Talib Kweli - Get By Lyrics
[Talib]Yeah.. my Lord.. yeah[Verse 1: Talib]We sell, crack to our own out the back of our homesWe smell the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawnWe go through "Epidodes II," like "Attack of the Clones"Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the boneTo get by.. just to get byJust to get by, just to get byWe commute to computersSpirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumorsWe survivalists, turned to consumersTo get by.. just to get byJust to get by, just to get byAsk Him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailorI paint a picture with the pen like Norman MailerMe and Willa raised three daughters all by herself, with no helpI think about a struggle and I find the strength in myselfThese words, melt in my mouthThey hot, like the jail cell in the SouthBefore my nigga Core bailed me outTo get by.. just to get byJust to get by, just to get byWe do or die like Bed-Stuy through the red skywith the window of the red eyeLet the lead fly, some G. Rap shit, "Livin' to Let Die"[Chorus: Background singers]This morning, I woke upFeeling brand new and I jumped upFeeling my highs, and my lowsIn my soul, and my goalsJust to stop smokin, and stop drinkinAnd I've been thinkin - I've got my reasonsJust to get (by), just to get (by)Just to get (by), just to get (by)[Talib and background singers](ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahhJust to get (by), just to get (by)Just to get (by by by by by by)(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahhJust to get (by), just to get (by)Just to get (by by by by by by)[Verse 2: Talib]We keeping it gang
