Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Gm][D][Gm]

[Verse 1]
I'm just tryin' [Gm]to maintain
I'm just tryin' [G]to maintain
[Gm]

[Verse 2]
To everybody tryin'
to maintain
And keep they name out the main frame
Yeah, we all in the same game
Yeah, we all with the bang, bang
[F#]Been a vet, [Gm]nigg[F#]a, broke the I[Gm]nternet
[F#]'Cause they can't fuck
with my intellect
Yeah, nigga, all y'all [Gm]follower[G]s
Follow [F#]every word like swallower[G]s
Wanna catch it when I [Gm]spit it
Fuck a critic and his analytics
I don't [G]fit in your [Gm]formula
I only fit in your bitch, I'm warning ya
Please [G]don't feed [Gm]the animals
When they got they face covered
in pantyhose
Niggas ain't nothin' nice
Take your grandmama chain
and your bike
[G][F#][G]

[Verse 3]
[F#]'Cause we all tryin'
[G]to maintain[F#][G]
[F#]'Cause we all tryin' to maintain
[G]I'm[Gm] just tryin' to maintain
[G]I'm just tryin' to maintain
[Gm]

[Verse 4]
To everybody tryin' to maintain
[D]With a little Mary Jan[Gm]e
on the campaign
Whip by you in the [D]fast lane
Only act like [Gm]this 'cause of black [F#]pain
Fuck your cancel cul[D]ture, [F#]bitch
You can't cancel a soldier, trick
See, I thought [Gm]I told ya
[F#]Drunk or sober, tell you when it's [G]over
Slap the shit [Gm]out a troller
I kill shit [G]like Ebola
I'm the sun, I'm [Gm]the solar
Your baby mind is in a stroller
[G]Too much gang for the pea[Gm] 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
[F#]soil[Gm]
That's [D]right[Gm]

[Verse 5]
And I'm just tryin' [F#]to maintain
[G][F#][G]
[F#]And I'm just tryin'
[G]to maintain[Gm]
Without goin' insane (crazy)
Without blowin' out your brains
I [D]just wanna [Gm]maintain

[Verse 6]
Do what I do, let my nuts hang
They insane, never explain
'Cause all we wanna do is them big things
[G]Checkmate if you tri[Gm]ck mate
Out here lookin' for that clickbait
You need to [G]hustle on [Gm]that computer
I'm a rooster always
thinkin' 'bout the future
[G]And I'ma smoke it like a chi[Gm]mney
Sippin' on Henny, sayin' fuck 2020
Some of y'all [G]ain't worth a [Gm]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 howlin'
[G]Profilin' and we stylin'
[Gm]Sad motherfuckers, get your violin

[Verse 7]
If you're just tryin' to maintain
If you're just tryin' to [G]maintain
[Gm][G][Gm]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Gm]
[G][Gm][F#][Gm][G][Gm]
[F#][G][Gm][G]
[Gm](I'm just tryin' to

[Verse 8]
[Gm]maintain)
Yo, I'm just tryin' to maintain
I'm just tryin' [G]to maintain
(I'm just tryin' to maintain,
[Gm]I'm just tryin' to maintain)
I'm just tryin' to maintain
