Still Maintaining (Intro)

This just the life of a boy
He done grew into a man and life done took all his joy
I was craving for your love but I don't need it no more
Grandma house, fifteen deep, we was sleeping on floors
But I ain't sleeping on floors, i'm a man now
I put my heart into this shit no I can't stand down
I got a fully if a nigga ever ran down
And I can't give you love again, you had your chance now
I did this shit here on my own, ain't have no handouts
I can't go broke, I can't allow it
We in king size beds, we was sleeping on them pallets
It's a million chances out here, man you just got to go grab it
I be screaming god did, you'd think my name was DJ Khaled
I been through a lot of different shit I just don't talk about
Luh cous work the block like 9-5, no he ain't clocking out
Niggas be so quick to shoot a stick ain't tryna talk it out
I said fuck the streets and chased a bag, I took the paper route
I been doing a bunch a different shit since I be on my own
I was moving weight to pay bills, pray ma don't hear this song
I told Jahi that i'm riding with em, and that's right or wrong
Nigga claiming he want smoke, what it is, lets get it on
Remember opps walked us down, in the house we left the strap
Swear to God thought I was gon lose my life, i'm glad they ain't spent back
I pray to God, i'm glad they ain't put me on a pack
Since that day don't leave the house without it, i'm dying for I lack
Put my trust up in the wrong niggas, my dawg for years he broke the code
How you to claim to be my brother but we fell out about a hoe
Streets a dangerous game, still tryna figure out the cheat codes
All that talking on the net, i'm tryna figure out what you really know
I'm tired of this street life, I swear thats all we know
I come from a city where the kids don't even grow

And that's a shame
And we don't even know who to blame
This shit it ain't no game
We just tryna maintain
I said i'm still trying to maintain
I said i'm still trying to maintain
I said i'm still trying to maintain
I said i'm still trying to maintain
I said i'm still trying to maintain
