Hwalib Kweli - Get By!

Hwalib Kweli - Get By!

I used to write for fame, now I write to vent
I reinvent, if I pick up the mic I'll rhyme for rent
Or buy a tent, or hit the park and just find a bench
My job left me broke, she left me broke with an N
It's been three months, still feel her holding my hand
  To get by.. just to get by
  Just to get by, just to get by
Life feels like bigbrother re-runs
But I'll likely get by like newcomers to threesomes
I miss her so much I can't sleep (get by)
But when I dream, she is all I see (just to get by)
Better to have loved and lost than lost the Love
The Love with the Big L like real Hiphoppin songs
  To get by.. just to get by
  Just to get by, just to get by
Hid behind mistrust... filters and rizzlas
Virgin Mary - I don't miss you, I miss us
But my focus point towards the sky like my fist does
Not risking prison without reason when I'm pissed off
Though there's is no use in law unlike at bar mitzvas
  To get by.. just to get by
  Just to get by, just to get by
Like eskimoes you don't need many fans
Pride fuels arrogance in the average man
I've never been average man, throwing battle raps
Shush babylon, every snowball is a potential avalanche
I write to vent; You just have to find a way
  To get by.. just to get by
  Just to get by, just to get by
