Organized Konfusion - Maintain Lyrics
[prince poetry]Im sitting at the edge of my bed and Im fedUp with negative thoughts running straight through my headLifes ready and I cant make moves, its hardAnd I thought it would have been nice to buy papa dukes some shoesNiggas try to get over, pressure on my shouldersDropped the fat lp in 91 of octoberNow that Im older and my man pops is goneMy focus is stronger, mom pick up your head, gotta move onDo you remember mr. j used to say the beats was fatBut when it comes to business, nigga dont playI look beyond all this stress to seek fateMad homicides, unemployment rates sky highShorty busting caps, cops caught him out thereDaytime drama and his mama didnt careThats why I should be rapping and packing pistols on the bullyBut niggas be stressing me and I aint paid in fullySo Im dropping something fatter, not for propsWere respecting the matter, hopsIm fat, check my stats, prince drops data for me and my man popsRolls-royce and myself are always getting mad harassed by the copsSo now Im in the chop shop creating masterpiecesSo it dont matter money what my funny label releasesThanks to the streets and my peeps that made meAnd the la-la-lee, la-la-leeWe gotta maintain (repeat 8x)[pharoahe monch]Now its been saaaaaaaaaaid, a grown man aint supposed to crySo whyyyyyy, are there tears inside my eyes?I wake up in the morning, get some new problemI just cant solve emYo, extreme kid, Im telling you man, Im on the brink of ? ? ?Whos that man in the mirror? ha!The pictures getting clearer and clearer, ha!The end is coming nearer and nearer, ha!Take a good look at what you fear, ha!Time marches on and its a new songIts a new morning, its a new dawnFeet dont fail me now, I got to make it to the studio someway somehowBut I need a little bit of nourishment firstI stop at the store to quench my thirstWhy are they watching me buy my juice?Why must they clock my buy my juice?Just give me my change and please put my change in my handMan would you listen to me if I didnt have a tan?All you have to do is show some decencyBut you want to bring out the beast in mePapa always told me...be all you can beAnd maintain, gotta maintain(ad-libs to end)
