Good At Gettin' By
(Verse 1)
Waking up in a Pontiac, but not a nice one
Cause I never get gas till the lights on
Hit the laundry mat, then the dollar tree
Because I got not beef with Chef Boyardee
Been sweepin' my apartment I'm leavin'
Rent is increasing, breakin' my lease
And selling my things so I can do as I please
(Chorus)
I bet I make it look easy (ohhhh ohhhh)
Cause it ain't hard to see, never counting on a penny (ohhh ohhh)
That I've got coming to me, got coming to me
Well some people they got way more that they need
I wonder why, cause I don't even have to try
I'm gettin' good at gettin' by
I'm gettin' good at gettin' by
(ohhhh ohhhh)
(Verse 2)
I've got my mattress from Craigslist
That's all that ever sits on my bathroom floor
And all I have is some chex mix cause I'm too broke for the grocery store
Cross off my list optimistic
Dreams on a napkin, making them happen
After the fact, there's no turning back no more
(Chorus)
I bet I make it look easy (ohhhh ohhhh)
Cause it ain't hard to see, never counting on a penny (ohhh ohhh)
That I've got coming to me, got coming to me
Some people they got way more that they need
I wonder why, cause' I don't even have to try
I'm gettin' good at gettin' by
(Bridge)
And even if I win the lotto, that don't erase all my problems nah
I know I'll make it through tomorrow
with or without what I got right now
I'm getting by and that's the motto
Somehow it will all work out
But no matter where I go
All I know
(Chorus)
Is that I make it look easy (ohhh ohhh)
Cause it ain't hard to see, never counting on a penny (ohhh ohhh)
That I've got coming to me, got coming to me
Well some people they got way more that they need
I wonder why, cause I don't even have to try
I'm gettin' good at gettin' by
I'm gettin' good at gettin' by (ohhh ohhh)
