Generate meaning
1
We sell, crack to our own out the back of our homes
2
We smell the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawn
3
We go through "epidodes ii," like "attack of the clones"
4
Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
5
To get by just to get by
6
Just to get by, just to get by
7
We commute to computers
8
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
9
We survivalists, turned to consumers
10
To get by just to get by
11
Just to get by, just to get by
12
Ask him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
13
I paint a picture with the pen like norman mailer
14
Mi abuela raised three daughters all by herself, with no help
15
I think about a struggle and I find the strength in myself
16
These words, melt in my mouth
17
They hot, like the jail cell in the south
18
Before my nigga core bailed me out
19
To get by just to get by
20
Just to get by, just to get by
21
We do or die like bed-stuy through the red sky
22
With the window of the red eye
23
Let the lead fly, some g. rap shit, "livin' to let die"
24
This morning, I woke up
25
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
26
Feeling my highs, and my lows
27
In my soul, and my goals
28
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
29
And I've been thinkin, I've got my reasons
30
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
31
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
32
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
33
Just to get (by by by by by by)
34
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
35
Just to get (by by by by by by)
36
We keeping it gangster say "fo shizzle", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
37
Its easy to pull a breezy, smoke trees, and we stay drunk
38
Yo, I activism attackin the system, the blacks and latins in prison
39
Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision
40
Shit and all they got is rappin to listen to
41
I let them know we missin you, the love is unconditional
42
Even when the condition is critical, when the livin is miserable
43
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin you
44
Now, why would I lie? just to get by?
45
Just to get by, we get fly
46
The tv got us reachin for stars
47
Not the ones between venus and mars, the ones that be readin for parts
48
Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
49
Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the father
50
They need somethin to rely on, we get high on all types of drug
51
When, all you really need is love
52
To get by just to get by
53
Just to get by, just to get by
54
Our parents sing like john lennon, "imagine all the people watch"
55
We rock like paul mccartney from now until the last beatle drop
56
This morning, I woke up
57
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
58
Feeling my high's, and my low's
59
In my soul, and my goals
60
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
61
And I've been thinking, I've got my reasons
62
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
63
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
64
Some people cry, and some people try
65
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
66
You love to eat and get high
67
We deceive when we lie, and we keepin' it fly
68
When, the people decide, to keep a disguise
69
Can't see they eyes, see the evil inside
70
But there's people you find
71
Strong or feeble in mind, I stay readin' the signs
72
Some people cry, and some people try
73
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
74
You love to eat and get high
75
We deceive when we lie, and we keepin' it fly
