Get By

(album: Don't Forget To Look Up - 2022)

Said, two phones and two lines
Look who's ringing
Selling half dozen 3.5's just for living
Keeps it sparked up and street wise
No forgiving, now he's
Oh yes

Now he's at home and mum cries
She's been drinking
Keeps her glass by her bedside
Full of sinning
At the back of those eyes, you can see it killing (Oh, oh)

And I'm still here tryna get by
(Know that it gets lonely)
Still here tryna get your head right
(Know that it's not only you)
And I'm still here tryna get by
(Know that it gets lonely)
Still here tryna get your head right
(Know that it's not only you)

Still dodging cracks in the pavement
He don't want his luck to run out
Now he's staring at these four walls
Still looking for a way out
'Cause this time never solved it and this life never promised
And it's Hard to keep your head up when you're tired of being honest

Now he's at home and he cries
No one listens
Keeps a mask by the bedside
Just for living
At the back of those eyes, you can see it killing (Oh, oh)

And I'm still here tryna get by
(Know that it gets lonely)
Still here tryna get your head right
(Know that it's not only you)
And I'm still here tryna get by
(Know that it gets lonely)
Still here tryna get your head right
(Know that it's not only you)

Still here trying to get your head right
And tomorrow doesn't look too bright
And no wonder why we look outside
You know some will never live these times

And I'm still here tryna get by
(Know that it gets lonely)
Still here tryna get your head right
(Know that it's not only you)
And you're still here tryna get by
(Know that it gets lonely)
Still here tryna get your head right
(Know that it's not only you)

(What love means to me is, a very rare feeling that I get
I suppose the people I love, I trust the most
And I know that they trust me, yeah
And do anything for me)
