Tryna Get By

We take the good, we take the bad

It's not about what we had

We're just tryna get by

Tryna stay outta trouble

All we wanna do is get a little bit better

We take the joy, we take the pain

It's not about what you gain

We're just tryna get by

We're just tryna get by, yeah

Oh, this is the story of my life

Tryna keep the drama

And the bullshit away

I stay so busy on my grind

I don't even pay attention

To the things that they say

A **** never been as broke as me, I like that

(Now we're makin' this money)

(Gotta get it while I can)

When I was young, I had two pair of Lees

Besides that, the pinstripes and the green

The one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays

While **** flirt, I'm sewing tigers on my shirt

And alligators

You want to see the inside?

Huh, I'll see you later

Here come the drama, oh

That's that **** with the fake, BOW

Why you punch me in my face?

Stay in your place

Play your position, here come my intuition

Go in this **** pocket, rob him while his friend's watchin'

His crew's your crew or they might be next

You know we take the good, we take the bad

It's not about what we had

We're just tryna get by

Tryna stay outta trouble

All we wanna do is get a little bit better

We take the joy, we take the pain

It's not about what you gain

We're just tryna get by

We're just tryna get by, yeah

Look at they man eye, big man, they never try

So we rolled with 'em, stole with 'em

I mean loyalty, **** bought me milks at lunch

This milks was chocolate, the cookies, butter crunch

Pass the blunt

No matter how I did it, I had to stay winnin'

If it was 'bout the paper, I was with it, yeah

I was ashamed, my crew was lame

I had enough heart for most of 'em

Long as I got stuff from most of 'em

It's on, even when I was wrong, I got my point across

They depicted me the boss, of course

My orange boxcutter make the world go round

Plus I'm fuckin' bitches, they my homegirls now

Start stackin', dabbled in crack, gun packin'

Nickname Medina, made the seniors tote my ninas

From gym class to English, pass off a global

The only **** with a mobile

Can't you see like Total?

We take the good, we take the bad

It's not about what we had

We just tryna get by

Tryna stay outta trouble

All we wanna do is get a little bit better

We take the joy, we take the pain

It's not about what you gain

We're just tryna get by

Still we got to do what it takes to get better, yeah

We take the good, we take the bad

It's not about what we had

We just tryna get by

Tryna stay outta trouble

All we wanna do is get a little bit better

We take the joy, we take the pain

It's not about what you gain

We're just tryna get by

We're just tryna get by, yeah

Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on

Just keep on pressin' up

Sky is the limit and you know that you can have

What you want, be what you want
