Devil In A New Dress

My Throwback Thursday song for the night is "Get By" by Talib Kweli. This has always been one of my favorite rap songs. Not just because it has a great sound, but the I love the message. For anyone who has struggled for anything, you can relate to this song. Kweli murders his lyrics and the result is an inspirational song.  " This morning, I woke up Feeling brand new, I jumped up Feeling my highs and my lows In my soul and my goals Just to stop smoking and stop drinking I've been thinking, I've got my reasons Just to get by, just to get by Just to get by, just to get by"

Sometimes I sit and wonder, If Romeo really loved Juliet Or if she still lived, would she be a capulet I wonder if Al Pacino never lived, Would we still have Scarface Or if drugs didn't exist, Would there still be a reason to shoot up the place? I wonder if Obama didn't win the election, Who would be the face of hope Or would Americans just find another way to cope If there was no economic crisis, what would the dilemma be Or would we resort back to the fight against poverty? I wonder if the bum at the corner begging for pocket change and pennies, Is gonna use his income for a bottle of henny I wonder if we still had laws of prohibition, Would alcoholic men still beat on helpless women Or would they find a way to continue their sippin, and all of their other deadly addictions? I wonder if MJ never died, Would people still rep him with a sense of pride Would Tupac still be rappin' if he never got shot Finding ways to kill wit...
