Nas - Simple Things Lyrics

[Intro]
And I know where I'm going to

[Verse 1]
I'm looking in longevity's eyes
I play with infinity's mind, forever's my guy
My pedigree's above you ass, you'll never see I
I love my past, but see, where I'm going I get to fly
Never sold a record for the beat, it's my verses they purchase
Without production, I'm worthless, but I'm more than the surface
Want me to sound like every song on the Top 40
I'm not for you, you not for me, you bore me
I drop lines prestigious schools read to their students
Look at my album plaques, somebody agrees with the music
Was lovin' women, you'll never see, all you knows my kids' mothers
Some celebrities, damn, look at the jealousy
Lucky me, I meet some beauties
Make you wanna shoot me
Hate to brag, my worst batch kills off your best cutie
Facts is deep, we break up, they hook up with athletes, get married
'Cause we wasn't that match, my G
Don't attach me to the games, I'm lucky, I'm blessed
One of my exes could be your next
Dog, trust me, don't test

[Chorus]
It's the simple things in life, simple things in life
It's the simple things in life, simple things in life
It's the simple things in life, simple things in life
Simple things in life, simple things in life

[Verse 2]
Rolling dice, throw no aces
With my gangsters, we discussing buying acres
Other safe bets
Nothing regular or basic
Ridin' back to back
Me and Jungle in some spaceships
Where the squad at?
You can see us on the ave
Chop it up as always
Stand up, Queensbridge, now the world know us
Everybody saying my humility's infectious
I just want my kids to have the same peace I'm blessed with
