Get High, Get By

Where all these bills come from?

I need my money, nigga

Been going down, hit the ground

I ain't stop running, nigga

I need a break, tryna wait

They say it's coming, nigga, hold on

Been too long

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

Up in arms, running wild

And all they say is, "Hopefully" (all they say is, "Hopefully")

Soon everything will turn around, 'round

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, high, high

That's how we get by, by, by

So we just drink and get high, high, high

That's how we get by, by, by

How three-four times a week I breathe

And reach up into the stars elemental (elemental)

I be going hard with a pencil (pencil)

If money was a car, it's a rental (it's a rental)

How before times when we could breathe on beats

And deliver heart to they mental

Stuck up in the box like a bento (bento)

Don't really give a fuck what you into

You got to do that work, boy (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 gon' sever ties with your dreams

Struggle rounds with your demons

Slave at work and then wait for the weekend

That's why we drinking

So we just drink and get high, high, high

That's how we get by, by, by

So we just drink and get high, high, high

That's how we get by, by, by

Need a lil' more than a lil' bit

Work so hard just to work harder

I ain't got sleep in like three-four days

Tryna make life easy for my daughter
