"Gotta Maintain" lyrics

Uh

I was like, "Lord, why have You forsaken me?" (Why, Lord?)
All these niggas, all these bitches out here hatin' me (It's okay)
And I don't even know what I did (Know what I did)
Just tryna be daddy, I don't even know it's my kid (Daddy anyway)
That's why I be like, "These hoes ain't shit"
Once your bros start roachin' off you, your bros can't quit
Stood up for so many people, I'm like, "Ro can't sit"
But when I need help, why is help what Ro can't get? (I'ma be aight, though)
But I ain't trippin', it's that One Deep Entertainment shit (Ayy)
It's all on me, none of that pointin'-finger shit (Ayy)
They wanna see me fall (See me fall)
But these bitches don't have to see me ball, yeah (Ayy, ayy, uh)

I gotta maintain
They don't wanna see me shine
They gon' have to see me shine, that's 'cause I grind
I gotta maintain
Yeah, it's church in here this evening
And I'm so glad I'm breathin', it's my season
I gotta maintain
Give a fuck about you haters
I am all about my paper
I gotta maintain
Give a fuck about you haters
I am all about my paper

Oh yeah, they was laughin' at my clothes, I couldn't afford what they had
Now they can't afford what I got, they see me winnin', they mad
I was homeless while they were livin' with they mom and they dad
Now they would work for food, that's just the type of karma they had
Y'all know my story, it ain't no different from any my brothers and sisters that struggle
We deserve to be in that situation, that's if we don't get the fuck up and go hustle
I was just hungry, I was just lookin' for food, officer, not lookin' for trouble
Baby don't understand why I be like, "I'ma go to work, I ain't got no time to cuddle"
Hey, man, say, man, look, I'm terrified, I'm scared than a bitch
'Cause every dollar I got me, a person that's not me is tryna take half of my shit
Hell no, I didn't trust them niggas that was workin' for me because they were scared of jake
It be so many devils tryna give you fake, Heaven'll see the real and you better pray

I gotta maintain
They don't wanna see me shine
They gon' have to see me shine, that's 'cause I grind (That's 'cause I grind)
I gotta maintain
Yeah, it's church in here this evening (Church)
And I'm so glad I'm breathin', it's my season
I gotta maintain
Give a fuck about you haters (Yeah)
I am all about my paper (Yeah, yeah)
I gotta maintain
Give a fuck about you haters (Give a fuck)
I am all about my paper (Haha)
