Fine

[Chill bass intro] [Rhodes] [Verse] I see it now. Every day's just another step toward the same death anyhow. But I try. Oh how I try. Wakin' up at six just to make a bit of dough. No rakin' stacks but I'm gettin' by fine. Pa says there's still a lot of me to grow. Don't he see I'm a man of the same bloodline? They be doubtin' me. Throwin' shade like I'm some catastrophe. Maybe it's true. Some days I scrape the bottom of the barrel for reasons to not be blue. But I'm fine. I tell 'em I'm fine. But my words thoughts and actions, they never align. [Chorus] I can get by, yeah yeah. I can get by just fine on my own. Don't need no handouts or government loans. I get by fine...on my own. [Bass solo] [Verse] Saturday mornin', starin' at the mirror. Hopin' I might see my face a little clearer'. Just got up off the floor. Can't remember what I did before, no. Funny feelin', in my head. Maybe I should get back to bed. But I see the lights pourin in. Yeah, see the lights pourin in yeah. I can try to blame the system, my job, or my lack of wisdom. But I know it's me. And I'm just fine. [Chorus] I can get by, yeah yeah. I can get by just fine on my own. Don't need no handouts or government loans. I get by fine...on my own. [Chorus reprise] Oooohhh oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I can get by fine on my own baby. IOoohhh yeah yeah yeah I'm doin fine. Doin just fine on my own, yeah. [Bass solo] [Rhodes] [Outro]
