Get By (We're All Just Tryin' to Make It) Video (MV)

Little Timmy Thomas robbed the Kenjo on the corner
With a pistol that he lifted from his buddy Bobby Warner
Got seven hundred dollars and eleven pack o' cigs
And everyone in town knew exactly who had did it
If his mama would've been there, man
You know that she'd have hid him
Smoking stolen Marlboro Reds
When the Feds came to get him

We're all just trying to make it
We're all just trying to get by
If we want it then we take it
Seems to be the words that we live by
They say they crucified Jesus with a couple of thieves
Lord we don't know we do
We just know what we need

Theresa was the finest piece of tail he'd ever seen
It blew his mind back how she got all of that in them jeans
He walked over and told her she could have his last name
She asked him what he drove, he told her a black Range Rover
Same ol' song and dance
Kick the drummer
She thought that he was ugly
But she's looking for a come up

We're all just trying to make it
We're all just trying to get by
If we want it then we take it
Seems to be the words that we live by
They say they crucified Jesus with a couple of thieves
Lord we dont know what we do
We just know what we need

So Father please forgive us for our lust and greed
But you created temptation so how 'bout a little empathy
Respectively
I mean, if we think objectively
This is kinda your fault
'Cause this is kinda your thing

Super mega corporation CEO
Seven figures but doesn't give no PTO
Work 'em all like a dog
Treat 'em all like a slave
These motherf*ckers are lucky they get minimum wages
Pay keeps getting lower
""Average Joe"" is in fear
While execs collect checks
It's a record year

We're all just trying to make it
We're all just trying to get by
If we want it then we take it
Seems to be the words that we live by
They say they crucified Jesus with a couple of thieves
You won't believe the things we do
To get the things we think we need
