[Intro]
I don't need much...
Yo... Real Elements... A.Skillz... Krafty Kuts... Doctor Luke
[Chorus]
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make me smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me it's things like being an MC
[Verse 1]
All I need in this crazy world is me and a piece of mind
I'm trying to find that happiness exist in things we overlook
Like a song with deep lyrics and a catchy hook
The cinema is cool but I rather read a book
The simple things like a cordless mic to clutch
And some banging instrumentals like an eight-foot bunch
To make the crowd get the hell up like Pharoahe Monch
The little things in this planet that we take for granted
Like living in your own and being independent
Breathing oxygen and living in the present and
Two eardrums that enable you to listen
Being outside not locked in a prison
I'd rather have that than rocks the ----- ------
Or a brand new Porsche with keys in the ignition
You gotta be a simple man to fit that description
[Chorus]
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make me smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me it's things like being an MC
[Verse 2]
There's a habit of rapping of standing for what you believe in
MC's became famous not because they were beefing
Battles were not personal I wouldn't punch your teeth in
No one died over music, Hip Hop was not grieving
I miss those ---- videos and live shows
Where MC's from any coast did collabos
The industry was family, friends, not foes
Instead of shooting guns in the clubs you'd throw -----
It's no longer simple now, anything goes
Just to rock the mic you need expensive clothes
And company logos everybody knows
I chose to keep it simple and break those laws
[Hook]
Compose these tight flows and rhyme for a cause
Compose these tight flows and rhyme for a cause
Compose these tight flow and rhyme for a cause
Compose these tight flow and rhyme for a cause
[Chorus]
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make me smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me it's things like being an MC
[Verse 3]
What you hear is what you get, on CD or cassette
Even live on the stage when I bomb your set
Just a mic and a DJ, why complicate it?
This is how I look at life it's not fabricated
I've dedicated the track to living with simplicity
No lights, no cameras I don't need publicity
The audience enhancing the air is what I'm asking
Anything less should be thrown into the trashcan
This is not scripted, a movie, I'm not acting
You live what you write in life there's nothing greater
If you don't feel this now, you gonna feel it later
As soon as A.Skillz flips on the fader
[Chorus]
I don't need much, just the simple things in life
Like the skills to freestyle and friends to make me smile
Not much, just the simple things in life
Like a beautiful sunny day and a good DJ
Not much, just the little things we see
Things we don't buy, things we get free
Not much, things we do naturally
And for me it's things like being an MC
