Intro 1
Dm
C
F
Gm
Dm
Yeah, my Lord, yeah
Verse 1
Dm
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
Dm
We go through "Episodes II"
like "Attack Of The Clones"
Work 'til we break our back
and you hear the crack of the bone
Dm
C
To get by, just to get by
F
Gm
Just to get by, just to get by
Dm
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute
while you eagles spread rumors
We survivalists, turned to consumers
Dm
C
Just to get by, just to get by
F
Gm
Just to get by, just to get by
Dm
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
Dm
Mi abuela raised three daughters
C
all by herself, with no help
F
I think about her struggle
Gm
and I find the strength in myself
Dm
These words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the south
Before my nigga Core bailed me out
Dm
C
To get by, just to get by
F
Gm
Just to get by, just to get by
Dm
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
Dm
C
This morning, I woke up
F
Gm
Feeling brand new, I jumped up
Dm
Feeling my highs (yeah) and my lows (yeah)
In my soul (yeah) and my goals
Dm
C
Just to stop smokin', and stop drinkin'
F
Gm
And I've been thinkin, I've got my reasons
Dm
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Dm
C
(Ba ba ba, ba ba bada
F
Gm
Dm
Ba ba bada, ba ba bada, ba ba badah)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get...
C
F
(Ba ba bada, ba ba bada
Gm
Dm
Ba ba bada, ba ba badah)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by, by-by)
Verse 2
Dm
We keep it gangster say "fo shizzle",
C
"fo sheezy" and "stayin' crunk"
F
Its easy to pull a breezy,
Gm
smoke trees, and we stay drunk
Dm
Yo, our activism attackin' the system,
the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison
they victim black in the vision
Dm
C
Shit and all they got is rappin' to listen to
F
I let them know we missin' you,
Gm
the love is unconditional
Dm
Even when the condition is critical,
when the livin' is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin' you
Dm
C
Now, why would I lie?
Gm
Just to get by, we get fly
Dm
The TV got us reachin' for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars,
the ones be readin' for parts
Dm
Some people get breast enhancements
Gm
Sunday morning at the feet of the father
Dm
They need somethin to rely on,
we get high on all types of drug
When, all you really need is love
Dm
C
To get by, just to get by
F
Gm
Just to get by, just to get by
Dm
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
Dm
C
This morning, I woke up
F
Gm
Feeling brand new, I jumped up
Dm
Feeling my highs (yeah) and my lows (yeah)
In my soul (yeah) and my goals
Dm
C
Just to stop smokin', and stop drinkin'
F
Gm
And I've been thinkin, I've got my reasons
Dm
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Outro 1
C
F
Some people cry, and some people try
Gm
Dm
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We deceive when we lie, and we keepin' it fly
Y-y-y-yo yo
Dm
C
F
When, the people decide, to keep a disguise
Gm
Dm
Can't see they eyes, see the evil inside
But there's people you find
Strong or feeble in mind,
I stay readin' the signs
