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
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting high
But I wake up around 10 in the morning
Feeling crazy, feeling horny
From the night before
'Cause I was up 'til four in the morning
Just sing, 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 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 shown it
Not been shown it, and I don't know, when to slow me down
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
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting high
Hey, but this is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life
They tell me it's the life, life, life, life, life, life, 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 off track
Like when you record scratch and you tryin' to run it back
But sometimes the stress 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 actin' like an ass, 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
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting high
But this is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, yeah
They tell me it's the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
They tell me it's the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
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
But this is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, yeah
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, yeah
Hey, this is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life
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
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting high
This is the life
This is the life
This is the life, I've got the life
