Simple Man Lyrics

Ayo I’m goin' places, Dior home lacin' on occasions
And Lord gave me amazing thinking in short paces
Lay solo, forever flashy though I hate photos
Date four hoes, make her smile and make her moan though
Lady charmer put armor by your baby mama
I hate to say it a later moment I didn’t warn ya
High roller, big spender
And my intentions to keep her on the sack, you just saks fifth her
I’m that different, this cat can react mad pimpish
I gathered a couple hundred thousand, I can’t remember
They keep talkin' and we keep winning
Why niggas never say capisce until police chalk em
Because of my bitch that's talkin', givin' her head, the streets will follow
I come from a place where niggas my age ain't placed to see tomorrow
To each his own but each of them is known to steal or rob you
So chances over populated but know the seats in college
And those are the least of problems, I speak to God he says I’m alright
My visions funny, though 20-20’s my hindsight
Bad bitches with me, real niggas with me
Whole ghetto with me mixin' kettle with the simply
Like the sweet anguish, find your peace baby
I know the millions you get come with a billion haters, yea

Forgive, I’m a rider
Sure I’m just a Simple Man
All I want is money, fuck the fame
I’m a simple man, lawd!

You know that I’m a rider
Tell em just a simple man
All I want is money,fuck the fame
I’m a simple man, lawd!

I’m pickin' apart, my wicked opponents, get in my zone
Niggas can't join us, so, these niggas done cloned us
Look at me close, see the results you see a nigga a loner
Cause all of the bitches thats givin me grief also be given me bonus
Blow up in rap, young and you black
Niggas Be blowin your phone up
Whenever you don’t, least you a homie, ho
Adult from show cuz
If you get that, then roll up
If you get that, that’s no love
Every move you make they go left
Every chick you like done got kids
And forget that chick had brought friends
Every jay you hit you need vent
Every friend you got, got M.O's
I’m in a gang, even with a deep bitch
I’mma ball like small for a cold huh
Without the ate, where’d all the hate go?
Pockets thicker all my niggas, ain't the same though
I just came up, fuck is you sayin' though
Gave the business my heart, it just gave me the finger, nigga, yeah

Forgive, I’m a rider
Sure I’m just a simple man
All I want is money, fuck the fame
I’m a simple man, lawd!

You know that I’m a rider
Tell em just a simple man
All I want is money, fuck the fame
I’m a simple man, lawd!

Forgive, I’m a rider
Sure I’m just a simple man
All I want is money, fuck the fame
I’m a simple man, lawd!

You know that I’m a rider
Tell em just a simple man
All I want is money, fuck the fame
I’m a simple man, lawd!

Simple Man

This self-reflecting track contains some witty borrowing from the late 2Pac's "How Do U Want It." Wale said to Complex Magazine of the late rapper: "Pac is still the most influential person in young, black culture because of the mentality he instilled and he's been gone for like 15 years now. By that I mean, the I.D.G.A.F. (I Don't Give A F--k) Attitude. He didn't really care about s--t. He was more for the people and I'm learning that. I put my music and the people first, that's where I'm at with it."

The song finds Wale stepping into the production ring. He is credited for supplying the head-nodding beat under the name "Ralph Folarin."

The video was shot in Toronto during the 2013 OVO Fest with Drake and J Cole, who make cameo appearances in the clip.
