Maintaining

Lyrics

Gotta watch out for them critters
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 I was born in Chicago, raised on Planet Rock
 Talking zsa zsa zsa zsa
 Catch knock my tape like beats, I'm fresh as fruits
 (Uh)
 You pussy MC, it's you I rebuke, repent
 You burn up, you got me bit, I'm coming as ebit
 Got on big hoes at Freak nit, frequently your telling me
 Won and worn your rockets
 So he ain't put no scratch in my pocket
 Yo heard, with my head I cock it
 And rock it like that brother in Colors
 'Cuz I want y'all to live, my crew is 2 Live, we sneakin' to the rear
 But I can't get us all in free, it's just another case of that 2 dollar MC
 (What?)
 I rock the same clothes 3 days straight to you
 They wrinkled but to my they straight
 Now I'm straight, are you straight? I'm straight as long as I got beer
 I thought about it Jack, and now I'm out of here
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, hey yo Chicago get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 I need me some new socks, I need me some new drawers
 I draws attention like a letter to a sargent
 Theres a few good MC's the wack, I'm giving code red
 Slim say I got nobody but when they see me at the party
 They be like, "Go 'head, go 'head"
 'Cause I got's the cuts like Bobby, rappers are dick heads
 Choppin' they demo, I do it like Big Red
 My office hours are from 9 to 5
 While you avoid the party I make it live
 The fellas nod and the chicks dance
 While I'm coolin' in my jumpers and my big pants
 I'm as dope as PCP, MC's see me and start having flashbacks
 I don't flash scratch, I gotta watch my back
 Now a days blacks don't know how to act
 Besides Larry Fishburn, Charles Jug and Wesley Snipes
 Marks wanna test me because I test the mics
 I check 'em like sound, and like loose I'm down
 Plus I done got better since soul by the pound, I maintain
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, hey yo Chicago get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, '87 get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 I fall fresh upon the spirit, with the lyric that's overwhelming
 And house more hoes then Spell man
 Worse unwelcome like James Johnston
 My brains sponsoring speech on the mic, I'm like a Jackson
 Rappers I'm fondling, they try to settle out of court
 But I, could never be bought, what type of rebel eats pork?
 I'll take the cat and never get caught, you wack together we fought
 'Cause I can't see my melons boxing if he's not boxin' with 'em
 I don't care who started it, I'm gonna be apart of it
 Regardless of the odds of how hard
 It's been many times we was outnumbered and we still got with them
 I got rhythm from some boogers and some foxes
 But if I becomes a 10 then some brothers all some gin
 And I got juice, and this nigga's scared
 I'll F your head up, like the L.A.
 For when I flow for cash I got for broke like Mel for Moore
 Why should a male with a B8 get more then me?
 When Rashid got an MC degree and a doctrine in rockin' shit
 I go to docs to get a fish wish with cheese
 I don't mix with MC's 'cause I just don't like the motherf-
 But I'm still maintaining
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, hey yo Chicago get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, '87 get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
 Maintain the rock
 I get the party live, Common Sense will get the party live, huh
 Don't stop the rock
