TshiAfro - Septembars Lyrics

I'm too lethargic, got work to do, I don't see the progress
The words abolished, I told the truth but I wasn't honest
The soul on auction, the devil's bidding, proceed with caution
The hearts not talking, the pen's the tool
Am I an artist?

Depends on who you're asking
They said Drake's a false regardless of the fact we keep him charting
They say Ken's a false and go as far to call him charlatan, nah
They're taking the piss and I'm not porcelain or a harlequin

Building up my barbican
Gotta protect my heart, see
I felt a little insecure about my feed
I thought it wasn't artsy
Then a little insecure about my voice
I thought it wasn't raspy
Then I ran out of gas, but my homie said"Just like a star, see!"

And then I remembered perspectives
Reminded that I have to keep asking questions
To take a peak back & remember the sessions
To keep trading the notes and keep learning new lessons

The baby stopped crying it lost my attention
But that's not my baby, it's just an old blessing
I'm not just some basic, I'm making transgressions
I'm tryna escape this recession

I snapped, like an accessory
But I gotta keep it rolling like beads going down that busy street
Coz the bracelets broke and gone but not the memories
I realize I just have to keep the energy

Now
I'm less lethargic, I'm doing work and I'm making progress
The words harmonic, I tell the truth and I keep it honest
I sold the option, the devil's losing, my Sheppard's calling
I stay authentic, the pen's a tool
I am an artist
(As far as music itself goes, uhm)
(You know, the simplest thing to forget is that what music is about)
(And any kind of art form is about)
Yeah, I am an artist
(Is. is creating the kind of things that you think are beautiful)
(In other words when you sit, as a piano player, and you're creating)
(You have to learn to be certain about you like)
(Not what you think sounds good to someone else)
(See. First thing is you have to learn your own heart and your own mind)
(about. about uh sound)
(So whatever you think is beautiful, that's what's beautiful, see)
(And you have to pursue that)
