Get By Lyrics by Rob Carlile

Mentally Illmatic

2022

[Verse 1]
I guess
I'm a piece of work in slow progress
You might never see me at my best
But maybe that's exactly all you see
I guess
Honestly, I'd wish you were impressed
Somethings are unhealthy to confess
And honesty's a foreign policy
[PreChorus]
Well, so what
Maybe I should keep my mouth shut
Maybe everything comes back around
Maybe I should swing as I go down
[Chorus]
Oh well
Maybe I'm not well but I do fine
Maybe I'm not fine but I get by
Maybe I don't get by but I try
[Verse 2]
Oh damn
Maybe I've spent too long without a plan
Maybe I'vе tried to be a good man
But honestly, maybе not hard enough
I guess
I wanna say I'm sorry for the mess
Which is to say I'm sorry for myself
Sometimes I feel bad about so much stuff
[PreChorus]
So what
Maybe I should keep my mouth shut
Maybe everything comes back around
Maybe I should swing as I go down
[Chorus]
Oh well
Maybe I'm not well but I do fine
Maybe I'm not fine but I get by
Maybe I don't get by but I try
Maybe I don't get by but I try
Maybe I don't get by but I try
