Mazon...

Nosebleeds...

Burg City...

[Verse 1]

I'm on the road less traveled nigga

Before you think bout judging me, better bring your gavel with ya

Study my bars like an exam, my man

I cut the people out who couldn't understand my plan

Came to Philly, no hesitation, plotting my detonation

While enemies sent a nation to weaken my dedication

But, I'm one of the strongest, get greater every performance

Plus I could never stop, I got my city on my conscience

They be begging us to go hard, OG ? and Omar

And everybody else, just know that support helps

I'm from the Keystone State, my city live by them shelfs

So every time I pound the pavement, I'm thinking I gotta help

What would you do for your hood?

You don't give back, you no good

I'm talking numbers like Shady

Gotta look out for the babies

I give a damn play me, but I remember you well

Cause heaven know I'm capable of bringing my enemies hell

And I know...

[Hook]

Life make me, never break me

I been grinding, let's see how long it gon' take me

I'm living it like a marathon, never race G

When people ask me why ?

I say I been

Maintaining (Maintaining) (x4)

Yea I been

Maintaining (Maintaining) (x2)

I leave my heart out on the stage

Tell the fam we on our way, hey

[Verse 2]

Stomach humongous, no one know my hunger

If you ain't following your dreams, then you can only wonder

This for my mother, my brothers, all the years that we struggled

And all my niggas that think their only option is hustle

We hustle harder than alley's from Vince Carter

On fast breaks at the Garden, the last chase of a martyr

I know I flow like the Delaware River, no damn

Gotta go get it broham, don't step out here with no plan

I used to think I'd get signed, soon as someone heard my rhymes

But that was like '99, 2001 became blind

So So Def wanted a demo, we didn't send it in time

Oddly enough, my rap partner became my partner in crime

Using the mask and a vector knife

Two weeks later he got bagged, what a hectic life

Pick up my pen and write my cousin, cause he doing ten

Now will I ever see him again, well it all depends

Long as he comprehend

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Grandma know that I got skill, she know that I'm real

But only thing she worried bout, how I'm paying these bills

Had to get my paws a little dirty, that's keeping it trill

If I didn't, would I be living?

People judge with the quickness

Then disappear like a witness

From the scene of the crime

Murder you for your shine

But I just kill em with kindness

Steady like an assignment

Waking, baking trying to avoid ? like an Islamic

Somehow they always find us, lock us up in our conscious

Like a mo'fucking secret, ? who believe this

Earth my Lord, they done took me from the motherland

I was probly destined to be king, there ain't no other plan

That would have suited me

So soon as I get this money, I'm gonna ? on it beautifully

I'm passionate, you will see

And I represent for my city, the Nosebleeds is my committee

If you ever in the Burg, don't be scared, nigga come and get me

Who fucking with me?

[Hook]
