I’m Just Getting By

[Intro]
(Oh, oh)
(Ooh)
(Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Okay, I get it now
Yes, I can finally see
You’re in a better place
That place is not with me
You’re up in Heaven’s gates
But I can’t lie it’s hell for me
Think of you everyday
I know you’re watching me (Oh)
So tell me that you got me
Tell me why you had to go and see the sky without me?
Tell me why I didn’t get a heads up?
I’ll be waiting on you while you rest up, yeah
I’m wondering where’d you been? Where’d you go?
Drifted apart, but I loved you so
Count to three, then count to four
‘Cause you the only one I counted on
And I know
Only time will tell, we can’t rewind it
And every time I’m alone, I get reminded

[Chorus]
I’m just getting by
‘Cause how the fuck am I supposed to do this?
Dialing you is useless
Got me saying hello, hello
Hello, hello
Wishing you would call me back
I’m just getting by
‘Cause how the fuck am I supposed to tell you?
Feeling like I failed you
When I’m saying hello, hello
Hello, hello
Yet, you never called me back (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Feeling like I’m gone suffocate
Tryna think with no headroom
Having thoughts about meditating
Late nights in my bedroom (Come on)
Running ‘round with no legroom while I chase my goals
I don’t chase these hoes
And my friends be foes
But they don’t know that I know, yeah
Wanna save face, but it’s too far gone
Life too short to be waiting too long
I’mma keep flowing ’til they hate this song
I’mma keep killing two birds, one stone
I been patient, waiting on a chance
Overstating ’til they understand
Lost my nigga, Fredo, I'm like "Damn"
Remember Jared, my first right hand
When I lost you, bro, it made a man
Lost my daddy, Joe, it made a man
Sleeping on the floor, it made a man
Green about a hoe, well never again
Life been moving slow, I’m in a trance
Ain’t nowhere to go, but I advance
I can see the hope, but at a glance

[Chorus]
I’m just getting by
‘Cause how the fuck am I supposed to do this?
Dialing you is useless
Got me saying hello, hello (Yeah)
Hello, hello (Yeah)
Wishing you would call me back
I’m just getting by
‘Cause how the fuck am I supposed to tell you?
Feeling like I failed you
Hen I’m saying hello, hello (Hello)
Hello, hello (Hello)
Yet, you never called me back

[Outro]
Got me saying hello, hello (Hello)
Hello, hello (Hello, hello)
Got me saying hello, hello (Hello)
Hello, hello (Hello, hello)
