Get By (feat. Eli Brooklyn)

You've got to live it to the limit
Just to get by
I'm out here working every minute
Just to get by
And if you just don't get it
Then you get left behind
Cause if that all you're getting
Then you ain't getting by

Ever since the genesis been leveling up
Never settled for stuff
Every effort was tough
Sending the Minimum was never enough
Set goals and head closer
Break through to get by like red rover
See the marks on my chest like Bruce Lee
To get by, took more than excuse me
Paper got me in a bind like looseleaf
And imeed it on my desk like Newsweek
Mean every single word you hear that I do speak
Ring the bell then it's go time
Caution on the corner like a road sign
I'm a Get by like a goal line, Take it out the mud just to hold mine
Things getting grimey like a coal mine
The first one to get there, and left there late
Used to say he not bad
Now they saying that he great
If you just getting by then I'm taking your place

You've got to live it to the limit
Just to get by
I'm out here working every minute
Just to get by
And if you just don't get it
Then you get left behind
Cause if that all you're getting
Then you ain't getting by

I'm trying to see you
Through the back window in my rear view
If we ain't getting money feels I can't even hear you
I'm not impressed
Living in excess of success
See I don't want what I already got I want whatever's next
Take a breath
You say it with your chest or say less
They god'll help you if you help yourself
Stay blessed
I'm not gon' front
Like I never made it waiting on a check
Like I never spent a month not knowing how to pay the rent
No regrets
I ain't afraid to take a risk that makes sense
I've seen people take an L and quit for way less
Sometimes the move is sacrifice it's all a game a chess
You gotta weigh your different options up before you take a step
It's cash in hand
I make demands and don't take no for answer
And I set the goals my critics think I'm bold to go after
If you don't get it you gon' end up old with no stature
You gotta get while the getting good cause it only gets faster

You've got to live it to the limit
Just to get by
I'm out here working every minute
Just to get by
And if you just don't get it
Then you get left behind
Cause if that all you're getting
Then you ain't getting by
