[Verse 1] Used to chase the golden frame Wrong names in my phone, chasing tiny fame Counting numbers like they meant my worth Stressed out, wired up, cold heart, hard work
Then I saw my mama’s hands Lines like stories I barely understand She said, “Boy, you got all you need” A roof, some rice, and a heart that’s free
[Chorus] Living simple without greed Just a little love, that’s all I need Hand-me-down dreams, hand in your hand We’re rich in ways they don’t understand Living simple without greed I’m breathing easy, I can finally see Less on my back, more room to breathe Living simple, living simple without greed
[Verse 2] White T-shirt, same old jeans Second-hand shoes still fit my schemes I’d rather have time than a diamond chain Laughing in the rain than a first-class plane
My friend flexed a brand-new car Still felt empty sitting at the bar I paid the bill with a quiet smile Said, “Come walk with me, let’s talk a while”
[Chorus] Living simple without greed Just a little love, that’s all we need Hand-me-down dreams, hand in my hand We’re rich in ways they don’t understand Living simple without greed We’re breathing easy, we can finally see Less on our backs, more room to breathe Living simple, living simple without greed
[Bridge - Rap] Yeah I was scrolling through the shine, through the fakes, through the filters Thought I needed all that glitter, had me moving like a drifter Then I saw my sister dancing in a thrift-store dress No tags, no stress, still looking her best
Now it’s one good book, one close friend One clear mind I don’t have to bend Got a cracked phone screen, but my heart’s brand new Can’t buy this peace, it just grew and grew
I don’t want more, I just want enough Warm cheap coffee in a paper cup If joy’s on sale, then it’s already free If you’re searching for it, come sit with me (come sit with me)
[Chorus] Living simple without greed Just a little love, that’s all we need Hand-me-down dreams, hand in your hand We’re rich in ways they don’t understand Living simple without greed We’re breathing easy, we can finally see Less on our backs, more room to breathe Living simple, living simple without greed
