I Get By

Government man keep calling my house

Talking bout I owe, harassing my spouse

Gotta park my truck on another block

Cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hockGotta couple good friends with helping hands

I need a brand new job with a health care plan

They closed the plant, they stole my job

Told me crime dont pay unless you ask the mobSo I smoke a little grass, drink a little wine

Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time

And every single day I fall a little more behind

But Im paying it no mind, itll all be fine[Chorus:]

I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I aint gonna lie

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I aint gonna lie (got it good)Party people in the place to be

Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by

Its on and on till the brake of dawn

Got to keep the rent paid and the power onYes yes yall and it never stops

I dont trust the government, I dont trust no cops

We dip and we dive and we socialize

We struggle and we strive just to stay aliveI get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)When I finally get home I cant relax

Cause Ive been over worked and Ive been over taxed

My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed

And I ain't looking for no pity, Im just stating the factsI voted for some change and its kinda strange

"No" its all I got in my pocket

I bought a few leds, now Im growing some trees

And its a sweet fucking hustle dont knock itI told yall before I would break the law

To put some food in my baby girls belly

Cause the senator man took a bribe in hand

And went and shipped my job to New Delhi[Chorus:]

I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I aint gonna lie

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I aint gonna lie (got it good)Party people in the place to be

Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by

Its on and on till the brake of dawn

Got to keep the rent paid and the power on

Yes yes yall and it never stops

I dont trust the government

I dont trust no cops

I dip and I dive and I socialize

I struggle and I strive just to stay alive[Chorus:]

I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I aint gonna lie

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I aint gonna lie (got it good)
