you'reknocked down get it back and get it up Get off of queer street and get with us And get clear where we did it From the heart from the people From the top from the jeep From the gut from the street From my soul tothe mic tothe essence Say in my absence you feel the presence exactly I make contact with shorter emcee Me and mine we don'tjust get by We get free and that'sready Ni**aI sold coke ni**aI pushed lah Carried a fo'fiveClaimed I was ready to die Promised never to cry Held it all inside Reality was too much to take so I Kept my mind fry Slimmed for most of mine Soon as I closed my eyes Then I woke up behind Ni**aeither I load up these nines Or blow up with rhymes Cause this flow of mine is like blow up but lines of coca And your folks think hov'just wrote stuff to rhyme Nah

mcdonald'sI'drather pull a mac on you Sorry ms jackson but I'mpacking Weight like nina simone Piano flow It'slike a michaelangelo paintin'a portrait of maya angelou And gave it to a sick poet for they antidote If music get'syou choked up this is the treat anaerobe This is shy ni**aI mista all of that F**ka mattress put this b**chon the almanac Dice what they hittin'for 'laxwhat you sittin'on Tracks who you spitting on rap till we get it on And don'tlet nobody with the power to sign Ever tell you you ain'tgot the power to rhyme They used to tell me toughen up Put some bass in your voice They used to tell me lighten up Put some mase in your voice Lord willin'I ain'tkill nobody But I have a feelin'this album That I'mgonna make a killin'Well now that'schillin'This is love it or hate it music But

We'remakin'history This morning I woke up Feeling brand new I jumped up Feeling my highs and my lows In my soul and my goals Just to stop smoking and stop drinking But I been thinking I got my reasons Just to get by just to get by Just to get Just to by just get by to get just to by get by Just to get by just to get by Just to get by just to get by Just to get by We keep it gangsta stay 'foshizzle''fosheezy'To set the tide to the violence on the tv during the war Killing each other is easy there'swar and liquor for fallen niggaz Believe me it'sghetto love I bet you seen it all befo'Just to get by my people we get fly My people we get high filling cigars with the lah Ni**acome on even jesus was stoned before receivin'the throne I said to rest in peace to nina simone Back in the days we was used to doing the sh*tI can'tcall it all in the streets We was hustling fiends that asked for it I guess I was used to just standing on corners Waiting for paper bags with bundles of crack Hoping 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 having me smoking newports and w**dTo get To get by just by to get just to by get by just to get just to by get by just to get just to by Those be the get by times when I try to rely On my niggaz and street motherf**kersAnd reach out to wifey and then I place a call on my mother If you was five percent instead of acting stupid and guessin You had to go and study your lessons And know your math in the building recession to get by This morning I woke up Feeling brand new I jumped up Feeling my highs and my lows In my soul and my goals Just to stop smoking and stop drinking But I been thinking I got my reasons Just to get by just to get by Just to get by just to get Some people try And some people try just to get by For my piece of the pie You love to eat and be high We deceive and we lie And we keepin'it fly People beside Keeper of the skies Can'tsee your eyes See the evil inside The best people you find Stronger people in mind I stay readin'the signs Some people try Some people try just to get by For my piece of the pie You love to eat and be high We deceive and we lie And we keepin'it fly People beside Keeperof theskies Can'tsee your eyes See the evilinside Thebest people youfind Strongerpeople in mindI stay readin'the signs Guitar score
