Gary Clark Jr. - The Life lyrics

[Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just getting by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just getting high [Verse 1] Well, I wake up Around ten in the morning Feeling crazy, feeling [on it] From the night before cause I was up Till four in the morning plus some So I take long trip And then I take out my song scripts When I sit down to write I always look to God to help me see the light But I know, that I ain't even livin' right And I know, that I can't live by the night But it's so hard for me just to put it down So hard for me to pa** up the crown When it's been pa**ed down I'm sitting on the throne Sometimes I feel in this world I've just been thrown Not been showing it, and I don't know When to slow it down [Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just getting by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just getting high But this is the life, life, life, life The life This is the life, life, the life, life, the life This is the life, life, the life, life, the life They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life [Verse 2] Once again, I hit the hot spot with my so-called friends Then I hit the ATM and then realize I ain't got no ends Then I call up my kin, hey, my money going I'm standing at the bar but the drinks quit flowing Strap for gas sitting on the block Drunk as hell tryna 'void the damn cops And this is how it is sometimes when you fall off track Like when your record's stretched and you try to run it back But sometimes the stretch got to deep an impact It makes it so hard for you not to look back Regretting things you did in the past I wake up in the morning tell myself it won't last But I tend to get another gla**, then I Start to act just like an a**, then I [Chorus]
