Akon - Get By

 

Lyrics to Get By by Akon

  Konvict Akon Everybody I know around my way still there (Everybody's still there) And waiting for a miracle to pass them by Most of them are known drug dealers and I know them well (Yes I know them well) That's the only way they know how to survive (how to survive) Cuz it's the way to get by (it's the way to get by) It's the only way to get by (it's the way to get by) If I had a choice aside from this life God knows I’d try (God knows I’d try) Blood stains on the concrete and on the wall Lil Scotty knows kids with guns up in their drawers You’ll see it all in the project holes I’m surprised I’m still singin’ with all our songs Spoons, dirty needles and death is on the daily Nobody is innocent, not even Lil JD I’m just tryin’ to survive out here How many really livin’? We ain’t alive out here Makin’ it to 21 is a blessing Little homie on his wheel, why the f-ck is he stressin’? His mama’s a crackhead, his sister’s a bus damp His daddy’s jail bird so he can sit full now Everybody I know around my way still there (Everybody's still there) And waiting for a miracle to pass them by Most of them are known drug dealers and I know them well (Yes I know them well) That's the only way they know how to survive (how to survive) Cuz it's the way to get by (it's the way to get by) It's the only way to get by (it's the way to get by) If I had a choice aside from this life God knows I’d try (God knows I’d try) In the same jeans, hustlin’ for the quap Day in and day out, hopin’ I don’t get knock Keep my mind on my money, money on my mind And my finger on the trigger, hand on my 9 By any means, I plan for the win Mama told me to slow it down, I’m goin’ to the pen F-ck it, I gotta get it, it’s a must Cuz it’s grimy out here, tell me who can I really trust? Me and only me, I’m strapped up and onward N-ggas out here, no, I ain’t takin’ shit from no one Real n-ggas, big n-ggas with the lamas And anyone else who want any type of drama Everybody I know around my way still there (Everybody's still there) And waiting for a miracle to pass them by Most of them are known drug dealers and I know them well (Yes I know them well) That's the only way they know how to survive (how to survive) Cuz it's the way to get by (it's the way to get by) It's the only way to get by (it's the way to get by) If I had a choice aside from this life God knows I’d try (God knows I’d try) To get away..
