Yea get by and get back
Classic Brooklyn
Lets go Kanye West
Verse 1 Talib Kweli

We sell crack to our own n***a
Im back in the zone
My passionate poems got the feds tappin
My phones
Its like Timothy McVeigh, they say Im actin
Alone
I got a whole team that'll put a gat
To your dome
To get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by
Yo this remix is, we only dealin
With the live hip hop
Yo get , get back n***a(Roc)

Jay Z
Just to get by
Nigge i sold coke, n***a I pushed
Lah
Carrin a fo five
Claimed i was rеady to die
Promised nevеr to cy
Held it all inside
Reality was too much to take so I
Kept my mind fly
Slimmed most of the time
Soon as I closed my eyes
Then I woke up behind
N***a either I throw it up, these
Nines
Or blow yp with rhymes
The best flow of mine is like blow
Up on lines of coka
And your folks think Hov just wrote stuff to
Rhyme
Nah,Ima poster for what happened seein
Your moms
Doing five dollars worth of work to get a
Dime
So pardon my disposition
Why should I listen to a system that never 9
Listened to me?
Picture me working at McDonalds (uh uh)
Id rather pull a mac on ya
Sorry Ms. Jackson bit im packin
Back ground singers:
Bah dah bah dah bah dah
Bah dah bah dah bah dah bah dah bah dah bah daaah

Talib Kweli
Just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by

We keep it gangsta, stay fo shizzle fo
Sheezy
To set the tide to the violence on the tv
During the war
Killin each other is easy, theres war and
Liquor for fallen n***as believe
Me, its ghetto love, I bet you seen it all befo
Just to get by , my people we get fly

My people we get high,filling cigars with the
Lah
N***a come one, even Jesus was stoned
Before receivin the throne
I said to rest inpeace and leave us alone

Busta Rhymes
Back in the days We used to be doing the shit
I can't tell it in the streets
He was hustling friends that asked for it
I guess I was used to just standing on corners
Waiting for paper bags with bundles of crack
Hoping the week was good and I could get
My money back
To get by , Just to get by, Just to get by, Just to get by
When I was stressed I possessed a side of
My strength
That made me angry and bleed
With frustration having me smoking
Newports and weed
To get by, Just to get by, Just to get by, Just to get by
Those be the times when I tried to rely
On my n***as in the street motherfuckers
And reach out to wifey and then a place I call on my mother
To get by, Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
( Hey your mom pick up the phone I got to talk to you ma)
If you was 5% instead of acting
Stupid and guessing You had to go and study your lessons
And know your math in the building
Recession to get by
Talib kweli
This morning I woke up
Feeling brand new, I jumped up
Feeling my highs and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinking
But I've been thinking I got my reasons Just to get by Just to get by just to get by

Talib kweli

Some people try to be fly
They faking they lie
They snakes'll see the hate their eyes
Look at the sky to survive
People try to get by
Fighting for slice in the pie
Trying to eat and be high
How you know you really alive if you don't Reach for the sky ?
Your eyes
Keep on the prize
What you seek and you'll find
Who's the realest n***as? That we let people decide

Who keeping it live?

Brooklyn got the key to the ride, come on
Some people try to be fly
They fake and they lie
They snakes all see the hate in their eyes
Look at the sky to survive people try to get by fighting force
Slice of the Pie
Trying to eat and be high

How you know you really alive if you don't reach for the sky?


Your eyes keep on the prize what you seek and you'll find who's the realest n***as? That we let the people decide
Who keeping it alive
Brooklyn got the key to the ride come on
