Simple Love Story Feat. Keran Sabir

[00:19.33] Let me tell you about this guy named Jim
[00:22.09] A gem when it came to running ball in the gym
[00:24.79] A four year scholarship to U.M.
[00:26.59] A Terp doing work, nobody could see him
[00:29.36] Sophomore year, things got complex for Jim
[00:32.06] Conference tournament- he broke his wrist on the rim
[00:34.73] Then it came out- an agent had bought him a B.M.
[00:36.54] Now Jim's N.B.A. prospects look slim
[00:39.24] He's back in the hood running with his man Tim
[00:41.92] They're drinking and they're smoking blunts down to the stem
[00:44.67] If Jim's not careful, he will be a victim
[00:47.38] Another young black male caught in the system
[00:49.10] But then, one day, while working out at the gym
[00:51.94] He couldn't believe what was standing in front of him
[00:54.60] Chocolate honey brown, pretty smile, plus trim
[00:56.77] "Excuse me, what's your name?" "Hi, my name is Kim"
[01:00.36] It's just a simple love story y'all
[01:03.07] So would you listen up for me, y'all?
[01:05.77] And while today is today
[01:06.63] Don't let the loneliness take you away
[01:07.90] Don't let it take you away
[01:10.63] It's just a simple love story, y'all
[01:13.30] So would you listen up for me, y'all?
[01:15.12] And while today is today
[01:16.43] Just let the melody take you away
[01:19.14] As we do it like...
[01:40.04] Immediate connection between Jim and Kim
[01:42.71] Different, yet the same, kind of like a synonym
[01:44.56] They started hanging out P.M. to A.M.
[01:47.28] The cup of their love was filled up to the brim
[01:49.96] In fact, things were going so well between them
[01:52.69] In less than a year, Kim had moved in with Jim
[01:54.67] But not long after that, their light grew dim
[01:57.35] Because Jim and Kim had a big problem
[01:59.78] See, Kim felt like Jim was only about Jim
[02:02.54] And Jim felt like Kim wanted to change him
[02:04.92] Even small things became arguments for them
[02:07.62] Like Jim liked whole milk, Kim liked skim
[02:09.89] The future for Jim and Kim was looking grim
[02:12.57] Their love song was turning into a requiem
[02:15.34] But then, one day everything changed for Kim
[02:17.16] She heard the gospel and got introduced to Him
[02:20.95] It's just a simple love story y'all
[02:23.74] So would you listen up for me, y'all?
[02:26.40] And while today is today
[02:27.66] Don't let the decadence take you away
[02:28.92] Don't let it take you away
[02:30.78] It's just a simple love story, y'all
[02:33.43] So would you listen up for me, y'all?
[02:36.19] And while today is today
[02:37.01] Just let the harmony take you away
[02:38.84] As we do it like...
[02:59.62] Kim had an epiphany when she met Him (Jesus)
[03:02.31] The One who literally went out on a limb
[03:05.06] to bring sinful men back to Him
[03:06.86] New life she received when she believed He did this for Kim
[03:10.55] New found joy, she tried to share it with Jim
[03:12.31] He wasn't feeling it- He thought it was just a whim
[03:15.07] He couldn't front though, something was different about Kim
[03:17.72] Because every morning, she was up at 5 A.M.
[03:19.99] Faithfully on her face praising Him
[03:22.73] Thanking Him for His grace, even praying for Jim
[03:25.42] Answer to prayer- Jim gave His life to Him
[03:28.17] Advance three months later, Jim's wife was Kim
[03:29.99] A love triangle: on the bottom right is Jim
[03:32.60] On the bottom left is Kim, at the pinnacle is Him
[03:35.31] So the closer Jim gets to Him and Kim gets to Him
[03:37.52] The closer Jim gets to Kim and that's the end
[03:40.22] Peace...
[03:41.10] It's just a simple love story y'all
[03:43.89] So would you listen up for me, y'all?
[03:46.56] And while today is today
[03:47.46] Don't let the bitterness take you away
[03:48.84] Don't let it take you away
[03:51.61] It's just a simple love story, y'all
[03:54.37] So would you listen up for me, y'all?
[03:56.11] And while today is today
[03:57.92] Just let the symphony take you away
[03:59.74] As we do it like...
