We got just everything falling apart here
"We got just everything falling apart here."
Teachers, can I change this sentence to "Just everything is falling apart here" and the meaning is the same."?

We got sounds very sloppy. I don't know what just everything might mean. Do you?
- We got sounds very sloppy.
- I don't know what just everything might mean.
- Do you?

The first one listed is certainly casual - I would call it sloppy in written English but okay as dialogue - and sounds sort of panicky.
