Well, mama told me (told) when I was young (I was young)
"Come sit beside me, my only son (my only son)
And listen closely (closely) to what I say (what I say)
And if you do this, it'll help you, some sunny day" (oh, yeah)
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast" (don't live too fast)
"Troubles will come and they will pass" (they will pass)
"You'll find a woman, yes you will, and you'll find love
Don't forget, son, there is a someone up above
And be a simple (simple) kind of man (kind of man)
Oh, be a something you love and understand" (love and understand)
"Yeah, baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
And I'm still growin', still learnin' (c'mon)
And I'm still hopin', still workin' (c'mon)
And I'm still broken but feel perfect
Pass me the smoke, I already feel it while it's still burnin'
I, I try to be a simple man, but life's complicated
I was just a kid, wasn't ready for the world
But I had no choice, I was obligated
I was tryna find love, I was tryna find God
I was tryna find me
I was tryna find a way to pass my own limits
Held down to this day, still ain't sure what I could be
And I don't think I'll ever know
They did you wrong, let 'em go (they did you wrong, let 'em go)
I should've listened to mom when she was tellin' me that life flies by
Now I'm grown, tryna learn to take it slow
Boy, don't you worry (nah, nah), you'll find yourself (you'll find yourself)
Follow your heart and nothin' else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be a something you love and understand (love and understand)
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
