[chorus]

I'm barely gettin by

Still work-a nine to five

I'm barely gettin by

That's why I'm stayin high

Oh baby,aw

Jump into the ride,cruise the big S.D

Home of Rosie and The Oringinals and P.O.D

And it won't be long til you hear from me

Hopefully I'm not lying that's what they told me

Make the town proud

Make the brown proud

Ever since Brown Crowd

Lil Rob gots his sound down

And I'm still down

Some things just don't change

Like crusin on Sundays

Sleepin on Mondays

Drive thirty on highways

Drinkin on my driveway

My four nine eight still plays fourty five ways

That's how I do it

I thought you knew it

If you didn't now you do

Smoke this,this bud's for you

[chorus]

I'm barely gettin by

Still work-a nine to five

I'm barely gettin by

That's why I'm stayin high

Oh baby,aw

Open up my eyes

I look hypnotized

I feel hypnotized

I aplpogize

This is recongnized

As bein really high

All day everyday this is my way of gettin by

Makes me think in a way that's unique

Makes me feel different about the streets that I creed

Makes you feel good about em

What would I be without em

Couldn't be without em

Wouldn't be me without em

Lil Rob fuckin clowns em

Twenty six years in the same town

I remember how we used to be it's not the same now

It's still something that I'll drink a beer to

Viva La Colonia Southern California

[chorus]

I'm barely gettin by

Still wor-a nine to five

I'm barely gettin by

That's why I'm stayin high

oh baby, aw

Wait a minute check this out

I'm very,very high

I'm very,very high

Time to say goodbye

Keep it on the low

Time to let you know

I don't wanna go but I gotta go

Til the next time around

catch you on the rebound

Until then go and bump my jam round your town

[chorus](x2)

I'm barely gettin by

Still work-a nine to five

I'm barely gettin by

That's why I'm stayin high

oh baby,aw
