Maintain Exile (Ft. Blu, Cashus King, Donel Smokes & Miguel)

[Intro: Blu]
Yeah...
Listen...

[Verse 1: Blu]
I'm trying to find a way up out of this; living at home
Trying to find out who my father is, sitting alone
Bumpin' Common Sense, blown
Not off the chronic, but off the knowledge in his dome
Still astonished, but I gotta move on
See, my mother thinks my problem is I really ain't accomplish shit
21 without a car, scarred, without a scholarship
And some days I don't eat, all I got is pocket lint
And I walk around with cold feet and I'm thinner than my wallet is
But she don't realize, her son is five times dominant
Than most niggas she's honorin'
But she don't see the prominence
Probably fuck around and change the world like Bob Marley did
My talent's apparent, but its fatherless –
So how she gon' acknowledge it?
I hate running away from my problems without solving it proper
I don't wanna be a doctor
I just wanna be the father that my father never bothered to be
My son ain't never have to follow the streets
His role model is me
