Lyrics Get By - Jfarrari

If I paid with my life
Would you say that I'm right?
I won't fight
Not tonight
I'm only trying to get by
It's high stakes, our time
Is the currency of our lives
I won't lie
No alibi
I'm only trying to survive

And it doesn't matter what your preacher says to me
Because the blind lead blind without empathy
They're so far removed from the world we bleed
While touting all their flashy apathy

But I'm not a martyr for the cause
I'll just ring the alarm
And do my part to sing
And get you off

If I paid with my life
Would you say that I'm right?
I won't fight
Not tonight
I'm only trying to get by
It's high stakes, our time
Is the currency of our lives
I won't lie
No alibi
I'm only trying to survive

And it doesn't matter when they say you've got the choice
It's an illusion that will strip you of your voice
It's so polarizing
It's the great divide, I know
I'm not idolizing
All the ones who glorify their role

'Cause they keep the dogs at bay
Let hunger pave the way
And set the fire that melts the mess they made

If I paid with my life
Would you say that I'm right?
I won't fight
Not tonight
I'm only trying to get by
It's high stakes, our time
Is the currency of our lives
I won't lie
No alibi
I'm only trying to survive

I'm only trying to get by
I'm only trying to survive this time
Another voice on the assembly line
I'm only trying to get by
