Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Get stoned, get stoned, get stoned, get stoned
We sell crack to our own out the back of our homes
We smell the musk of the dusk in the crack of the dawn
We go through episodes too, like Attack of the Clones
Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
To get by, just to get by, to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers, spirits stay mute
While your equals spread rumors
We survivalists turned to consumers
To get by, to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Ask me why I saw people gotta live in a trailer
Cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer
Me a weller, raised three daughters all by herself
With no help, I think about her struggle
And I find the strength in myself
These words melt in my mouth
They hot like the jail cell in the south
Before my nigga Cor' bailed me out
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
Do or die like Bedstuy
Through the red skies, the window of a red-eye
Let the lead fly, some G rap shit
Living the lead life
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, just to get by
To get by, just to get by, just to get by, get by
Looks like the good landing gear
Time, time we got some answers
They step out of the eagle
And shout out to an unseen world we don't know
And the away
Yeah, I know, as though they
Step left, around, and
Now, here comes the music
