Chorus: Mashonda (Mashonda *sped up*) {Styles in background}
I get by, by, by, by {Every day}
I get by, by, by, by {Every night}
I get by, by, by, by (By on your memory, by on your memory) {All the time}
I get by, by, by, by (By on your memory) {Every day}
I get by, by, by, by {Every night}
I get by, by, by, by {All I time}
I get by, by, by, by
I get by
[Verse 1]
I need the crib with the fountain to splash
S.P., the only flower that you know
With a bounce in a half
Listen kid, I need a mountain of cash, so I could roll up
Hop in the whip and like, bounce to the ave
I get
By cause I'm in the hood, the slums is around
Take my son just to ease the pain that humbled me now
And I'd rather slow somethin' up
Cause if I'm sober, dawg
I just might flip, grab my sons and hold somethin' up
I get, high as a kite
All alone
In the zone, Ghost float, case is dyin' tonight
So I hold 'em up, back to back, laugh if I could
You got beef with Styles P., I come to block in the hood
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I burn like a chi-mi-ney
Matter fact, I
Burn like exhaust on a Dodge Viper Hennessey
I hope like Bob Marley did
Add to that
That'll I float like the hippies did
Back in the seventies
Split with the finishing touch
Get this, that
I'm a finish you before I finish my lunch
I get
By like the birds and the planes, I get
By when I, make a lot of paper after words are exchanged
I get a rush, off the lump on the wall
You understand, like the
M-5 pedal, when it's touchin' the floor
I get
By cause I ride, what's better to do
And I'm a always stay live cause I'm better than you
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Can I flow til my lungs collapse
From the era
D-Block cause terror, gettin' funds from rap
Where a dollar bill is powerful
I hope a lot
Cause time seem precious, and I know
What a hour do
Get by for a livin', gots to ride for a livin'
With my real, Ruff Ryders that'll die for a livin'
Dawg, I get, by as I could, cause if you see things
Like I see things, I'm a die in the hood
Listen dawg, understand, it's Full Surface to you
And I don't smoke the Earth
If it ain't purple or blue
And you could name, any rapper, if you want, he could slide
This is S.P., dump it in you, kid, I get by
[Repeat Chorus]
[Mashonda] (Mashonda *sped up*) {Styles in background}
I get by, by, by, by {I am the Ghost}
I get by, by, by, by {Float with me}
I get by, by, by, by (By on your memory, by on your memory)
I get by, by, by, by (By on your memory)
I get by, by, by, by (By on your memory)
I get by, by, by, by (By on your memory, by on your memory)
I get by, by, by, by
I get by
