The lyrics to L.d.p.'s song "Gettin By" seem to speak about a relationship that has ended and the aftermath of it. The song starts with a sense of gossip and rumors about the other person, saying that they have been "getting down" since the singer left them where they first found love. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes that the other person has moved on and given up on the relationship.
The singer acknowledges that they should have seen this outcome coming, but now it's time for the other person to face the consequences and "pay up." However, the singer also reveals that they have been "getting down" themselves, not out of spite, but because they genuinely cared about the relationship. They may feel hurt and betrayed by the other person's actions and possibly realize that they deserve better.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of perfection, with the singer mentioning how the other person may think they are perfect because of their smile. However, the singer dismisses this perception and claims that the other person is not worth their time or attention.
Overall, the lyrics express a mixture of hurt, indignation, and resilience. The singer acknowledges the pain of the breakup but also asserts their own strength and the fact that they have moved on as well.
