Ice Cube – Trying To Maintain (Audio, Lyrics)

Ice Cube is here back with “Trying To Maintain”. Listen, watch the lyric video, stream, buy, mp3 download and read the lyrics to the song.

Ice Cube Trying To Maintain

He’s a rap legend who has built his empire through music, film, television, and production, and as many veterans have hung up their mics, Ice Cube isn’t quite finished. The rapper has been in the news in recent months over his “Contract With Black America” as he attempts to bridge the gap between the Black community and political leaders, and although he took some heat for speaking with the Trump administration, Cube took it in stride.

On the heels of the news that he’s soon to meet with President Joe Biden, Ice Cube returns with a new single, “Trying to Maintain.” The last time we received an album from Cube was 2018’s Everythang’s Corrupt, so hopefully, this new release is a hint at a project to come. While we cross our fingers and await news of a forthcoming full-length project, stream Ice Cube’s “Trying To Maintain” and let us know what you think.

Ice Cube – Trying To Maintain

Lyrics

[Chorus]
I’m just tryin’ to maintain
I’m just tryin’ to maintain

[Verse 1]
To everybody tryin’ to maintain
And keep they name out the main frame
Yeah, we all in the same gang
Yeah, we all with the bang, bang
Been a vet, nigga, broke the Internet
‘Cause they can’t fuck with my intellect
Yeah, nigga, all your followers
Follow every word like swallowers
Wanna catch it when I spit it
Fuck a critic and his analytics
I don’t fit in your formula
I only fit in your bitch, I’m warning ya
Please don’t feed the animals
When they got they face covered in pantie hoes
Niggas ain’t na-nice
Take your grandmomma chain and your lie

[Chorus]
‘Cause we all tryin’ to maintain
‘Cause we all tryin’ to maintain
I’m just tryin’ to maintain
I’m just tryin’ to maintain

[Verse 2]
To everybody tryin’ to maintain
With a little Mary Jane on the campaign
We buy you in the fast lane
Only act like this ’cause the black ain’t
Fuck your cancel culture, bitch
You can’t cancel a soldier, quit
See, I thought I told ya
Drunk or sober, tell you when it’s over
Slap the shit out a Troller
I kill shit like Ebola
I’m the son, I’m the solar
Your baby mind is in a stroller
Too much gang for the P brain
I have no alliance to no Greek names
Some of y’all down with the fucking royals
I’m only down for the fucking soil
That’s right

[Chorus]
And I’m just tryin’ to maintain
And I’m just tryin’ to maintain
With all doin’ insane (Crazy)
With all blowin’ out your brains

[Verse 3]
I just wanna maintain
Do what I do, let my nuts hang
They insane, never explain
‘Cause all we wanna do is them big thanks
Checkmate if you trick me
Out here lookin’ for that clickbait
You need to hustle on that computer
I’m a rooster always thinkin’ ’bout the future
And I’ma smoke it like a chimney
Sippin’ on Henny, sayin’ fuck 2020
Some of y’all ain’t worth a penny
I keep it one thousand and keep your doubt in
Pull up, my niggas pile in
Now I’m with the wolfs and we howling
Profilin’ and we stylin’
Sad motherfuckers, get your pile in

[Chorus]
If you’re just tryin’ to maintain
If you’re just tryin’ to maintain
I’m just tryin’ to maintain
Yo, I’m just tryin’ to maintain
I’m just tryin’ to maintain (I’m just tryin’ to maintain, I’m just tryin’ to maintain)
I’m just tryin’ to maintain
