Trying To Maintain - Ice Cube

I’m just tryin' to maintain

I’m just tryin' to maintain

To everybody tryin' to maintain

And keep they name out the main frame

Yeah, we all in the same game

Yeah, we all with the bang, bang

Been a vet, nigga, broke the Internet

'Cause they can’t fuck with my inner lag

Yeah, nigga, all your followers

Follow every word like swallowers

Wanna catch it when I spit it

Fuck a critic and it’s analytics

I don’t fit in your formula

I only fit in your bitch, I’m warning ya

Please don’t feed the animals

When they got they face covered in pantie hoes

Niggas ain’t na-nice

Take your grandmomma chain and your lie

'Cause we all tryin' to maintain

'Cause we all tryin' to maintain

I’m just tryin' to maintain

I’m just tryin' to maintain

To everybody tryin' to maintain

With a little Mary Jane on the campaign

We buy you in the fast lane

Only act like this 'cause the black ain’t

Fuck your cancel culture, bitch

You can’t cancel a soldier, quit

See, I thought I told ya

Drunk or sober, tell you when it’s over

Slap the shit out a Troller

I kill shit like Ebola

I’m the son, I’m the solar

Your baby mind is in a stroller

Too much gang for the P brain

I have no alliance to no Greek names

Some of y’all down with the fucking royals

I’m only down for the fucking soil

That’s right

And I’m just tryin' to maintain

And I’m just tryin' to maintain

With all doin' insane (Crazy)

With all blowin' out your brains

I just wanna maintain

Do what I do, let my nuts hang

They insane, never explain

'Cause all we wanna do is them big thanks

Checkmate if you trick me

Out here lookin' for that clickbait

You need to hustle on that computer

I’m a rooster always thinkin' 'bout the future

And I’ma smoke it like a chimney

Sippin' on Henny, sayin' fuck 2020

Some of y’all ain’t worth a penny

I keep it one thousand and keep your doubt in

Pull up, my niggas ball in

Now I’m with the woofs and we hall in

Profilin' and we stylin'

Sad motherfuckers, get your pile in

If you’re just tryin' to maintain

If you’re just tryin' to maintain

I’m just tryin' to maintain

Yo, I’m just tryin' to maintain

I’m just tryin' to maintain (I'm just tryin' to maintain, I’m just tryin' to

maintain)

I’m just tryin' to maintain
