[D] I wake up around [G] 10 in the morning feeling crazy feeling on it from the night
before cuz I was up to 4 in the morning, [D] love song, so I [G] take the long trip and then I
take out my [D] song script when I sit [G] down and write I always look to God to help me see the light
[D] but I know that I ain't been [G] living right and I know that I can't live by the night but it's so [D] hard for
me to put [G] it down so hard for me to pass up the ground [D] when it's been passed down I'm [G] sitting on
the throne and sometimes I feel in this world I've just been [D] thrown in not been shown in [G] and I don't [D] know when to slow it down
but I can't go [G] on like this knowing that I'm just getting by

[D] yeah, once [G] again I hit the hot spot with my SoCal friends
then I, I hit the ATM and then I realize I ain't got no [D] pens
and then I call up my pen, hey my [G] money's gone when I'm standing at the bar but the drinks been flowing
[D] strapped for cash standing [G] on the block, drunk as hell trying to avoid the damn cops
and [D] this is how it is sometimes when you [G] fall off track
like when you're wrecking stretch and you try to run it back
but sometimes the stretch got too deep and impacted
it makes it so hard for you not to look [D] back regretting things you didn't [G] pass
I wake up in the morning tell myself it won't last
but I tend to get another glass and I start to act like an ass
but [D] I can't go [G] on like this knowing that I'm just getting by
_ can't go on like this knowing that I'm just getting high
[D] _ can't go [G] on like this knowing that I'm just getting by
