SIMPLE (feat. Joe L Barnes)

When I was just a kid
 I dreamed about the life I'd live
 Buy fancy cars and a new crib
 And cruise around with all my friends
 With all my friends (where they at, though?)
 But I've been waking up
 And realizing all those things
 Look so much different through a screen
 And that type of life ain't what it seems
 Isn't what it seems
 The designer bags are not all bad
 But I'll never find my worth in that
 I don't need
 A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings (bling-bling)
 To be happy
 'Cause all the best things in life are free
 So give me the simple things

 People might say
 There's a game you gotta play (wait, what?)
 Just play along and you'll get paid (this ain't freeze tag)
 But I refuse to be a slave
 To be a slave (hey)
 I'm just gonna be me (whoa, yeah)
 Love all the weird things on my skin (too pretty, too pretty)
 My crooked smile, my lazy grin
 I'm throwing caution to the wind
 To the wind
 'Cause what's popular don't always last
 I'm okay with being the outcast
 I don't need
 A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings
 To be happy
 'Cause all the best things in life are free
 So give me the simple-
 I don't need
 A bunch of money, clothes, and diamond rings (diamond rings)
 To be happy
 'Cause all the best things in life are free
 So give me the simple things
