feat. Joey Bada$$ [Verse 1] Aye, yo – call me a hard workin' nigga I shouldn't use “nigga” ‘cause that's what was used against us But I still I abuse it and use it, look how they did us A lot of shit's changed, but some things installed in us We can't figure out – the Willie Lynch gave them the in-and-outs Will ‘em out, look who doin' all the fuckin' killin' now We got that after slavery, nothin' you can say to me Attitude, with Malcolm X speakin' and teachin' bravery Violence is only needed when you feel defeated And parents pay attention, it ain't cool to raise a demon That's on lockdown, got out, now he actin' hostile You threw away your opportunities, nigga that's a cop out Not now, we can argue later – all in favor Raise your hands if you deserve another chance Fan of a fan, we sharin' the same things We see the bumps in the road, we smoke and we maintain [Bridge: Dizzy] So I, play my position with persistence Consistent with the flow, nigga, we twistin' up the ‘dro In this life of sin, through the highs and lows Trials and tribulations, you know how it go Songtexte[Hook: Dizzy] I pray you niggas maintain I pray you niggas maintain ‘Cause when shit get all bad, and you watch the game change Fuck the bullshit, it's time to maintain You gotta maintain [Verse 2: Dizzy] Two hours early, rise and shine - no ride, catchin' the bus to be on time No time for excuses, it's your life, you can't be stuck on stupid I give ‘em the awkward nod like “I can't be without a job” Helpin' moms with the bombs, I mean the bills I mean, bombs is how they feel, but how I feel don't stop the deal See, when you go without a meal you stop takin' your plate for granted We was strong when we was weak, that's why I pray before I eat It's bittersweet when it's something you wanna keep And if that nigga don't wanna help, fuck it, do it by yourself But put in effort to better your situation If not for y'all then do it for the baby, the system crazy Where you got you a son or you a daughter Don't run away from your problems or your partner Maintain – I know it's gettin' hard, but it gets harder You gotta understand, that's the shit that makes you a man [Bridge: Dizzy] [Hook: Dizzy] [Verse 3: Joey] Gladly – do the snazzy on my nappy And the razor wit, education, niggas tried to clap me I ain't a killa, but for scrilla it gets nasty Pop up on the wrong night, get popped like mad acne It ain't no comin' home for you, homie It's funny, fuckin' with these rhymes over time'll turn you phony I see niggas makin' money, becomin' dealers Deal a pound of… then give the beats out ‘til he did her It gets more realer for real Niggas'll take your life and won't even get life for the steal And if you're grilled, your grill gets Formaned Blow out your fronts and leave it as a warning For informants I feel like the doorman Ain't kidding, can't take the heat?
