Chali 2NA, Akil The MC, Laidlaw, Jack Spade - Maintain lyrics

Maintain my sanity
Want more humanity, uplift my family
Stay away from vanity maintain

Maintain maintain my sanity
Uplift family want more humanity
Stay away from vanity

Sober moments few an far between from it all
Me an self keep it balance so you
Know we never falling for that drama
Stay smoking that keesh show you peeps
Show them lessons run deep
Insomnia never sleeping, marijuana
Top dollar supreme, hit a karma
Keep it cool through the summer
One wish, praying my armor's untarnished
I wiz em with them skills that I harness
Gets out with the hell, one stab
Nigga, I promise
Honest shinin a Koran in my hand
Knowing deep down that's the only
Truth that can cure us
Indeed, to each his own
My speech from a different zone
Pledge my allegiance to the most high
Leave it alone
And gettin back to them lessons at hand
My man showed me how to flip it
Then flip it again
I hit the block, i mean the booth
Start spitting these grams
I'm tryna eat you to this knowledge
My ninja, get with the program

Maintain my sanity
Want more humanity, uplift my family
Stay away from vanity maintain

Maintain maintain my sanity
Uplift family want more humanity
Stay away from vanity

Never will I fall into that ugly clone sound
Or that gangsta boogie shit
That truly toned down
Stood above the whole crowd
With the buggy post out
Unapologetic, i'mma try to set it zoned out
With that evangelical, pre mandelic flow
Manphibian, transcendent with an angelic glow
Thee-aredical let that be a medical
Three hands present so that he
Can't let it go
He about to leave the premises soon
A visit from the vet
Calling the benefit, I'm tall as a minaret
And from the stage I got
Perspective like a bird's vision
Heard rhythm, precision, beats
But the words missing the words sifting
I'mma take you nerds fishing burn piffing
If you heard different Jack Spade
Your neighborhood baritone will never
Compare with clones
Step into my battle zone and
You'll get embarrassed homes

Maintain my sanity
Want more humanity, uplift my family
Stay away from vanity maintain

Maintain maintain my sanity
Uplift family want more humanity
Stay away from vanity

As I let my thoughts sink in
The fabric of the page
I've been trying to find light through
The labyrinth of a maze
Spent many cold nights really
Dealing with the pain
Cause this so-called life isn't
Really what it seems
My misfortune gave fuel for me to dream
In a world full of angels scarred
With broken wings
Prepare for the ending, pray
Get on your knees
If you looking for forgiveness ask
And you'll receive you see
I hold a tasteful advantage on
The base of the planet
In a race with the savages
It only takes time to depict every word
And my senses say you know
That's the way it is
You gotta thank God that you
Living in this world
Your position that ain't safe
For your unborn kids
This goes out to my family and friends
And the life that I live god forgive my sins

Maintain my sanity
Want more humanity, uplift my family
Stay away from vanity maintain

Maintain maintain my sanity
Uplift family want more humanity
Stay away from vanity
