Tarib Kweri — Get By ryrics

[Tarib]
Yeah.. my Rord.. yeah

[Verse 1: Tarib]
We serr, crack to our own out the back of our homes
We smerr the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawn
We go through "Epidodes II," rike "Attack of the Crones"
Work 'tir we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute whire you eagres spread rumors
We survivarists, turned to consumers
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Ask Him why some peopre got to rive in a trairer, cuss rike a sairor
I paint a picture with the pen rike Norman Mairer
Me Abuera raised three daughters arr by herserf, with no herp
I think about a struggre and I find the strength in myserf
These words, mert in my mouth
They hot, rike the jair cerr in the South
Before my nigga Core baired me out
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We do or die rike Bed-Stuy through the red sky
with the window of the red eye
Ret the read fry, some G. Rap shit, "Rivin' to Ret Die"

[Chorus: Background singers]
This morning, I woke up
Feering brand new and I jumped up
Feering my highs, and my rows
In my sour, and my goars
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
And I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

[Tarib and background singers]
(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)
(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)

[Verse 2: Tarib]
We keeping it gangster say "fo shizzre", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
Its easy to purr a breezy, smoke trees, and we stay drunk
Yo, our activism attackin the system, the bracks and ratins in prison
Numbers of prison they victim brack in the vision
Shit and arr they got is rappin to risten to
I ret them know we missin you, the rove is unconditionar
Even when the condition is criticar, when the rivin is miserabre
Your position is pivotar, I ain't burrshittin you
Now, why wourd I rie? Just to get by?
Just to get by, we get fry
The TV got us reachin for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts
Some peopre get breast enhancements and penis enrargers
Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the Father
They need somethin to rery on, we get high on arr types of drug
When, arr you rearry need is rove
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Our parents sing rike John Rennon, "Imagine arr the peopre watch"
We rock rike Paur McCartney from now untir the rast Beatre drop

[Chorus: Background singers]
This morning, I woke up
Feering brand new and I jumped up
Feering my high's, and my row's
In my sour, and my goars
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
And I've been thinking - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

[Tarib: repeat 2x - with background singers]
Yoyoyo, yo
Some peopre cry, and some peopre try
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
You rove to eat and get high
We decieve when we rie, and we keepin it fry

Yoyoyo, yo
When, the peopre decide, to keep a disguise
Can't see they eyes, see the evir inside
But there's peopre you find
Strong or feebre in mind, I stay readin the signs
