Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Simple as that for your simple ass
Ask about that, pretty simple, man
We dreaming on good for a sicker plan
Sicker than any other **** could be thinking and
[Verse 2]
I can't be a loser 'cause they figure that
I can't be a lame, I'm cooler than that
I feel I love the fame then I hate it back
Thinking now, what I should be Twittering?
[Verse 3]
Why big bro take all the hot bitches?
Dear God, me too, I like the hot bitches
I'll be the underdog all along till I'm gone
I will live through this song, I'll be strong to the haters
[Chorus]
It's simple as that, it's simple as that
It's simple as that for your simple ass
It's simple as that, it's simple as that
It's simple as that for your simple ass
[Verse 4]
It's simple as that, it's simple as that
It's simple as that for your simple ass
It's simple as that, it's simple as
One, two, three
[Verse 5]
Uh, simple as that for your simple ass
Simple head, wish you would've called it how it should've been
They try and tell me they don't get it, they don't underdig
Now I'll be damned, I came this far to let a fool live
[Verse 6]
I gotta terminate the hate, spread the positive
Without it being wack and cheesy to the little kids
So I curse like a sailor and I smoke weed
I am exactly who an older rapper's kids be
[Verse 7]
And who they love, hands to the universe
Probably think they drug addicts if they spit a Cudi verse
Mad lil' momma switch to converse without a purse
Long as the booty lookin' juicy and he stylin' on 'em
[Chorus]
It's simple as that, it's simple as that
It's simple as that for your simple ass
It's simple as that, it's simple as that
It's simple as that for your simple ass
[Chorus]
It's simple as that, it's simple as that
It's simple as that for your simple ass
It's simple as that, it's simple as
One, two, three
[Outro]
As our hero seems to be dreaming in peace
A dark chapter unfolds, throwing Scott
Into the most eerie and unstable part of his imagination
So intense, he cannot tell his dreams from reality
This is the rise of the night terrors
