I can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
can't, go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
can't, go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
can't, go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by

When I wake up around 10 in the morning
Feeling crazy, feeling horny
From the night before, 'cause I was up 'til 4 in the morning
Just (song), so I take the long trip
And then I take out my song scripts
When I sit down to write, I always look to God to help me see the light
But I know, that I haven't been living right
And I know, that I can live by the night
But it's so hard for me to put it down
So hard for me to pass up the crown
But it's been past down, I'm sitting on the thrown
Sometimes I feel that in this world, I've just been thrown it
Not been shown it, and I don't know, when to slow me down
But I can't, go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting by

Can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' high
Can't go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' by
Can't go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' high
But this is the life, life, the life, life, the life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, the life, yeah
They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life
They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life

Once again, I hit the hot spot with my SoCal friends
Then I , I hit the ATM, and then I realize that I ain't got no ends
And then I'm like, it was my kin, and my money's goin'
I'm standing at the bar, but the drinks quit flowin'
Strapped for cash, standing on the block, drunk as hell trying to avoid the damn cops
And this is how it is sometimes when you fall of track
Like when you record scratch and you tryin' to run it back
But sometimes the scratch got you deep impact
Make it so hard for you not to look back
Regretting things that you did in the past
Wake up in the morning tell myself that it won't last
But I, tend to get another glass, and I
Start to act like an ass, but I
I can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just gettin' by

Can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' high
Can't go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' by
Can't go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' high
But this is the life, life, the life, life, the life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, the life, yeah
They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life
They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life

I can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just gettin' by

Can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' high
But this is the life, life, the life, life, the life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, the life, yeah
This is the life, life, life, life, life, the life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, the life

I can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just gettin' by
Can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' high
Can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' by
Can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' high
