D Smoke
Get High, Get By
[Verse 1: Kenyon Dixon]
Where all these bills come from?
I need my money, n***a
Been going down, hit the ground
I ain't stop running, n***a
I need a break, tryna wait
They say it's coming, n***a, hold on
Been too long

[Refrain: Kenyon Dixon]
Still feeling I'm not where I'm supposed to be (Not where I'm supposed to be)
Up in arms, running wild
And all they say is, "Hopefully" (All they say is, "Hopefully")
Soon everything will turn around, 'round

[Pre-Chorus: Kenyon Dixon]
Another day, another dollar to make
They never listen to a thing that we say anyway
Spent all my time and money making mistakes
Now I'm behind on peace of mind, I just might run aay
Life ain't always left up to what we decidе
Some days it takes a little morе to survive

[Chorus: Kenyon Dixon]
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)
[Verse 2: D Smoke]
How three-four times a week I breathe
And reach up into the stars elemental (Elemental)
I be going hard with a pencil (Pencil)
If money was a car it's a rental (It's a rental)
How before times when we could breathe on beats
And deliver heart to they mental
Stuck up in the box like a bento (Bento)
Don't really give a fuck what you into
You got to do that work, boy (Work, boy)
Fuck the world, lift up that skirt, boy
Before you do make sure she look at you
And say, "Please, proceed, you better make it hurt, boy"
Otherwise you gon' sever ties with your dreams
Struggle rounds with your demons
Slave at work and then wait for the weekend
That's why we drink and get high

[Chorus: Kenyon Dixon]
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)

[Verse 3: Kenyon Dixon]
Need a lil' more than a lil' bit
Work so hard just to work harder
I ain't got sleep in like three-four days
Tryna make life easy for my daughter
So I meditate, they medicate
Do what we gotta to elevate
Anxiety high, I can't catch a break, stop
[Refrain: Kenyon Dixon]
Still feeling I'm not where I'm supposed to be (Not where I'm supposed to be)
Up in arms, running wild
And all they say is, "Hopefully" (All they say is, "Hopefully")
Soon everything will turn around, 'round

[Pre-Chorus: Kenyon Dixon]
Another day, another dollar to make
They never listen to a thing that we say anyway
Spent all my time and money making mistakes
Now I'm behind on peace of mind, I just might run aay
Life ain't always left up to what we decide
Some days it takes a little more to survive

[Chorus: Kenyon Dixon]
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)

[Outro: Kenyon Dixon]
So we just drink and get high (High, high)
That's how we get by (By, by)
