Yo I Wrote Dis To Dat Just To Get By Beat By Talib Kweli
~holla At Ya Boy~

Just To Get By I've Watch People Lose They Mind//
From Black Face To Rat Race They Move Wit Da Time//
On Da Come Up I've Watched People Sell They Soul//
But How U Know Wut U Sellin When U 12 Years Old//
In Deez Air Force Ones I Done Walked By A Couple Of Cars//
Full Of Lip Singers Who Wanna Be Stars//
Trapped On Deez Jack Frost Streets Under Da Stars//
But Fuck Seein Dem Da Skyline Is Covered In Smog//
Nevuary 32nd Is Ur Birthday
& Da Struggle Makes Da White In Ur Eyes Turn Gray//
Shits Crazy In Da Ghetto Da Fires Burn Wild//
I'm Trynna Get By Like Hoppin Da Turnstyle//
Like Sittin In A Stairway Steam Rollin A Blunt Up//
Or Package Free Lunch At Church In Da Summer//
U Know A Cold Bologna Sandwich & A Apple Juice//
Butter Crunch Cookies On Da Side No Lies Wuts Da Use//
I'm Trynna Get By Like D Plus Students//
Who Failed History But They Know Where Da Truth Is//
Something Like Welfare Recipients//
Health Care Benefits//
& Mack 10's Pointed At Da Innocent//
I Was Supposed To Been Stopped But I Got Too Much To Say//
Six-teen Bars Aint Enuff Runway//
I Demand Ears And Eyes//
Ladies & Gents My Name Is Yung And I'm Just Trynna Get By//
Fuck It, I Seen Too Much To Get It Confused
Guess Mom Should Have Named Me Sky Cuz All I Get Is Da Blues//
I'm Seen Strippers//
Who Strip Quicker//
Depending On Da Figure//
& Strippers//
Dat'll Strip Ya//
Wit Da Intentions Of A Stripper// (woooo)
I Demand Ears And Eyes//
Ladies & Gents My Name Is Yung And I'm Just Trynna Get By//
