[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Yeah, (Kweli) get by, I get back
Classic Brooklyn
Yeah, let's go, Kanye West
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
We sell crack to our own nigga
I'm back in the zone
My passionate poems got the feds tappin' my phone
It's like Timothy McVeigh, they say I acted 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)
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
Just to get by, nigga, I sold coke, nigga, I pushed lah
Carried a four-five, claimed I was rеady to die
Promised nevеr to cry, held it all inside
Reality was too much to take, so I
Kept my mind fried, slept for most of mine
Soon as I closed my eyes, then I woke up behind
Thinking either 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, I'm a poster from what happens seeing your moms
Doing five dollars worth of 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 (Yeah, yeah)
I'd rather pull a MAC on you (Ugh, yeah)
Sorry, Ms. Jackson, but I'm packin', bye!
Yeah, (Kweli) get by, I get back
Classic Brooklyn
Yeah, let's go, Kanye West
