Get By (勉强应付) - Talib Kweli[00:00:00]
Yeah my Lord yeah[00:00:03]
We sell crack to our own[00:00:10]
Out the back of our homes[00:00:12]
We smell the musk at the dusk[00:00:13]
In the crack of the dawn[00:00:15]
We go through Epidodes II [00:00:16]
Like Attack of the Clones[00:00:17]
Work 'til we break our back[00:00:18]
And you hear the crack of the bone[00:00:20]
To get by just to get by[00:00:21]
Just to get by just to get by[00:00:23]
We commute to computers[00:00:26]
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors[00:00:27]
We survivalists turned to consumers[00:00:29]
To get by just to get by[00:00:31]
Just to get by just to get by[00:00:34]
Ask Him why some people[00:00:37]
Got to live in a trailer [00:00:38]
Cuss like a sailor[00:00:39]
I paint a picture with the pen[00:00:40]
Like Norman Mailer[00:00:42]
Me and Willa raised three daughters[00:00:43]
All by herself with no help[00:00:44]
I think about a struggle[00:00:46]
And I find the strength in myself[00:00:47]
These words melt in my mouth[00:00:48]
They hot like the jail cell in the South[00:00:50]
Before my ni**a Core bailed me out[00:00:52]
To get by just to get by[00:00:54]
Just to get by just to get by[00:00:55]
We do or die like Bed-Stuy through the red sky[00:00:58]
With the window of the red eye[00:01:00]
Let the lead fly some G Rap sh*t [00:01:02]
Livin' to Let Die"[00:01:04]
This morning I woke up[00:01:05]
Feeling brand new and I jumped up[00:01:06]
Feeling my highs and my lows[00:01:08]
In my soul and my goals[00:01:11]
Just to stop smokin and stop drinkin[00:01:14]
And I've been thinkin[00:01:16]
I've got my reasons[00:01:18]
Just to get (by) just to get (by)[00:01:19]
Just to get (by) just to get (by)[00:01:22]
Ba ba ba ba da bada ba da bada [00:01:24]
Ba da bada ba da badahh[00:01:27]
Just to get (by) just to get (by)[00:01:31]
Just to get (by by by by by by)[00:01:34]
Ba ba ba ba da bada ba da bada [00:01:36]
Ba da bada ba da badahh[00:01:40]
Just to get (by) just to get (by)[00:01:43]
Just to get (by by by by by by)[00:01:45]
We keeping it gangster say fo shizzle[00:01:47]
Fo sheezy and stayin crunk[00:01:49]
Its easy to pull a breezy [00:01:50]
Smoke trees and we stay drunk[00:01:51]
Yo I activism - attackin the system [00:01:52]
The blacks and latins in prison[00:01:53]
Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision[00:01:55]
Sh*t and all they got is rappin to listen to[00:01:57]
I let them know we missin you [00:01:59]
The love is unconditional[00:02:01]
Even when the condition is critical [00:02:02]
When the livin is miserable[00:02:03]
Your position is pivotal [00:02:05]
I ain't bullshittin you[00:02:06]
Now why would I lie[00:02:08]
Just to get by [00:02:10]
Just to get by we get fly[00:02:11]
The TV got us reachin for stars[00:02:13]
Not the ones between Venus and Mars [00:02:15]
The ones that be readin for parts[00:02:17]
Some people get breast enhancements[00:02:18]
And penis enlargers[00:02:20]
Saturday sinners Sunday morning[00:02:21]
At the feet of the Father[00:02:22]
They need somethin to rely on [00:02:24]
We get high on all types of drug[00:02:25]
When all you really need is love[00:02:27]
To get by just to get by[00:02:29]
Just to get by just to get by[00:02:31]
Our parents sing like John Lennon [00:02:34]
Imagine all the people watch[00:02:36]
We rock like Paul McCartney[00:02:37]
From now until the last Beatle drop[00:02:38]
This morning I woke up[00:02:40]
Feeling brand new and I jumped up[00:02:42]
Feeling my high's and my low's[00:02:44]
In my soul and my goals[00:02:47]
Just to stop smoking and stop drinking[00:02:50]
And I've been thinking[00:02:52]
I've got my reasons[00:02:54]
Just to get (by) just to get (by)[00:02:55]
Just to get (by) just to get (by)[00:02:58]
Yoyoyo yo[00:03:00]
Some people cry and some people try[00:03:02]
Just to get by for a piece of the pie[00:03:05]
You love to eat and get high[00:03:07]
We decieve when we lie [00:03:09]
And we keepin it fly[00:03:10]
Yoyoyo yo[00:03:11]
When the people decide [00:03:12]
To keep a disguise[00:03:14]
Can't see they eyes see the evil inside[00:03:15]
But there's people you find[00:03:18]
Strong or feeble in mind [00:03:19]
I stay readin the signs[00:03:20]
