Maintainin'

(album: Porch - 2017)

Me and all my bros straight hanging (straight hangin')
Junkie's lurking 'cause the dope man keep slanging (stay slangin')
Fools twisting fingers, yeah them niggas gang banging (gang bangin')
Everybody doing something, we just out here maintaining (maintainin')
My nigga we just tryna' maintain (tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)
Keep it G and never change lanes
We just tryna' maintain (tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)
I hope you niggas on the same thing

Now let me take you back to when I had an '83 Impala
Just got paid so I gotta couple dolla's
Pulling up inside the cab, 'bout to grab a fit
Seen a nigga that I know, talked a lil' shit
Leaving out the mall, hit up Ah that's the bro-dy
Tryna' put something in the air, know he got the do-dy
Aquemini bumping number twelve Spottie Ottie
Pulled up to my nigga crib sipping on a forty
Smoked out the garage, tryna come up with a plan
On how to put some money in our motherfucking hands
Already copped the pounds, sold every last gram
Now right back where we started is exactly where we stand
We even hit a lick, but that shit ain't go as planned
Never touch crack, can't get caught serving yams
'Cause nigga I be damned if I see the chain gang
We just out here, we just out here tryna' maintain

Me and all my bros straight hanging (straight hangin')
Junkie's lurking 'cause the dope man keep slanging (stay slangin')
Fools twisting fingers, yeah them niggas gang banging (gang bangin')
Everybody doing something, we just out here maintaining (maintainin')
My nigga we just tryna' maintain (tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)
Keep it G and never change lanes
We just tryna' maintain (tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)
I hope you niggas on the same thing

Now I'm a little older with an '01 Impala
Ain't shit changed 'cause the motor still [?]
Niggas four deep straight hanging with the bros
Riding through the [?], looking for the hoes
We just getting high tryna' balance out the lows
Talking hella shit, even kicked a couple flows
Pulled up on a bitch, yeah that body looked right
Twelve got behind us, flashed the blue lights
Damn, Mr. Officer you're fucking up my buzz
Why'd you pull me over sir?
He said "just because"
Sat us on the curb and said "don't nobody run"
Searching through my car for the drugs and the guns
Found a lil' roach, took our ass straight to jail
Just another Saturday in the ATL
Moral of the story, don't be chasing after hoes
Better chase this money nigga, you know how it goes

Me and all my bros straight hanging (straight hangin')
Junkie's lurking 'cause the dope man keep slanging (stay slangin')
Fools twisting fingers, yeah them niggas gang banging (gang bangin')
Everybody doing something, we just out here maintaining (maintainin')
My nigga we just tryna' maintain (tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)
Keep it G and never change lanes
We just tryna' maintain (tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)
I hope you niggas on the same thing
