Derek Pope
We Get By
[Verse 1]
Pack another bowl in a pipe dream
Went to state school, dropped out
Found out nobody was like me
Doc gave me Xans, gave me Zoloft, think that I was 19
In my complex where they'd find me at
Plug pullin' up like the ice cream man
Vice yeah way before the vice had land
Free nights, still tell ya that I might have plans
Can I really say I'm doin' all I can?
Got a lot of mud to wash off these hands

[Bridge]
There's some rules
In the garden
Play it cool
We're all starvin'
And our city
Killed the forest
We're still melting
Don't ignore us
We're still
Here (here)
Here (here)

[Verse 2]
We went postal
Had to get some new material
Turkey bag up in the cereals
What a Cheerio
Keep it spiritual
Count my miracles
Moved to LA
I was my own cell mate
In my mind I get high
That's a jailbreak
We'll be fine, we'll be fine
With no fail-safe
Try to talk to her
It's a stalemate
[Hook x4]
We get by
Somehow we get by

[Verse 3]
Tried to work a desk
Wasn't worth the check
Every girl I met
Named molly percocet
Had to cut 'em loose
Wasn't worth the stress
Gave up everything
Is it worth it yet?
Couple years pass
Now my flight crew gotta keep me on a clear path
Conversations in my head, but you don't hear that
High off tear gas
Know the end's near
But we don't fear that

[Hook x8]
We get by
Somehow we get by



















[Verse 1]
Pack another bowl in a pipe dream
Went to state school, dropped out
Found out nobody was like me
God gave me xan, gave me Zoloft, think that I was 19
In my complex where they find me at
Plug pullin' up like the ice cream man
Vice yeah way before the vice had land
Free nights, still tell ya that I might have plans
Can I really say I'm doin' all I can?
Got a lot of mud to wash off these hands
[Bridge]
There's no rules
In the garden
Play it cool
We're all starvin'
Banned our ceiling
Killed the forest
Where's the mountain
Don't ignore us
We're still
Here (here)
Here (here)

[Verse 2]
We went postal (we went postal)
Had to get some new material (material)
Jerking back up in the cereals (whoah)
What a cheerio (hey)
Keep it spiritual (woah)
Count my miracles (hey)
Moved to LA
I was my own cell mate (cell mate)
In my mind I get high
That's a jailbreak (jailbreak)
We'll be fine, we'll be fine
With no fail-safe (no fail-safe)
Try to talk to her
It's a stalemate

[Hook x4]
We get bars
Now we get by
