on fulfilled purpose
And not persons worked like they’re purchases
Filling purses of wealthy serpents
Kneel down and look up, filling up the place of worship
Praying for days that hurt less
Like karma come break the curses
Maybe that’s what my worth is,
Paint a new picture perfect
[Saba]
Woke up today said I’m getting it right

I put the pain in the shit that I write
Can’t frustrated 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)

🔥 monteé
Cant wait saba ! See you in LA man! My favorite artist out right now ! Always dropping fire. Love your style man.
See ya in the Chi ✌🏼
Monte’s producing is just next lvl and complements Saba’s style too well💪💯
the fact that i could immediately tell monte produced this.. that laser, hihat pattern and late 808 is really iconic
Monte gotta have the most unique and recognizable sound out rn
Mereba's verse literally made me cry it sounded like mama
Mama by K.dot?
@@natespidey7952 a sweet mother's touch,, Simpler Time
I feel you bro. Felt the same way.
@@natespidey7952 nah thats Momma

The honey 🍯 that mereba added
Best album of 2022 so far
I have to agree! This album just hits so differently! I just found out about Saba too! Shout out to Black Thought for spreading news of the album!
Until Ramona park broke my heart
This way better than Vince's shit
Agreed this album is so memorable
@@Lankzino I love Vince more than saba but this album is so much better tho Vince album fya too
"the money never made me , am more than I invest"💯🔥🙌🙌
The SWING ON THIS🙏🏽😭💥
i hate that folks dogging the drums being off beat. they are, but in an intentional way. these drums have this kinda bouncy swang to it that u don’t hear very often in modern music, they off beat if we talkin traditional tempo but that don’t matter cause the rhythm is there, u just gotta feel it more than u hear it if that make sense lol. imo this one of the best beats i’ve heard from monte and i’ve heard a lot.
Facts
I’ve never heard a better explanation
While navigating the nerve-racking, mind-boggling, complicated and chaotic maze of adult life, one shouldn't forget to sometimes take a slow step back, reflect and reevaluate and have more appreciation of the smaller things/simpler times whether chilling with family or friends, enjoying your hobbies or just meditating. Love life but most importantly, love yourself and others around you.❤❤
Without looking at the producer credits. Yall already know WHO TF THIS IS!!!
EL GOAT.
As soon as U heard the swing I was like „wait this Monte?“ Then I heard the laser beams and was like „yeah this is Monte not putting his shit on Grid again“😭🔥🔥

Who is monte and what other notable production has he done I need to check?
Check out Smino’s blkswn
@@jaden_ja
This song is more adjacent to songs on NØIR than Blkswn
Check out noir
Anyone else craving a smino mereba collab
Would be really dope
Got an andre3000 flow on this one
Beat sounds like I left coins in my pocket and put them in the washing machine ngl.
i wonder what the offset is on the kick damn is beautiful
It’s kinda off putting
@@eshwar6969 i love it so much as it makes it that much soother
Smino could have been here
:)
Still love this song but damn the drums are like REALLY off beat😅
have you heard of J Dilla?
Its done on purpose fam
Bruh this beat is hard but those plates in the background is really annoying . I really wish they weren’t there smh.
Which plates do you mean? You mean the hihat?
@@Godwin5575 shit they aweful hi hats
@@hxnnid I really liked them they corresponded very nicely with the kick and snare
@@hxnnid best part of the song
Whoever made this beat needs to be fired this is horrible. There’s no rhythm it seems so off-beat.
Its done intentionally fam thats what monte is famous is for
Tripping
@@subzu2733nah im a fulltime producer and engineer... the 808s are horrendously out of quantization. the swing is way too late and it doesn't feel
natural.
yall in the comments need to get back in the lab ☕️ 🐸
