| 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 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 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 I'm paying it no mind, it'll all be fine
|
| 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
|
| Now 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 fucking 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
|
| 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
|
| 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) |
