Maintain Dizzy Wright (Ft. Joey Bada$$)

[Produced by: DJ Hoppa]

[Verse 1: Dizzy Wright]
Yo, call me a hard-workin' nigga
I shouldn't use nigga cause that's what was used against us
But still I abuse it and use it, look how they did us
A lot of shit's changed, but something's installed in us
We can't figure out, the Willie Lynch gave them the in and outs
Will 'em look who's doin' all the fuckin' killin' now
We got that after slavery, nothin' you can say to me
Attitude with Malcolm X speakin' and teachin' bravery
Violence is only needed when you feel defeated
And parents, pay attention, it ain't cool to raise a demon
That's on lockdown, got out, and now he actin' hostile
You threw away your opportunities, nigga that's a cop-out
Not now, we can argue later, all in favor
Raise your hands if you deserve another chance
Fan of a fan, we sharin' the same things
We see the bumps in the road, we smoke and we maintain

[Chorus: Dizzy Wright]
So I, play my position with persistence
Consistent with the flow, nigga we twistin' up the dro
In this life of sin, through the highs and lows
Trials and tribulations, you know how it go
I pray you niggas maintain
I pray you niggas maintain
Cause when shit gets all bad and you watch the game change
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to maintain
You gotta maintain
