Lyrics

Yeah, you know what I'm saying
Sometimes it just gets hard, you know what I mean
I mean like, I look around and I see everybody struggling
Just trying to get by
So all I wanna do is sit high
But it's a struggle every day trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Every day I'm trying to get by
Of course I wanna sit fly
Cats be on the porch with that source trying to get high
Some wanna get rich and others are just dirt poor
Hours in the streets but do not know who they work for
It's more than just a lifestyle, they trying to get it right now
Every day they on the grind, so no time to pipe down
Some can't put the pipe down, it's drugs in this industry
It's out to kill people, ain't no love in this industry
You look the wrong way and you get mugged in this industry
Blood up on the wall and they in love with this imagery
Man this is stressing me, can't let it get the best of me
Can't be like the rest and act out my motions aggressively
Nah this ain't my specialty, I am not a product of
Every day I'm on the grind so I pray to the God above
Seeing all the signs as I read between the lines
Look into the future with hopes of seeing what's mines
So all I wanna do is sit high
But it's a struggle every day trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
And just know I'm doing all that I can
I feel the world is in the palm of my hand
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
Block parties, everybody wanna aim for me
Doing all I can but they are not who they claim to be
You are just the same to me and this is not a game to me
I'm trying to make it to the top and that is all I came to see
Posted up against the wall, they claim that I'm against the grain
Blood up on the streets every day and that's a sense of shame
It's almost like we're meant for pain but I guess we gotta overcome
Dealing with deception but make sure it's never overdone
Gotta get my mind right, eighty on the interstate
Trying to provide for my fam, scraping off the dinner plate
I know I got mouths to feed, I just wanna make it out
Alive with the opposition's always trying to take me out
Never live in fear though or even think to hesitate
I get it in my mind just in time for it to resonate
And take the information that I get and start to pass it down
If you don't believe me all you gotta do is ask around
So all I wanna do is sit high
But it's a struggle every day trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
Yeah, trying to get by
And just know I'm doing all that I can
I feel the world is in the palm of my hand
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
