The Life - Gary Clark, Jr.

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
