“Get By” is the fourth track on my new EP “The Unattainable State of Mind”. I wrote this track around February of 2016. It was related to some personal events that I was going through at the time and now I’ve finally decided to release it as part of my EP!
[Verse 1]
Hello hello
His day’s been pretty mellow
But life’s been getting rough for this young little fellow
He’ll just stay low
Making music to pass days as they go
Singing about how he feels like he’s been run by tornados
He’s okay though
Everyone goes through some sort of drama
He’s left with trauma
His baby brother keeps missing his mama
He didn’t order
A life taken over by something viscous
Leaving him unanswered and thinking who could ever do this?
Know what? Screw this
I’m not staying broken, I will renew this
Breaking down all the walls that always tend to leave me clueless
Reminisce, and think of times to help me get by
Leave my head in the clouds, my thoughts higher than the sky
[Chorus]
I’ll get by
[Verse 2]
Mother mother
Where have you been?
Because it’s been a couple years since I’ve last seen you in the crib
Someone's replaced you
They’ve managed to erase you
And I hope that you’ll be back in time and be there for your son to
Be a graduate of high school
But your sense of mentality is something no one can relate to
It’s not a topic to debate to
And now you’re gone
Let’s hope your vacation won’t be for long
I’ve been missing you so much I took the time to write a song
Though all along
I’ve taken the setting totally wrong
Didn’t realize the work it took to keep myself strong
But I’m
Strolling along
Understanding right from wrong
Yes, I’ll do it for you mom
So sit back and keep your calm
Cause’
I’m here for you
You know I can’t ignore you
And if your thoughts die
Don’t be sorry if I cry
[Chorus]
I’ll get by
