Simply Songtext
von De La Soul

Fear through time, is left behind
When you′re simply, havin'
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Take some time, and ease your mind
When you′re simply, havin'
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Hey, yo last day of spring first day of the heat (heat)
I'm callin′ out my troops so y′all best retreat (treat)
Tryin' to win′ the eyes off of Little Bo Peep
While I'm pushin′ Big Bird up Sesame Street (street)

After one nut, I'm goin′ straight to sleep (sleep)
If it ain't a love affair, it's just a late night creep (creep)
Use Colgate when I′m brushin′ my teeth (teeth)
Favorite MC's Gregg Nice and Smooth B (B)


Keep it old school like "Where′s the beef?"
And if you ain't from an era then you up -′s creek (creek)
First B-side is Freedom of Speak
If you don't speak, well I ain′t losin' no sleep

See me on the cover of your Double X-L (L)
Takin' a holiday at the hotel (tel)
Fans keep sending me back the fan mail
Heavyweights keep it on the grand scale, when we doin′ it

Fear through time, is left behind
When you′re simply, havin'
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Take some time, and ease your mind
When you′re simply, havin'
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Hey, yo, the sky swallowed the sun
Spitted out the moon and stars
Puttin′ out shiners that gave the cause
ArmorAll-ed down, the downtown activity


I'm ′bout to have fun without the problems that live with me
Not tryin' to be posh, but let's stay out the mosh pit
Tonight keep my nose out of trouble
Everybody in′ my bubble′s been briefed, no beef, just party

Of course, you're gonna have some clown niggas try to take us off course
Always lower levels tryin′ to bring out the devil in' us
Not condoned but it′s known
That a party ain't a party if the thugs don′t try to shut it down!

Tight security and it's still soft
Can't offset the thirty or plus caught in′ the rush
Keep the door sealed ′cause the floor's filled with action
And we don′t need any distractions tonight y'all

Introduce me to your mademoiselle
I′m Tarzan and she's my gazelle
I live at Biggs and say it′s Notorious
Travel through minds, emotions, and euphorias, glorious

As I get great
Still kinda smooth like way back in' my old school tapes
I bring it pronto
Rep the BX like Billy Blanco

Treat your troubles like colds, sweat it out, get it out
So we can get in' the right mode, let it out
No need to pull on the throttle
If I could bottle this love I wouldn′t hesitate, get it straight
Wonder why I can medicate the soul while takin′ its toll

Just for simply (simply), havin' (havin′)
The right record that could bring in' the pull
And this must be the right run y′all
'Cause the dance floor′s full 'cause

Fear through time, is left behind
When you're simply (simply), havin′ (havin′)
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Take some time, and ease your mind
When you're simply (simply), havin′ (havin')
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Fear through time, is left behind
When you′re simply (simply), havin' (havin′)
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Take some time, and ease your mind
When you're simply (simply), havin' (havin′)
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Fear through time, is left behind
When you′re simply (simply), havin' (havin′)
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home

Take some time, and ease your mind
When you're simply (simply), havin′ (havin')
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home
