Artist: Everlast Album: Songs of the Ungrateful Living Song: I Get By Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Everlast] The government man keep callin my house Talkin 'bout I owe, harassin my spouse Gotta park my truck, on another block Cause the subprime loan got my ass in hock Got a couple good friends, with helpin hands I need a brand new job with the health care plan They closed the plant, and stole my job and 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 payin it no mind, it'll all be fine [Chorus] I get by {*scratched: "Got it good"*} I barely get by {*"Got it good"*} I barely get by - by - stay a little high I ain't gonna lie; I barely get by I barely get - by, stay a little high I ain't gonna lie {*"Got it good"*} [Everlast] Party people in the place to be Put your hands in the sky if you barely gettin by It's on and on to the break 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 [Chorus] - first third only [Everlast] And when I finally get home, I can't relax cause I've been overworked and I've been overtaxed My bank account's empty all my cards are maxed And I ain't lookin for no pity I'm just statin the facts I voted for some change, and it's kind of strange how it's all I've got in my pocket I bought a few LED's, now I'm growin some trees and it's a sweet fuckin hustle, don't knock it I told y'all befo' I would break the law to put food in my baby girl's belly Cause a Senator man, took a bribe in hand and went and shipped my job to New Delhi [Chorus] [Everlast] Party people in the place to be Put your hands in the sky if you barely gettin by It's on and on to the break 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 [Chorus]
