Get By (勉强应付) - Jay-Z (杰斯)[00:00:00]
History[00:00:01]
Shoutin' it every day y'all right now[00:00:03]
Everyday right now[00:00:06]
Good morning vietnam[00:00:08]
Listen[00:00:10]
Brooklyn wins again[00:00:11]
It's the stuy it's the bush dem niggaz again[00:00:13]
Ta' kweli mighty def and that's 'sta on the guest lock[00:00:16]
Kanye you're the d**e man in hip hop now let's rock[00:00:18]
Now roll out niggaz my hometown niggaz[00:00:21]
I get it good in your hood so slow down niggaz[00:00:24]
Watch the speed though man you better let ease off[00:00:27]
A street talk into a collision course with these walls bam[00:00:29]
They don't move don't pray don't lose don't sleep[00:00:32]
Light passin' light fashion light pappers that pass part a gun[00:00:35]
Black hands up[00:00:38]
Black guns up[00:00:40]
Dyin' wish is to touch the air[00:00:41]
Seekin' heaven that wasn't here[00:00:43]
Eyes will not see another year[00:00:45]
It's another day[00:00:47]
It's the same fight[00:00:48]
Dip around sound the bell[00:00:49]
Mix it up and where you live it up the beat[00:00:50]
And get risen up you're knocked down get it back and get it up[00:00:53]
Get off of queer street and get with us[00:00:56]
And get clear where we did it[00:00:58]
From the heart from the people[00:00:59]
From the top from the jeep[00:01:01]
From the gut from the street[00:01:02]
From my soul to the mic to the essence[00:01:03]
Say in my absence you feel the presence exactly[00:01:06]
I make contact with shorter emcee[00:01:09]
Me and mine we don't just get by[00:01:11]
We get free and that's ready[00:01:13]
Ni**a I sold coke ni**a I pushed lah[00:01:15]
Carried a fo'five[00:01:18]
Claimed I was ready to die[00:01:19]
Promised never to cry[00:01:20]
Held it all inside[00:01:22]
Reality was too much to take so I[00:01:23]
Kept my mind fry[00:01:26]
Slimmed for most of mine[00:01:27]
Soon as I closed my eyes[00:01:28]
Then I woke up behind[00:01:29]
Ni**a either I load up these nines[00:01:32]
Or blow up with rhymes[00:01:34]
Cause this flow of mine is like blow up but lines of coca[00:01:35]
And your folks think hov' just wrote stuff to rhyme[00:01:38]
Nah I'm a poster for what happened seeing your moms[00:01:41]
Doing five dollars worth to work just to get a dime[00:01:43]
So pardon my disposition[00:01:46]
Why should I listen to a system that never listened to me[00:01:48]
Picture me working mcdonald's[00:01:52]
I'd rather pull a mac on you[00:01:54]
Sorry ms jackson but I'm packing[00:01:55]
Weight like nina simone[00:01:57]
Piano flow[00:01:58]
It's like a michaelangelo paintin' a portrait of maya angelou[00:01:59]
And gave it to a sick poet for they antidote[00:02:02]
If music get's you choked up this is the treat anaerobe[00:02:05]
This is shy ni**a I mista all of that[00:02:08]
F**k a mattress put this b**ch on the almanac[00:02:11]
Dice what they hittin' for 'lax what you sittin' on[00:02:13]
Tracks who you spitting on rap till we get it on[00:02:16]
And don't let nobody with the power to sign[00:02:18]
Ever tell you you ain't got the power to rhyme[00:02:21]
They used to tell me toughen up[00:02:23]
Put some bass in your voice[00:02:25]
They used to tell me lighten up[00:02:26]
Put some mase in your voice[00:02:27]
Lord willin' I ain't kill nobody[00:02:29]
But I have a feelin' this album[00:02:31]
That I'm gonna make a killin'[00:02:33]
Well now that's chillin'[00:02:34]
This is love it or hate it music[00:02:35]
But at least we made it music[00:02:37]
And we didn't make it industry[00:02:39]
This is gon' be interesting[00:02:41]
This'll be the end of me or I'm on be an entity[00:02:42]
Kanye jay-z mos def and kweli[00:02:45]
We are not makin' songs no more[00:02:47]
We're makin' history[00:02:49]
This morning I woke up[00:02:50]
Feeling brand new I jumped up[00:02:52]
Feeling my highs and my lows[00:02:55]
In my soul and my goals[00:02:58]
Just to stop smoking and stop drinking[00:03:00]
But I been thinking I got my reasons[00:03:03]
Just to get by just to get by[00:03:05]
Just to get by just to get by[00:03:08]
Just to get by just to get by[00:03:18]
Just to get by just to get by[00:03:20]
Just to get by just to get by[00:03:28]
Just to get by[00:03:31]
We keep it gangsta stay 'fo shizzle' 'fo sheezy'[00:03:32]
To set the tide to the violence on the tv during the war[00:03:34]
Killing each other is easy there's war and liquor for fallen niggaz[00:03:37]
Believe me it's ghetto love I bet you seen it all befo'[00:03:40]
Just to get by my people we get fly[00:03:43]
My people we get high filling cigars with the lah[00:03:45]
Ni**a come on even jesus was stoned before receivin' the throne[00:03:48]
I said to rest in peace to nina simone[00:03:51]
Back in the days we was used to doing the sh*t[00:03:53]
I can't call it all in the streets[00:03:55]
We was hustling fiends that asked for it[00:03:56]
I guess I was used to just standing on corners[00:03:58]
Waiting for paper bags with bundles of crack[00:04:00]
Hoping the week was good so I could get money back[00:04:02]
To get by just to get by just to get by just to get by[00:04:04]
When I was stressed I possessed a side of my strength[00:04:09]
That made me angry and bleed[00:04:11]
With the frustration having me smoking newports and w**d[00:04:12]
To get by just to get by just to get by just to get by[00:04:15]
Those be the times when I try to rely[00:04:20]
On my niggaz and street motherf**kers[00:04:21]
And reach out to wifey and then I place a call on my mother[00:04:23]
To get by just to get by just to get by just to get by[00:04:26]
If you was five percent instead of acting stupid and guessin[00:04:30]
You had to go and study your lessons[00:04:33]
And know your math in the building recession to get by[00:04:35]
This morning I woke up[00:04:37]
Feeling brand new I jumped up[00:04:39]
Feeling my highs and my lows[00:04:41]
In my soul and my goals[00:04:44]
Just to stop smoking and stop drinking[00:04:47]
But I been thinking I got my reasons[00:04:50]
Just to get by just to get by[00:04:52]
Just to get by just to get[00:04:55]
Some people try[00:04:59]
And some people try just to get by[00:05:00]
For my piece of the pie[00:05:02]
You love to eat and be high[00:05:04]
We deceive and we lie[00:05:05]
And we keepin' it fly[00:05:06]
People beside[00:05:09]
Keeper of the skies[00:05:11]
Can't see your eyes[00:05:12]
See the evil inside[00:05:13]
The best people you find[00:05:14]
Stronger people in mind[00:05:16]
I stay readin' the signs[00:05:17]
Some people try[00:05:20]
Some people try just to get by[00:05:21]
For my piece of the pie[00:05:24]
You love to eat and be high[00:05:25]
We deceive and we lie[00:05:26]
And we keepin' it fly[00:05:28]
People beside[00:05:31]
Keeper of the skies[00:05:32]
Can't see your eyes[00:05:33]
See the evil inside[00:05:34]
The best people you find[00:05:36]
Stronger people in mind[00:05:37]
I stay readin' the signs[00:05:38]
