[Lyric] Get By (Donnie Menace)

[Intro: Doms Gauge]
Yo, this something y'all been wanting right?
Well here's me and my bros, you got it
Yeah

[Verse 1: Donnie Menace]
My brain's been on one ever since I can remember
Raised in the Devil state infiltrating the land of sinners
Got a lot of demons that talk to me through satanic whispers
But I get to clacking with every shot, no brand of liquor
My mental state is comparable to a manic killer
But I utilize it to do the best that I can deliver
Started small, now my plans are bigger
Using my own blood and tears as some paint as I'm crafting this master picture
Never blended well with others, I'm awkward
I guess that's why I stand out amongst the other performers
I spit what I feel and tell stories of struggles and horror
A gutter marauder that keeps getting tougher and harder
Bad decisions made this come up take longer
But the troubles I've gone through did one thing, just make me stronger
So fuck what you're talking there's only one path that I'm seeking
And if you're not in my present you're in my past for a reason
Come on
[Chorus: Donnie Menace]
I'm just trying to get by trying to get mine
The other side's waiting for me and it's meantime
Between talking and walking there's a thin line
And I'll be damned when my chance comes I'ma miss mine
I'm just trying to get by trying to get mine
The other side's waiting for me and it's meantime
And I know I can actually last
With my face to the future and my back to the past

[Verse 2: Doms Gauge]
Yo, yeah
I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve
Been sewing seeds hoping they don't fall apart at the seams
Finna make the majors while y'all in the varsity leagues
Trying to blend in like some camouflage army fatigue
But me I stand out ever since I dropped out
Never had no handouts
And everything I got now, gotta get it for yourself, can't rely on no one's help
Cause when things get rocky they just wanna box you in and hit below the belt
So I keep my back to the past and as the time passes I just try to stay afloat without the life jackets
I'm trying to dine lavish and wear those fine fabrics
I'm trying to turn these plastic cups into wine glasses
Will I find the road to riches or just drive past it
It could disappear 'fore you finish batting your eyelashes
But when I'm gone they're gonna quote me as a legend
I'm looking towards the future while I'm focused on the present
Let's get it
[Chorus: Donnie Menace]
I'm just trying to get by trying to get mine
The other side's waiting for me and it's meantime
Between talking and walking there's a thin line
And I'll be damned when my chance comes I'ma miss mine
I'm just trying to get by trying to get mine
The other side's waiting for me and it's meantime
And I know I can actually last
With my face to the future and my back to the past
