Barely Getting By

I'm barely getting by

Still work a nine to five

I'm barely getting by

That's why I'm staying high

Oh baby, aw aw

Jump into the ride, cruise the big s.d.

Home of Rosie and the Originals and p.o.d.

And it won't be long 'till you hear from me

Hopefully I'm not lying, that's what they told me

Make the town proud

Make the brown proud

Ever since Brown Crowd, little Rob gots his sound down

And I'm still down, some things just don't change

Like cruising on Sundays, sleeping on Mondays

Drive thirty on highways, drinking on my driveway

My four nine eight still pays forty-five ways

That's how I do it, I thought you knew it

If you didn't, now you do, smoke this, this bud's for you

I'm barely getting by

Still work a nine to five

I'm barely getting by

That's why I'm staying high

Oh baby, aw aw

Open up my eyes

I look hypnotized

I feel hypnotized

I apologize

This is recognized as being really high

All day, everyday, this my way of getting by

Makes me think that no way that you need me

Makes me feel different about the streets that I creed

Makes me feel good about 'em

What would I be without 'em

Couldn't be without 'em

Wouldn't be me without 'em

Little Rob f**** clowns 'em

Twenty-six years in the same town

I remember how we used to be

It's not the same now

It's still something that I'll drink a beer to

Viva La Colonia Southern California

I'm barely getting by

Still work a nine to five

I'm barely getting by

That's why I'm staying high

Oh baby

Wait a minute, check this out

I'm very very high

I'm very very high

It's time to say goodbye

Keep it on the low

Time to let you know

I don't wanna go but I gotta go

'Till the next time around

Catch you on the rebound

Until then go and bump my jam 'round your town

I'm barely getting by

Still work a nine to five

I'm barely getting by

That's why I'm staying high

Oh baby, aw aw

I'm barely getting by

Still work a nine to five

I'm barely getting by

That's why I'm staying high

Oh baby, aw aw
