Тексты песен Talib Kweli

Текст песни "Get By (Remix)"


[Talib Kweli]
Yeah, Kweli
Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye yeah get back
Classic Brooklyn, let's go

We sell crack to our own, nigga I'm
back in the zone
My passionate poems got the feds
tappin my phones
It's like Timothy McVeigh, they say I'm
actin alone
I got a whole team that'll put a gat to
your dome
To get by, just to get by, just to get
by, just to get by
Yo this remix is hot, we only dealin
with the live hip hop
Yo get by, get back nigga (Roc)

[Jay-Z]
Just to get by
Nigga I sold coke, nigga I pushed lah
Carried a fo'five
Claimed I was ready to die
Promised never to cry
Held it all inside
Reality was too much to take so I
Kept my mind fly
Slimmed for most of mine
Soon as I closed my eyes
Then I woke up behind
Nigga either I throw it up, these nines
Or blow up with rhymes
The best flow of mines is like blow up
on lines of coke up
And your folks think Hov' just wrote
stuff to rhyme
Nah, I'ma poster for what happened
seein your moms
Doin five dollars worth to work just to
get a dime
So pardon my disposition
Why should I listen to a system that
never listened to me?
Picture me working McDonald's (uh
uh)
I'd rather pull a mac on you
Sorry Ms. Jackson but I'm packin

[Hook: Talib Kweli + background
singers]
This morning I woke up
Feelin brand new and I, I jumped up
Feelin my highs and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
But I been thinkin I got my reasons
Just to get by, just to get by
Just to get (by), just to get
(everybody get your hands in the sky,
it go)

[background singers]
bah dah bah dah, bah dah bah dah
Bah dah bah dah, bah dah bah
daaah

[Talib Kweli]
Just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by
(...hands in the sky, it go)

[background singers]
bah dah bah dah, bah dah bah dah
bah dah bah dah, bah dah bah
daaah

[Talib Kweli]
Just to get by, just to get by
(Talib Kweli) Just to get by

We keep it gangsta, stay 'fo shizzle',
'fo sheezy'
To set the tide to the violence on the
TV during the war
Killin each other is easy, there's war
and liquor for fallen niggas Believe
me, it's ghetto love, I bet you seen it
all befo'
Just to get by, my people we get fly
My people we get high, fillin cigars
with the lah
Nigga come on, even Jesus was
stoned before receivin the throne
I said to rest in peace and leave us
alone

[Busta Rhymes]
Back in the days we was used to
doin the shit
I can't call it all in the streets
We was hustlin fiends that asked for
it
I guess I was used to just standin on
corners
Waitin for paper bags with bundles of
crack
Hopin the week was good so I could
get money back
To get by, just to get by, just to get
by, just to get by
When I was stressed I possessed a
side of my strength
That made me angry and bleed
With the frustration havin me smokin
Newports and weed
To get by, just to get by, just to get
by, just to get by
Those be the times when I try to rely
On my niggas and street
motherfuckers
And reach out to wifey and then I
place a call on my mother
To get by, just to get by, just to get
by, just to get by
(Hey yo mom pick up the phone, I g- I
gotta to talk to you ma)
If you was five percent instead of
actin stupid and guessin
You had to go and study your lessons
And know your math in the building
recession to get by

[Hook: Talib Kweli + background
singers]
This morning I woke up
Feelin brand new and I, I jumped up
Feelin my highs and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
But I been thinkin I got my reasons
Just to get (get), just to get (get)
Just to get (get), just to get (get buh
buh buh bye bye)

[background singers repeat in the
background]
bah dah bah dah, bah dah bah dah
bah dah bah dah, bah dah bah
daaah

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