talib kweli- “get by”
this morning, i woke up
feeling brand new and i jumped up
feeling my highs, and my lows
in my soul, and my goals
just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
and i’ve been thinkin - i’ve got my reasons
just to get by, just to get by
Blame the angels, blame the fates,
Blame the Jews or your sister Kate
Teach your children how to hate
and the big wheels turn around and around
Turn your back on weeds you’ve hoed
silly sinful seeds you’ve sowed
Add your straw to the camel’s load
Pray like hell when your world explodes
