Lyrics
Chorus: (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. Verse 1: (Diezel P): I got my sons running with me on this happiness pursuit/ On a quest like Fresh Prince, because I deserve it too/ Because I battle and fight, traveling while handling mics/ Unraveling bills, still can’t get a handle on life/ It’s a slight problem spending nights starving, as long as there’s rice or ramen/ That’s enough fuel to ignite thoughts for righteous causes/ Times get hard not being 5 mic artists/ But life is priceless regardless, watching us strive toward progress/ (Landon): As live as our sets get, we’re writing projects/ And that’s so you never forget the nights we rock next/ I wake up, another day and I’m spent/ I roll over just to think about the places I’ve been/ And my mom says to face it, barely making this rent/ Decision’s basic yet complacent, got me aching to win/ Depression turns to motivation when I’m caught in that pain/ Because there’s no greater feeling than hopping off of that plane/ Chorus: (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. Verse 2: (Landon): Its half enticing at nights the sacrifice and the price/ Of this rapping life, it’s quite a vice with the mic/ But I… See the bad with the good, the habit of having it/ Could of happened and slashing through these passionate cooks/ Look…. I’m a chef in this game, no I’m a ref in this game/ I wet my whistles with professional aim/ So that way I could never let these haters hurt me/ Its full court until I’m hanging and I wave my jersey/ (Diezel P): Yeah we struggle in the game like we’re playing for New Jersey/ But the ball’s still in our court, dictated by a jury/ So I play them like a plaintiff, just in case they try to serve me/ I scribe what’s on my mind, protect my writes like attorneys/ Sure it certainly deters me after learning what’s my earnings/ But success is a sure thing when equip for the journey/ They used to have stiff necks, now we keep their heads turning/ It’s our purpose, writing a verse is what we call working, and I love it/ Chorus: (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. 16 bar instrumental Chorus: (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. (Diezel P): I can’t believe all the things I do. (Landon): Just to get through, just to get through. (Diezel P): And every thing I do is to be with you. (Landon): Just to get to you, just to get to you. Outro
