The Art of Getting By
[Verse 1]
I got these piles and piles of homework
Trynna write this essay I got no words
So I hit up my homedawg for the google doc
And I took that thing and put my name on the top
Now I can never fail right
Cuz I only hang with dudes who get straight A's
Cheating on tests with a straight face then go home and make music on the same day
I live a beautiful life I live a beautiful life
I do what I do I just do what I like ignoring advice
By my own standards I'm doing it right I'm doing it right
I could do better but why should I try dang
Honestly I don't know why

[Chorus]
I'm just out here living life
I'm just out here living life
I'm just out here getting by
I'm just out here getting by
I'm just out here getting by yeah
Yeah me myself and I
Me myself and I

[Verse 2]
Is it bad that I never take notes in class
I feel like everything they're saying I've been over that
My plan after high school is to blow with rap
I'm in the studio for days and I don't relax
I barely passed last semester
But my soundcloud got more plays than ever
It's kinda stupid right
But I already put my chips in and I need the cheddar
I got a show in Dallas on a school night
Skipping homework to make it all happen
I don't get paid when I go to school
But everyday I'm getting paid everyday for making beats and rapping
I'm in the lab trynna craft a classic
They used to poke jokes and now there isn't one person laughing
But I doubt myself like all the time because there isn any guarantee
That anything will happen

[Outro]
Yoo Adrian it's Nick
Dawg i just got done listening to the mixtape
It's like really dope man but like look
I get that like you got the whole singer writers thing goin
But man you gotta pay more attention in school dawg
What is this like you're failing like three classes
Like what is this physics you got like a 50 in
Calculus you got like what like a 60
And what is it uhh history got like a dude
Like how like how do you get a 40 in a class nevermind nevermind
The only class you're not failing is english and that's just because we're doing the poetry segment or whatever
So dawg like you gotta pay more attention or
