Good at Gettin’ By

(Verse 1)

Waking up in a Pontiac, but not a nice one

Cause I never get gas till the lights on

Hit the laundry mat, then the dollar tree

Because I got not beef with Chef Boyardee

Been sweepin' my apartment I'm leavin'

Rent is increasing, breakin' my lease

And selling my things so I can do as I please

(Chorus)

I bet I make it look easy (ohhhh ohhhh)

Cause it ain't hard to see, never counting on a penny (ohhh ohhh)

That I've got coming to me, got coming to me

Well some people they got way more that they need

I wonder why, cause I don't even have to try

I'm gettin' good at gettin' by

I'm gettin' good at gettin' by

(ohhhh ohhhh)

(Verse 2)

I've got my mattress from Craigslist

That's all that ever sits on my bathroom floor

And all I have is some chex mix cause I'm too broke for the grocery store

Cross off my list optimistic

Dreams on a napkin, making them happen

After the fact, there's no turning back no more

(Chorus)

I bet I make it look easy (ohhhh ohhhh)

Cause it ain't hard to see, never counting on a penny (ohhh ohhh)

That I've got coming to me, got coming to me

Some people they got way more that they need

I wonder why, cause' I don't even have to try

I'm gettin' good at gettin' by

(Bridge)

And even if I win the lotto, that don't erase all my problems nah

I know I'll make it through tomorrow

with or without what I got right now

I'm getting by and that's the motto

Somehow it will all work out

But no matter where I go

All I know

(Chorus)

Is that I make it look easy (ohhh ohhh)

Cause it ain't hard to see, never counting on a penny (ohhh ohhh)

That I've got coming to me, got coming to me

Well some people they got way more that they need

I wonder why, cause I don't even have to try

I'm gettin' good at gettin' by
