Lyrics 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 gang
Yeah, we all with the bang, bang
Been a vet, nigga, broke the Internet
'Cause they can't fuck with my intellect
Yeah, nigga, all your followers
Follow every word like swallowers

Wanna catch it when I spit it
Fuck a critic and his 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
Without doin' insane (crazy)
Without 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 pile in
Now I'm with the wolves and we howling
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
