Everlast - I Get By lyrics

Government man keep calling my house Talking ‘bout I owe, hara**ing my spouse Gotta park my truck on another block Cause the sub-prime loan got my a** in hock Gotta 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 don’t pay unless you ask the mob So I smoke a little gra**, drink a little wine Watch a little tube, try to k** a little time And every single day I fall a little more behind But I’m paying it no mind, it’ll 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 ain’t gonna lie I barely get by I laugh not to cry I stay a little high I ain’t gonna lie (got it good) Party people in the place to be Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by It’s on and on till the brake of dawn Got to keep the rent paid and the power on Yes yes y’all and it never stops I don’t trust the government, I don’t trust no cops We dip and we dive and we socialize We struggle and we strive just to stay alive I get by (got it good, got it good) I barely get by (got it good, got it good) When I finally get home I can’t relax Cause I’ve been over worked and I’ve been over taxed My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed And I ain't looking for no pity, I’m just stating the facts I voted for some change and it’s kinda strange "No" it’s all I got in my pocket I bought a few led’s, now I’m growing some trees And it’s a sweet f**ing hustle don’t knock it I told y’all before I would break the law To put some food in my baby girl’s 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 ain’t gonna lie I barely get by I laugh not to cry I stay a little high I ain’t gonna lie (got it good) Party people in the place to be Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by It’s on and on till the brake of dawn Got to keep the rent paid and the power on Yes yes y’all and it never stops I don’t trust the government I don’t 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 ain’t gonna lie I barely get by I laugh not to cry I stay a little high I ain’t gonna lie (got it good)
