Yeah, Kweli

Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye yeah get back
4
Classic Brooklyn, let's go
5
We sell crack to our own, nigga I'm back in the zone
6
My passionate poems got the feds tappin my phones
7
It's like Timothy McVeigh, they say I'm actin alone
8
I got a whole team that'll put a gat to your dome
9
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
10
Yo this remix is hot, we only dealin with the live hip hop

[Jay-Z]
13
Just to get by
14
Nigga I sold coke, nigga I pushed lah
15
Carried a fo'five
16
Claimed I was ready to die
17
Promised never to cry
18
Held it all inside
19
Reality was too much to take so I
20
Kept my mind fly
21
Slimmed for most of mine
22
Soon as I closed my eyes
23
Then I woke up behind
24
Nigga either I throw it up, these nines
25
Or blow up with rhymes
26
The best flow of mines is like blow up on lines of coke up
27
And your folks think Hov' just wrote stuff to rhyme
28
Nah, I'ma poster for what happened seein your moms
29
Doin five dollars worth to work just to get a dime
30
So pardon my disposition
31
Why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?
32
Picture me working McDonald's (uh uh)
33
I'd rather pull a mac on you
34
Sorry Ms. Jackson but I'm packin
35
[Hook: Talib Kweli + background singers]
36
This morning I woke up
37
Feelin brand new and I, I jumped up
38
Feelin my highs and my lows
39
In my soul, and my goals
40
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
41
But I been thinkin I got my reasons
42
Just to get by, just to get by
43
Just to get (by), just to get
44
(everybody get your hands in the sky, it go)
45
[background singers]
46

(Talib Kweli) Just to get by
58
We keep it gangsta, stay 'fo shizzle', 'fo sheezy'
59
To set the tide to the violence on the TV during the war
60
Killin each other is easy, there's war and liquor for fallen niggas Believe
61
me, it's ghetto love, I bet you seen it all befo'
62
Just to get by, my people we get fly
63
My people we get high, fillin cigars with the lah
64
Nigga come on, even Jesus was stoned before receivin the throne
65
I said to rest in peace and leave us alone
66
[Busta Rhymes]
67
Back in the days we was used to doin the shit
68
I can't call it all in the streets
69
We was hustlin fiends that asked for it
70
I guess I was used to just standin on corners
71
Waitin for paper bags with bundles of crack
72
Hopin the week was good so I could get money back
73
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
74
When I was stressed I possessed a side of my strength
75
That made me angry and bleed
76
With the frustration havin me smokin Newports and weed
77
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
78
Those be the times when I try to rely
79
On my niggas and street motherfuckers
80
And reach out to wifey and then I place a call on my mother
81
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
82
(Hey yo mom pick up the phone, I g- I gotta to talk to you ma)
83
If you was five percent instead of actin stupid and guessin
84
You had to go and study your lessons
85
And know your math in the building recession to get by
86
[Hook: Talib Kweli + background singers]
87
This morning I woke up
88
Feelin brand new and I, I jumped up
89
Feelin my highs and my lows
90
In my soul, and my goals
91
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
92
But I been thinkin I got my reasons
93
Just to get (get), just to get (get)
94
Just to get (get), just to get (get buh buh buh bye bye)

Some people try to be fly
100
They fake and they lie
101
They snakes'll see the hate in their eyes
102
Look at the sky to survive
103
People try to get by
104
Fightin force, slice of the pie
105
Tryin to eat and be high
106
How you know you really alive if you don't reach for the sky?
107
Your eyes keep on the prize
108
What you seek and you'll find
109
Who's the realest niggas? that we let people decide
110
Who keepin it live?
111
Brooklyn got the key to the ride, c'mon
