Verse 1
Bbm
We sell, crack to our own out
the back of our homes
We smell the musk at the dusk
in the crack of the dawn

We go through "Episodes II"
like "Attack Of The Clones"
Work 'til we break our back
and you hear the crack of the bone

Ask him why some people
got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen

Mi abuela raised three daughters
Ab
all by herself, with no help

I think about her struggle

These words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the south
Before my nigga Core bailed me out

To get by, just to get by
Db
Ebm
Just to get by, just to get by

We do or die like Bed-Stuy
through the red sky
With the window of the red eye
Let the lead fly,
on some G. Rap shit, "livin' to let die"

"fo sheezy" and "stayin' crunk"
Db
Its easy to pull a breezy,
Ebm
smoke trees, and we stay drunk

Yo, our activism attackin' the system,
the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison

Ab
Shit and all they got is rappin' to listen to
Db
I let them know we missin' you,
Ebm
the love is unconditional

Even when the condition is critical,
when the livin' is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin' you

Now, why would I lie?

Just to get by?

The TV got us reachin' for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars,
the ones be readin' for parts
Bbm
Some people get breast enhancements
Ab
and penis enlargers
Db
Saturday sinners,

When, all you really need is love
