Lyrics: Ilham Jufri/Anthony Chaney
Music: Ilham Jufri
With how I speak, I need you to listen close
With every word I say, they always try to provoke
My mind is woke with these notes
For the tortured, broken hearted and silenced
Lets be honest, this world is cursed
Itâs an on going cycle
War, pain and fear the temperatureâs gettin' vital
Overseas and civil rivals, causing anger
I just know for now, weâre in danger
I know itâs hard sometimes to get through the night
No where to turn between left or right
Walking through the darkness to find the light
We just some young ones trying to get by
Get by
Get by
Stay alive, survive, just trying to get by
Get by
Get by
Terrified of what the future holds
In a heated land weâre still living oddly cold
Iâm losing hope in these politicians How do we have more rights for a weapon than a woman making decisions?
Weâre stuck in a warzone of our own Cameras flashing while the bullet are killing the young and grown
We protest cause the stress ainât given us peace
Instead of listening, you rather kill us dead in the street
Week by week, dear Lord I need answers I donât think this world can handle another massacre
Is this the end of times or is this just the beginning?
Iâm just a man of the flesh on a mission for the people to listen
Where do we go from here
Living in greater fear
No need to shed a tear
I pray we see it clear
We gonna be alright
Forever we will strive
Itâs just a test of time
Fighting to stay alive
I know itâs hard sometimes to get through the night
No where to turn between left or right
Walking through the darkness to find the light
We just some young ones trying to get by
Get by
Get by
Stay alive, survive, just trying to get by
Get by
Get by
Oh, Do you hear our cryâs
(Do you hear them?)
Do you hear their lies
(Do you hear them?)
I know itâs hard sometimes to get through the night
No where to turn between left or right
Walking through the darkness to find the light
We just some young ones trying to get by
Get by
Get by
Stay alive, survive, just trying to get by
Get by
Get by
