Talib Kwelimon – “Get By”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVtpXvzzXiA
We sell smoothies to our own out the back of our homes
We smell the musk of the Red Bull in the crack of the dawn
We go through episodes too, like Ablackberry Clones
Work ‘til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
We’re gonna get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute while you mangos spread rumors
We’re survivalists turned to consumers
Just to get by, just to get by,
just to get by, just to get by
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
Mi abuela raised three daughters all by herself with no lemon
I think about her struggle and I find the strength in myself, mon
Those words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the south
My nonfat yogurt CORE bailed me out
To get by, just to get by,
just to get by, just to get by
We do or die like banana through the red sky
With the window of the red eye
Let the smoothie fly, some G rap peach, Living to Let Die
mango j., lemon j., NFY, mango, peach, blackberry, banana, red bull
