[00:00.00]Get By (Explicit) - Talib Kweli
[00:03.80]Yeah my Lord yeah
[00:10.99]We sell crack to our own
[00:12.49]Out the back of our homes
[00:13.80]We smell the musk at the dusk
[00:15.17]In the crack of the dawn
[00:16.43]We go through Epidodes II
[00:17.74]Like Attack of the Clones
[00:18.93]Work 'til we break our back
[00:20.11]And you hear the crack of the bone
[00:21.62]To get by just to get by
[00:23.68]Just to get by just to get by
[00:26.62]We commute to computers
[00:27.62]Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
[00:29.61]We survivalists turned to consumers
[00:31.58]To get by just to get by
[00:34.26]Just to get by just to get by
[00:37.38]Ask Him why some people
[00:38.63]Got to live in a trailer
[00:39.69]Cuss like a sailor
[00:40.57]I paint a picture with the pen
[00:42.07]Like Norman Mailer
[00:43.13]Me and Willa raised three daughters
[00:44.50]All by herself with no help
[00:46.01]I think about a struggle
[00:47.14]And I find the strength in myself
[00:48.52]These words melt in my mouth
[00:50.58]They hot like the jail cell in the South
[00:52.71]Before my ni**a Core bailed me out
[00:54.52]To get by just to get by
[00:55.89]Just to get by just to get by
[00:58.46]We do or die like Bed-Stuy through the red sky
[01:00.90]With the window of the red eye
[01:02.40]Let the lead fly some G Rap sh*t
[01:04.03]Livin' to Let Die＂
[01:05.08]This morning I woke up
[01:06.40]Feeling brand new and I jumped up
