Get High, Get By

Where all these bills come from?

I need my money, ****

Been going down, hit the ground

I ain't stop running, ****

I need a break, tryna wait

They say it's coming, ****, hold on

Been too long

Still feeling I'm not where I'm supposed to be

Up in arms, running wild

And all they say is hopefully

Soon everything will turn around

Another day another dollar to make

They never listen to a thing that we say anyway

Spent all my time and money making mistakes

Now I'm behind on peace of mind, I just might run away

Life ain't always left up to what we decide

Some days it takes a little more to survive

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by

How three four times a week I breathe

And reach up into the stars elemental

I be going hard with a pencil

If money was a car it's a rental

How before times when we would breathe on beats

And deliver heart to they mental

Stuck up in the box like a bento

Don't really give a fuck what you into

You got to do that work, boy

Fuck the world, lift up that skirt, boy

Before you do make sure she look at you

And say please proceed, you better make it hurt, boy

Otherwise you gone sever ties with your dreams

Struggle rounds with yo demons

Slave at work and then wait for the weekend

That's why we drink and get high

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by

Need a lil' more than a lil' bit

Work so hard just to work harder

I ain't got sleep in like 3, 4 days

Tryna make life easy for my daughter

So I mediate

They medicate

Do what we gotta to elevate

Anxiety high I can't catch a break, stop

Still feeling I'm not where I'm supposed to be

Up in arms, running wild

And all they say is hopefully

Soon everything will turn around

Another day another dollar to make

They never listen to a thing that we say anyway

Spent all my time and money making mistakes

Now I'm behind on peace of mind, I just might run away

Life ain't always left up to what we decide

Some days it takes a little more to survive

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by

So we just drink and get high

That's how we get by
