Tryin To Get By

[Intro]
Yeah
This that real Black shit
(I'm talking 'bout him)
Yeah, gon' talk about that shit
It's getting hard in these streets
(What you say?)
It's hard everywhere, y'all
(I'm tryin' to pay my bills)

[Verse 1]
Standing at the crossroads (Yeah, oh)
And don't know which way to go, oh, oh
Money's funny when it's due, when it's due (What?)
Lord, which path should I choose? Oh-oh (Mmm)

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on, keep on, keep on holding on (Oh, it's hard, yeah)
Keep on, keep on, keep on moving on (So hard sometimes)
Keep on, keep on, keep on holding on (You gotta keep on, yeah)
Keep on, keep on, keep on moving on (But you gotta keep on, y'all, come on)

[Chorus]
Tryin' to get by in this world (Hold on)
Tryin' to survive, yeah
Tryin' to get by in this world (Yeah, yeah)
Tryin' to survive, tryin' to survive

[Verse 2]
Searching for the high road (Da, da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da)
Need some peace for my soul
So much unrest surrounding me (Sometime, yeah)
Sometimеs it feels like I can't breathe (I can't brеathe)
Oh, I gotta keep on, y'all

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on, keep on, keep on holding on (Come on, y'all, oh, but it's hard, yeah)
Keep on, keep on, keep on moving on (So hard sometimes)
Keep on, keep on, keep on holding on (Talk to it, you gotta keep on, yeah)
Keep on, keep on, keep on moving on (Show you right)

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, tryin' to get by (Where?) in this world
Tryin' to survive (Oh, but it's hard)
Tryin' to get by (So hard sometimes)
Tryin' to survive (Tryin' to survive, yeah)
Tryin' to get by (Tryin' to get by, tryin' to get by in this world, in this world)
Tryin' to survive (Tryin' to survive, ooh, yeah)
Tryin' to get by (I feel like I can't make it in this world sometimes)
Tryin' to survive (Tryin' to survive, yeah)

[Outro]
Ooh-oh, tryin' to get by
Oh, tryin' to get by
By
Tryin' to, tryin' to, tryin' to get by
