Maintain

Too busy trying to maintain
Looking at the clock, no time to complain
I still learn but for sure I know one thing
Ain't no stopping me, or slowing me
It's only me

I do this out of love, putting life into verses
Giving it all I got, before they're burning my furnace
One of the ones who are preserving a purpose
Well gathering people together, something like church service
Things have a way of working in their own way
Certain things in our path, sometimes it's hard to explain
Some things I didn't see, I recognize at 28
Thank God he opened my eyes, my third one is on display
Always going through change, cause time never stops
It's more of a commodity with the amount we got
The money, it will come back. But the time, it will not
So I'd rather leave a memory, than a thing that I bought
With that said, I jot to leave a moment in time
Something easy on the ears, with peers on the same grind
When the doubt is hitting, one thing I keep in mind
Is the body comes and goes, but my soul I'll leave behind
That's the reason why I'm

Too busy trying to maintain
Looking at the clock, no time to complain
I still learn but for sure I know one thing
Ain't no stopping me, or slowing me
It's only me controlling me

Too busy trying to maintain
Looking at the clock, no time to complain
I still learn but for sure I know one thing
Ain't no stopping me, or slowing me
It's only me

Sometimes I feel I shouldn't sleep, I don't play to lose
Not many know my name but I appreciate the few
I read "when you're lazy, it's disrespect to
Those who believe in you." So I inspect moves
Something like a board game. Though, I don't do it for fame
I won't let the core change, even when I'm more grey
Sitting 28, looking thirty in the eyes
Life got more complicated, but I'm kind of not surprised
Still I stand, no disguise. Not bothering nobody
Nor barking up a tree. No beef, no salami
Assalamualaikum to the people who got me
I know a omebody's probably plotting, but for now it's not me
No, I don't want greed. Just working on my progress
Steady wins the race, so I'm putting in my own best
Thinking "What can I do to better my growth next?"
It really is a marathon, so I work on a slow breath
Cause I'm

Too busy trying to maintain
Looking at the clock, no time to complain
I still learn but for sure I know one thing
Ain't no stopping me, or slowing me
It's only me controlling me

Too busy trying to maintain
Looking at the clock, no time to complain
I still learn but for sure I know one thing
Ain't no stopping me, or slowing me
It's only me
