Masta ace incorporated maintain lyrics

Verse One: Masta Ase



I'm surrounded, by psychopathic, little fellas

Ghetto dwellas

With ammunition in their cellas

And no remorse in their hearts

When the shit starts it don't end

Until somebody's gone with the wind

And I'm tryin' to keep a level head so instead

Only nigga round my way without the gold teeth

And the gold chain, with the whole name on my neck

Jewelries your worse enemy without a tech

Not tryin' to see fatal injury, injury

What must I do to avoid the pain

It seems insane, but I gotta maintain

I can feel the pressure on my brain

But I gotta maintain



CHORUS:

Workin' hard may help ya maintain

Be able to maintain

Be able to maintain

Workin' hard may help ya maintain

Be able to, be able to

Be able to maintain

Workin' hard may help ya maintain

Be able to maintain

Be able to maintain

Workin' hard may help ya maintain

Be able to, be able to

Be able to maintain

Now that's comin' back around, and man it hurts

To see everbody gettin' on

But I got to wait cause of the things I done wrong

In my life, I regret it

But the man upstairs won't let me forget it

Everytime I think of doin' somethin' right

Here c
