The Art Of Getting By Lyrics by André DeSaint

Old Dreams//New Themes

2014

[Verse 1]
Uh, Loosen up my tie and end a shift of nine to five
Guess I should pry the sky and thank the guy that I’m alive
I need a guiding light I set my mouth on fire
Theory of Low End pumps bass I get higher
Aiming for mass appeal trying to appeal to masses
Smoke thick as clay got me feeling Cassius
I got the realest passion nobody notices
Figure out what my motive is
I ain’t in it for bonuses
Insane king that’s ready for what the name brings
Looking for a brand new way to say the same thing
Misguided youth amazing little changeling
I’ma shoot the bird while you herbs only graze wings
[Hook: Chelsea Chavis]
Can you feel the unrest? Because I can I can
For years I felt it in my chest and in my hands my hands
If you know not what I speak then you’re lucky you’re free
Ignorance is hardly glee but it’s restful sweet peace
[Verse 2]
Holy matrimony I should set the date
I’m married to an empty promise from a special place
There’s some promises that we should never get to break
Cause we make decisions people never get to make
Hail Mary that’s what the record say
Let that needle speak to you let that record play
It’s one in the same I’m just playing the game
You can spot it on me all over like I got leprosy
Excuse me I’ve been busy just wrecking sessions
Come peep the way that I kick it a nigga could beckon Beckham
I’m watching you bullshitters and I just reckon I question
Why are we dealing more lies and less confessing?
[Hook]
