Lyrics intentions - Maurii

Yeah, how do you still stay up when they ain't got your back?
How do you keep on going when you ain't getting no chance?
My mentality keep me flowing, I ain't getting no rest
Because I know before I die that I wanna be the best at everything
I put my hands on and I feel so motivated
I run right past the end zone
But I gotta keep going, keep going strong
If you was walking in my shoes, you would panic

I don't even know how sometimes I can manage
Even though sometimes I be feeling like a manic
I keep my prayers up to see how he gon' plan it
Cause anyway it could go, you don't see your plan
Just keep your faith and send prayers to the man up above
Just keep your energy to yourself, do not give them no hug
Cause you don't know if the intentions that they got for you good

You can listen to what they say, but take it with a grain of salt
It might just do you better in the end
Do not block out all conversation with a stranger
Cause sometimes they might just do you better than your friends

I see the true intentions in all of my friends though
They know I got love for them, treat them like my kinfolks
I hope they all be successful in life
And if they don't, I show them light in the night
Pain, peace, prosperity, They know that's what I'm about
My own head on my shoulders good
You can't scare me, I know what I'm about

They know that I be prayed up
I been on my pivot, they can't knock me down
They know that I'ma stay up
Like a new bridge, it's gon' take a lot to take me down
I got the best support beams in the world
They can never break me down
They know that I'm good on my own, I swear
And I got the real ones don't need your help

Yeah, how do you still stay up when they ain't got your back?
How do you keep on going when you ain't getting no chance?
My mentality keep me flowing, I ain't getting no rest
Because I know before I die that I wanna be the best at everything
I put my hands on and I feel so motivated
I run right past the end zone
But I gotta keep going, keep going strong
If you was walking in my shoes, you would panic

I don't even know how sometimes I can manage
Even though sometimes I be feeling like a manic
I keep my prayers up to see how he gon' plan it
Cause anyway it could go, you don't see your plan
Just keep your faith and send prayers to the man up above
Just keep your energy to yourself, do not give them no hug
Cause you don't know if the intentions that they got for you good
