Please Help Me Identify This Song, Which MIGHT Be By Kanye West
by Will
It goes something like “Just to get BY, just to get BY, just to get BY” or maybe it’s “just to get HIGH, just to get HIGH, just to get HIGH.” It rocks. It’s not some slower mid-tempo thing. I’ve heard it on Sirius here at work but have never done the necessary leg work (i.e. walking across the room) to get a song title and artist info. I would sing it for you, but this is just a writing blog and I have the vocal range of a rock.

Your Kanye idea was almost the right track – it appears to be Talib Kweli.

yes, dan is right
Kanye West PRODUCED it. Good instincts. It also contains one of the better George Lucas references in all of conscious hip hop:
“We sell crack to our own out the back of our homes/
we go through episodes, too, like Attack of the Clones”
