I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
But I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
nobody knows what it's like to be me
Nobody knows that the reason I sing
is to speak life to my reality
I wake up each day at quarter to eight
Can't be late got kids to raise got money
to make got bills to pay and dreams to chase
Even though I fly first class Vip pass
caviar and champagne fills my glass
Living that life I'm popping them tags
but I still can't catch a cab

I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
Cause I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own

It's a troubled world that we're living in
A crazy world that I know you feel it spinning in
I know we're trying to live right but trouble's all around me
I don't get arrested now I'm lucky that I got me
And all these buildings falling down
I wonder how much longer this earth will be around
I'm scared to have a child and bring him in this plate cause
We don't know how much more of this about to damage
Imagine if this place that Lennon said exists
Imagine if every child had somewhere to live
I wanna do some more than just imagining
But for now I'll take a get by and wish it to the wind

And I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
And I'm just trying to get along in this world on my own
