I GOT BY | Freedy Cover | Written by Richy

[Intro] [sustained distorted electric guitar, bright acoustic guitar strumming] Ho, ho, Lord [Chorus] [gritty male vocals] I said I would get away from my past I've been pulled into it and failed again Know this prayer isn't gonna be my last I'm making my amends till the end He already knows I'm just rotting flesh The maggots will crawl all over my death At the judgment where the life screams refresh From the beginning where I took my first breath He'll tell me everything that I've done wrong He'll open the book and see if I belong Then I'll do it, then I'll gladly testify Jesus Christ is the reason I got by [heavy drum fill, distorted guitar chugging] [Verse 1] [rhythmic rap vocals, driving drum beat] Not gonna lie I lived a life of sin Do things I shouldn't have just to fit in Seeing as the darkness is what it is Temptation's greater when it's the biz I'm to blame for the darkness that I caused There's some sides of me that I need to pause I'm sure I fell because I'm not perfect But I can't continue to leave it unchecked I'm sure I'll probably just take my own Too late in this game to play the lone My mental health isn't good as I portray Even as I pray I say to this day Really shouldn't be here any longer And when I act like I'm stronger I can see my weakness is apparent These words that I'm already transparent I wipe more tears than I can even count Poured my heart out cause I'll never amount To anything worthy feeling hope When I know that something did feel good, nope There's a mess cause what is a good life without the goods When I've seen all the troubles when I was in the hood Depression sets in when this puzzle was too much A life I don't want so why the struggle All the times I prayed to be taken away The times I went outside thinking it's today Doctors put me on this medication God's my doctor so where's my fixation There's no pills that's gonna fix my problem So much darkness I can't stay away from When the Holy God does look at my wrongs I'm just hoping He's gonna hear this song [vocal sustain] [Bridge] [melodic rock vocals, acoustic guitar] I know I'm never gonna be a saint Too much darkness in this heart with black taint Really wish I could just splash some red paint But that just might make me someone I ain't [Chorus] [aggressive belted vocals, full band intensity] I said I would get away from my past Been pulled into it and it won't last Know this prayer isn't gonna be fast I'll be making amends till the end He already knows I'm just rotting flesh The maggots will crawl all over my death At the judgment where my life screams refresh From the beginning where I took my first breath He'll tell me everything that I've done wrong He'll open the book and see if I belong I'll do it then I'll gladly testify Jesus Christ is the reason I got by [long vocal sustain, final
