Get By

(Hook - Spoon sample):

We make love to some with sin
We seek out the taciturn
That's the way we get by
The way we get by
Oh that's, the way we get by
The way we get by

Will Brennan (verse 1):

Black dude, breakin' rules
Living it like I'm trying to win.
Head first, shallow pool?
I don't really care I'm diving in.
Rollin' up with my finest friend
Smoking up the whip I'm riding in.
Bad behavior, nothing major
Feelin' like it's that time again.
Wanna get a little shining in.
Tell the world to listen up!
Wayward mind's a dangerous mind
But doing it the hard way made us tough
Doin' our best with the lives we love.
Puttin' in work with the friends we trust
Takin' our time, homie, ain't no rush.
But I gotta get there, no slowin' up!

Will (refrain)

They say: I'm loosing my mind
I'm headed down the wrong road
And I should stop it.
But I don't see nothin' I'm doing that's killing me.
They say I need to slow down
I'm going way too fast
Somebody stop him!
But ain't nobody that know how to get ride of me.

(Hook):

That's the way we get by
The way we get by
Oh, that's the way we get by
The way we get by
That's the way we get by

Will Brennan (verse 2):

I'm thinking the problem is you
Look at how boring your life is
You saying that's how we should live?
What's wrong with a little excitement?
There's always a chance you could fall,
Anytime you thinkin' of flying
Well, maybe I'm crazy
Or maybe my bravery's finally rising
'Cause I ain't scared
No I ain't scared, I'm good to go!
Learned a couple lessons, that's good to know
Had a few struggles, that's good for growth
Living on edge, trying to make the most
Of every new day that I'm blessed to see
Freedom is the ultimate
And that's something I'm blessed to be!

Will (refrain):

They say: I'm loosing my mind
I'm headed down the wrong road
And I should stop it.
But I don't see nothin' I'm doing that's killing me.
They say I need to slow down
I'm going way too fast
Somebody stop him!
But ain't nobody that know how to get ride of me.

(Hook):

That's the way we get by
The way we get by
Oh that's, the way we get by
The way we get by
That's the way we get by

Will Brennan (verse 3)

I took the lessons with me
I let the drama stay
Only depending on myslef, just like my mama say.
Oh yeah, I'm doing good!
And I hope you're doing great
See, I still wish the best for you
Even though I know you fake
Even though I know you shady
Even though I know you hate
Even though I know you life, every time your ass go to conversate
Even though I know you grimy
Even though I know you green
Stuck in that nightmare of a life
While I'm about to live my dream!

(Hook):

That's the way we get by
The way we get by
Oh that's, the way we get by
The way we get by
Oh that's, the way we get by
The way we get by
That's the way we get by
