Intro
Bassline slides in like wisdom through chaos. No flex — just truth dressed in rhythm. They count likes, we count lessons. Every number tells a story — only some add up. Lesson one? Alignment before achievement.
Verse 1
Thirty years in, ran the marathon of “more,” Had the title, the crib, still wanted the core. Rule one: risk the myth, rewrite your lore, Every failure’s tuition — wisdom’s store. Used to echo their dreams, clone their fear, Till silence spoke louder than the cheer. Quit the class, passed the test — self-made degree, Majored in “being,” minor in “free.” They said “You fell off,” I said “I fell *in*,” Into the truth that starts from within.
Pre-chorus
Pressure’s projection, not divine law, Their “no” is reflection of what they saw. They fear your mirror, not your move, Turn that doubt down — find your groove.
Chorus
It’s simpler math — we been chasin’ the wrong thing. Not the clout, not the whip, not the diamond ring. Peace is the profit, purpose is the gold. Stop the outer chase, start aligning your soul. You’re already whole. *(echoes: whole, whole, whole…)*
Verse 2
I taught moguls to breathe, told titans to pause, All the riches in the world don’t rewrite natural laws. They measure in yachts, but they float on lack, They invest in control — I just doubled my *calm back*. Lesson four: the game ain’t what you see, It’s not “get rich,” it’s “get free.” Success ain’t loud — it’s silent impact, Peace is the flex, love’s the contract. The less I chase, the more I catch, Subtract to expand — that’s simpler math.
Pre-chorus 2
Comparison kills creation slow, The scoreboard lies, let the purpose show. The real you’s rich, no proof to file, Your timeline’s divine — just stay a while.
Chorus
It’s simpler math — we been chasin’ the wrong thing. Not the clout, not the whip, not the diamond ring. Peace is the profit, purpose is the gold. Stop the outer chase, start aligning your soul. You’re already whole. *(chant reprise: whole / aligned / divine)* --- [Bridge] *(Half-time, ethereal pads, space to breathe)* Control’s an illusion, chaos just art, Balance the numbers, start with the heart. Manifest don’t mean force, it means faith, You don’t chase the outcome — you embody the state. Every “no” was guidance in disguise, Every fall recalibrates the rise.
Chorus
It’s SIMPLER MATH — we been chasin’ the wrong thing. Not the flex, not the fame, not the diamond bling. PEACE IS THE WEALTH, authenticity the goal. Stop the outer chase, START ALIGNING YOUR SOUL! You’re already whole. *(layered ad-libs: whole / rise / flow / glow)*
Outro
Sip slow. Think less. Feel more. Every equation returns to the core. Quiet mind, quiet grind. Stop chasing. Start aligning. *(Long 808 rumble fades into heartbeat pulse.)*
