Get By (Explicit) 歌詞
Get By (Explicit) - Talib Kweli
Yeah my Lord yeah
We sell crack to our own
Out the back of our homes
We smell the musk at the dusk
In the crack of the dawn
We go through Epidodes II
Like Attack of the Clones
Work 'til we break our back
And you hear the crack of the bone
To get by just to get by
Just to get by just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
We survivalists turned to consumers
To get by just to get by
Just to get by just to get by
Ask Him why some people
Got to live in a trailer
Cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen
Like Norman Mailer
Me and Willa raised three daughters
All by herself with no help
I think about a struggle
And I find the strength in myself
These words melt in my mouth
They hot like the jail cell in the South
Before my ni**a Core bailed me out
To get by just to get by
Just to get by just to get by
We do or die like Bed-Stuy through the red sky
With the window of the red eye
Let the lead fly some G Rap sh*t
Livin' to Let Die＂
This morning I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my highs and my lows
In my soul and my goals
Just to stop smokin and stop drinkin
And I've been thinkin
I've got my reasons
Just to get (by) just to get (by)
Just to get (by) just to get (by)
Ba ba ba ba da bada ba da bada
Ba da bada ba da badahh
Just 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 badahh
Just to get (by) just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)
We keeping it gangster say fo shizzle
Fo sheezy and stayin crunk
Its easy to pull a breezy
Smoke trees and we stay drunk
Yo I activism - attackin the system
The blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision
Sh*t and all they got is rappin to listen to
I let them know we missin you
The love is unconditional
Even when the condition is critical
When the livin is miserable
Your position is pivotal
I ain't bullshittin you
Now why would I lie
Just to get by
Just to get by we get fly
The TV got us reachin for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars
The ones that be readin for parts
Some people get breast enhancements
And penis enlargers
Saturday sinners Sunday morning
At the feet of the Father
They need somethin to rely on
We get high on all types of drug
When all you really need is love
To get by just to get by
Just to get by just to get by
Our parents sing like John Lennon
Imagine all the people watch
We rock like Paul McCartney
From now until the last Beatle drop
This morning I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my high's and my low's
In my soul and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinking
And I've been thinking
I've got my reasons
Just to get (by) just to get (by)
Just to get (by) just to get (by)
Yoyoyo yo
Some people cry and some people try
Just to get by for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We decieve when we lie
And we keepin it fly
Yoyoyo yo
When the people decide
To keep a disguise
Can't see they eyes see the evil inside
But there's people you find
Strong or feeble in mind
I stay readin the signs
