Lyrics

Some people wake up early

And gotta move all day
Trying to find some food to eat
Or some bottles for the pay
Some people ain’t got nothing
Some folks got even less
Brother ain’t life fuckin’ hard enough?
Try living underneath that stress
You know that ain’t no way to get by
That ain’t no way to get by
That’s how we’re merely surviving
Out here keeping the dream alive
You know that ain’t no way to get by
It ain’t no way to get by

It ain’t no way to get by
Just out here keeping the dream alive
Some people wake up early
And scheme up traps all day
Laying them out along the path
Of the working people on their way
Some people don’t build nothing
Yet they cash all the checks
Making their living off another man’s sweat
While kicking back behind a desk
You know that ain’t no way to get by
That ain’t no way to get by
That’s how we’re merely surviving
Out here keeping the dream alive
You know that ain’t no way to get by
It ain’t no way to get by
It ain’t no way to get by
Just out here keeping the dream alive
Just out here keeping the dream alive
Just out here keeping that old dream alive
