Bilingual
We sell crack to our own at the back of our homes
Smell the musk at the dusk and the crack of the dawn
We go through episodes too, like Attack of the Clones
Work 'til we break our back, you hear the crack of the bones
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers, spirits stay mute
While you evil spread rumors
We survivalists turned to consumers
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Asking why some people gotta live in a trailer crushed like a sprayer
I paint a picture with a pen like Norman Mailer, me and Rilah Raler
Three daughters all by hisself with no help
I think about her struggle and I find the strength in myself
These words melt in my mouth, stay hot like a jail cell in the south
Before my brother Corey bailed me out
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
We do or die like Bust down through the red sky
With a window of a red eye, let the lead fly
Some G rap shit, living to let die
This morning I woke up feeling brand new
And jumped up feeling my high
And my lows, and my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
And I've been thinking about my reasons
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
We keep it gangsta, say fo' shizzle, for sheezy and staying crunk
It's easy to pull a breezy, smoke trees and we stay drunk
No more activism, attacking the system
The blacks and latins in prison, number imprisoned
They victim black and their vision shitten
All they got is rapping to listen to
I let 'em know we missin' you
The love is unconditional
Even when the condition is critical
And the living is miserable
Your position is pivotal
I ain't bullshittin' you now
Why would I lie? Just to get by, just to get by
We get fly, the TV got us reaching for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars
The ones that be reading for parts
Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
Saturday sinners, Sunday morning at the feet of the father
They need something to rely on
We get high on all types of drugs
When all you really need is love
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Our parents sing like John Legend, imagine all the people watch
We rock like Paul McCartney from now until the last Beatle drops
This morning I woke up feeling brand new
And jumped up feeling my high
And my lows, and my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
And I've been thinking about my reasons
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Just to get
Some people cry, some people try
Just to get by for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We deceive when we lie, and we keeping it fly
Just to get
When the people decide to keep us disguised
Can't see that I see the evil inside
But there's people you find, strong and feeble in mind
I stay reading the signs
Just to get by
