I'm a maintain

All about fortune

Not the fame

Feddy cold cash and a diamond ring

It's all about feddy when I rap sing

I'm sick of this struggling all damn day

Never see the sun 'cause skies stay gray

This for the little kids that can't go play

'Cause everybody outside playing with an AK

Come around my niggas you

Bust you f**k around get lost

Better not set trip

F**k around get tossed

I be a fool with that break them off

Lay it down little daddy straight take them off

Yeah I'm living a sin when against the grain

You don't know Z-Ro you don't know my pain

Tears be coming on down like rain

It's a full time job

Trying to maintain

Want to stay right but right be broke

A n***a can't eat with dreams and hopes

Steady be thinking of sell some dope

Or trying to get paid from songs I wrote

In it to win it don't plan to lose

Got to be a real n***a fill my shoes

Got to pay the rent

Got to pay the light bill

Got to pay the depend

Deposit and pay dues

Me and that H-A-W-K

Got to deal with stress when it come my way

But one of these days gone be out there

It's a b***h took a ball

Ball and parlay

Until we make it we mash together

Ooint seven by the nine we blast together

South sive for live

S.U.C. for life

n***a we get cash forever

Maintaining hustling struggling but

I got to survive

Keep maintaining

It's a burden up on my conscience

Just staying alive

Maintaining hustling struggling but

I got to survive

Keep maintaining

It's a burden up on my conscience

Just staying alive

I'm a real hustler stacking funds

Riding around with a loaded gun

Some of my niggas that's on the run

With all that weed up in your lungs

Get your paper

Get your dough

Buy it off the show room floor

Go about this process slow

And feel the pain of my n***a Z-Ro

Over money I lose sleep sell work f**k sheep

Spit heat on beats

To make my ends meet

Press hard on tablet sheets

Everything else is obsolete

Victim of these ghetto streets

You don't work you don't eat

I strive to gain fame

Struggle to maintain

Stay away from no names

And flip bricks of cocaine

This rap thang's been good to me

Feeds my family

Forever keep my sanity

And do this shit for P-A-T

Must keep a leather head

For all my partners let's make 'em spread

Me and my niggas we break bread

Until the whole family's fed

You heard what

I said in this over bull

All that I say I speak the truth

Maintaining hustling struggling but

I got to survive

Keep maintaining

It's a burden up on my conscience

Just staying alive

Maintaining hustling struggling but

I got to survive

Keep maintaining

It's a burden up on my conscience

Just staying alive

Looking at this little light of mine

Never did glimmer never did shine

'Cause I resort to a life of crime

And I know I'm wrong

But I got to get mine

Got to feed my mouth and five more

I grind every day but I stay broke

Responsibility baby

Taking a load off my little day

Steady be working her fingers to the bone

Aching and tired when she come home

'Bout to pull a stunt

Last of the month

Ain't no more work

Just riding on chrome

No rocks in my pocket the on my neck

One slip and I'm tripping one growing up thick

Give me a couple of zeros on a check

I might sweat

But never gone let up

Maintaining hustling struggling but

I got to survive

Keep maintaining

It's a burden up on my conscience

Just staying alive

Maintaining hustling struggling but

I got to survive

Keep maintaining

It's a burden up on my conscience

Just staying alive
