Leo - MainTain lyrics

Tryna maintain is a real bitch
Temptation all around me, it's too much
How long til the rocks fall, til I cave in
Til I'm crushed and I'm begging
For a couple bucks
At a cornerstore, stomach grumblin
Down on my luck, life troublin
Mind bubblin, addicted, talkin slick
Broken even though I need another fix
Another rabbit schemin tryna get the Trix
Imagine if the kids just shared though
Fuck that, whenever the crows come down ima
Morph to a scarecrow posted in a field
With the roses it is filled with
Granting me a steel grip on life's beauty
That's why I graduated cuz i gotta
Make it and I gotta
Change it for my lil sisters that are viewing
That I'm doing, what I'm supposed to
Though I make mistakes there's one
Thing I won't do
Fuck up my life with regrets that I didn't
Try hard enough and that's not how I live it
Not how I'm living, cuz I must get it
Promise my mom ima make her the richest
So I sit here while I write and think
I will attain, I must maintain

Oh, I must maintain oh, I must maintain
Must maintain oh, I must maintain
Oh, I must maintain

Tryna maintain is a real bitch
Temptation all around us, it's too much
From the TV screen to the street we see
We're surrounded and ain't nobody
There but us yet survive
Not getting by no sir not just getting by
I'd rather plot different ways ima get it by
Yeah I gotta take it further
But I must maintain
Feeling stuck in this traffic so
I gotta switch lanes
This game got me feeling like
I'm bout to collapse
But, I just keep running I
Don't plan to relapse
Be that type of dude that'd take
A break and breathe that
Dust in his face, yeah, trips in the race
Nah i will never trip, never stop
I must maintain

Oh, I must maintain oh, I must maintain
Must maintain oh, I must maintain
Oh, I must maintain
