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 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) Watch Few Good Things, full album: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy8w3wlWi4jBVnrTyIG5-YSYRtOSGEtpz Follow Instagram // http://instagram.com/sabapivot Twitter // http://twitter.com/sabapivot Facebook // http://facebook.com/sabapivot Twitch // https://www.twitch.tv/sabapivot Apple Music // https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/saba/1140260329 SoundCloud // http://soundcloud.com/sabapivot Spotify // https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Hjbimq43OgxaBRpFXic4x?si=c0TxYxaRQ1iLEzRBw0cMGA Tidal // https://listen.tidal.com/artist/8031942 Credit Written by Tahj Chandler, Marian Mereba Produced by Monte Booker and Jacob Rochester Additional production by Daoud Drums - Jacob Rochester Drum Programming - Monte Booker Keyboards/Synthesizers - Monte Booker Recording Engineer - Saba, Rudyard Lee Cullers (64 Sound) Pivot Gang, LLC #SABA #FEWGOODTHINGS
