Verse 1
Bm
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
Bm
We go through "Episodes II"
like "Attack Of The Clones"
Work 'til we break our back
and you hear the crack of the bone
Bm
A
To get by, just to get by
D
Em
Just to get by, just to get by
Bm
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute
while you eagles spread rumors
We survivalists, turned to consumers
Bm
A
Just to get by, just to get by
D
Em
Just to get by, just to get by
Bm
Ask him why some people
got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen
like Norman Mailer
Bm
Mi abuela raised three daughters
A
all by herself, with no help
D
I think about her struggle
Em
and I find the strength in myself
Bm
These words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the south
Before my nigga Core bailed me out
Bm
A
To get by, just to get by
D
Em
Just to get by, just to get by
Bm
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"
Chorus 1
Bm
A
This morning, I woke up
D
Em
Feeling brand new, I jumped up
Bm
Feeling my highs (yeah) and my lows (yeah)
In my soul (yeah) and my goals
Bm
A
Just to stop smokin', and stop drinkin'
D
Em
And I've been thinkin, I've got my reasons
Bm
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Bm
A
(Ba ba ba, ba ba bada

Ba ba bada, ba ba bada, ba ba badah)

Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by, by-by)
Verse 2
Bm
We keep it gangster say "fo shizzle",
A
"fo sheezy" and "stayin' crunk"
D
Its easy to pull a breezy,
Em
smoke trees, and we stay drunk
Bm
Yo, our activism attackin' the system,
the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison
they victim black in the vision
Bm
A
Shit and all they got is rappin' to listen to
D
I let them know we missin' you,
Em
the love is unconditional
Bm
Even when the condition is critical,
when the livin' is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin' you
Bm
A
Now, why would I lie?
D
Just to get by?
Em
Just to get by, we get fly
Bm
The TV got us reachin' for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars,
the ones be readin' for parts
Bm
Some people get breast enhancements
A
and penis enlargers
D
Saturday sinners,
Em
Sunday morning at the feet of the father
Bm
They need somethin to rely on,
we get high on all types of drug
When, all you really need is love
Bm
A
To get by, just to get by
D
Em
Just to get by, just to get by
Bm
Our parents sing like John Lennon,
"imagine all the people watch"
We rock like Paul McCartney
from now until the last Beatle drop
Chorus 2
Bm
A
This morning, I woke up
D
Em
Feeling brand new, I jumped up
Bm
Feeling my highs (yeah) and my lows (yeah)
In my soul (yeah) and my goals

Just to stop smokin', and stop drinkin'
D

And I've been thinkin, I've got my reasons
Bm
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
