Maintaining My Peace

Bro, I think I'm gonna come back to London today still
I'm booking a flight right now
It's like 4 a.m. in Los Angeles, so I'll be leaving out like 6 p.m.
Soon as I get back, bro, man's going straight to the studio

Maintaining my peace
Ain't nothing for me in the streets
I had a G-lization
I've got so much to gain so I'ma eat
Larry told me, "Keep going"
Jay Worthy told me, "Stay P"
No roof, new keys
New situations, new scenes
I'm on a whole 'nother level
I was dancin' with the devil
Nearly turned me to a rebel
Surprising what they do for a shekel
It was dog eat dog
There's way too many sticks in the kennel
But I moved low key with the plays and thank God
I had to cut people off
I turn my numbers around like a bezel

(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace

Maintaining my sanity
Too long wasted on vanity
And I wasn't gonna be my own co-conspirator in a self-casualty
And it's another with their hand out
I can't give a man the right to be mad at me
It's only me that can challenge me
I'm in the echelon where I'm served canopies
I had a G-lization
My net worth's crazy, I'm leveraging daily
Strictly present where it pays me
Unless I'm giving out game, G
Respect is the foundation
My public relations came from the pavement
Authentic's a understatement
I really live this as modern entertainment

(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
(I am maintaining my peace)
I'm maintaining my peace
