Lyrics
I don't need much not a house full of gold
I don't require many material possessions, not a wealthy home filled with riches.
It doesn't take much to cleanse the soul
Simple things have the power to purify one's inner self.
I don't need a lot just a plate full of food
I don't need much, just a basic meal.
Cooked by someone I don't know
Prepared by someone unfamiliar to me.
Taking my time to walk down the road
Taking my time to stroll along the pathway.
Waving hello to people I've never known
Greeting strangers I encounter.
Where do I fit and where should I go?
Questioning my place and direction in life.
Guess I'll find out when I get where I roll
Anticipating understanding upon reaching my destination.
cll that I want is just a cup of coffee
All I desire is a cup of coffee before departing.
Before I hit the road
Prior to embarking on my journey.
I'm not asking for too much cause baby I don't do much
I don't demand much because I don't engage in much.
I'm the same as I was before
I remain unchanged from my past self.
It doesn't take a lot for me to hit that spot
It doesn't require much to satisfy me, but extreme actions are needed for significant change.
But a city has to burn to arrest a cop
Drastic measures are necessary to confront authority.
Smoking out the window while the firetrucks stop
Smoking while observing a commotion caused by emergency responders.
Two houses down from mine
Describing a scenario happening close by.
Windows open, hanging out, seeing what the fuss is about
Curiosity about a situation while wondering if everything is okay.
Is everything fine?
Questioning the status of affairs.
It's a five alarm somebody didn't blow the candles out
A significant emergency is imminent due to oversight.
Quite in time
Fortunately, the problem is resolved in time.
cll that I want is just a cup of coffee
Desire for a cup of coffee before departure, echoing a previous line.
Before I hit the road
Just before setting off on a journey.
I'm not asking for too much cause baby I don't do much
Reiterating the modesty of desires due to a simple lifestyle.
I'm the same as I was before
Staying true to oneself despite circumstances.
It doesn't take much
Reaffirming the minimalistic needs.
It doesn't take a lot
Emphasizing the simplicity once more.
But what does it matter
Raising the question of significance in the face of inevitable changes.
Family homes become parking lots
Family homes turning into parking lots, symbolizing transformation and loss.
We all need a little
We all have some needs.
cnd we all need a lot
We require various things in different quantities.
But ask yourself
Prompting introspection about responses in critical situations.
What'll you do when your neighbor's shot?
Contemplating actions when faced with a nearby crisis.
We all need a lot
Reiteration of the diverse needs we possess.
csk yourself
Encouraging self-reflection about preparedness for unforeseen events.
It doesn't take much
Highlighting the simplicity once more.
Become parking lots
Reinforcing the notion of transformation and loss, mirroring an earlier line.
We all need a lot
Emphasizing that everyone possesses significant needs.
