Cinco - Getting By lyrics

[Intro: Unknown Sampled Quotes] What do you want in life? I'm terribly afraid... Now, everything is going to be alright, darling Look, I'll let you in on a little secret Every one of them has had to make some effort to get here The trouble is, if you're not self-reliant You'll never do any more than just get by [Verse 1: Cinco] I'm not just trying to get by Like what the f**? Down to business like neckties And bu*ton-ups Putting in the time for my grind Always spitting rhymes So I'm not about to wait in line to take what I know is mine So what's the crime? Sorry, but I'm not sorry See, my goal is the gold, but I am not Ari I want that 'Rarri Blacked out with no top Voices in the back of my head, they're screaming "Don't stop" So I won't stop For my family, win a couple Grammys No bottles that I won't pop So here's a toast to people who grind the most If you're feeling like I am, you know that you are so close So close I you can taste it Aim for all your dreams and never be complacent Just tell the world face it You better get used to My name in the game So quit, I refuse to YEAH [Chorus: Cinco] Ain't nodoby gonna hold me down Gonna run my town I don't wanna be just getting by Just getting by Just getting by I've played this game I put in my time There ain't no way that I wanna be just getting by Just getting by Just getting by [Verse 2: Slang] I'm sick of just getting by So pity, I'm in denial My direction is the sky But I'm flowing down the Nile Catching gravity, a tragedy Depression was grabbing me I thank God that Abe was asking me Matter of fact, he challenged me To put aside, and strive to feel alive At this moment in time And I felt my spine sticking out of line So I'm finally thinking it's time to quit wishin' And see, I ain't bullsh**tin' It's time to focus in, see? I put time in it No lost minutes How could I be Popeye but yet ain't got no spinach? So how do I hit these targets if there's no darts in em See, I dodge critics Thinking if I even spent my only wish To be to get my bags packed By k**ing tracks and spitting this cardiac Giving beats these heart attacks So where's the doctor at? If the odds are stacked I'll be the house like the ace of a jack You follow that? [Chorus: Cinco] [Bridge: Unknown Sampled Quotes] What do you want in life? I'm terribly afraid... Now, everything is going to be alright, darling Look, I'll let you in on a little secret [Verse 2: Cinco] Seconds tick up in my Nixon It's been a mission to make the world listen Pistons pumping in my heart and soul I'm so cold, want the gold And I'm fiending for a fixin' And if I had pennies for my thoughts I think I'm on pace to be a billionaire Cuz with everything that's on my mind I'm downright surprised there's space in there [Chorus: Cinco]
