| [Russell Lee] Oooh-ooooooh, gots to do my thang
 Oh-ooooh
 
 [Trae]
 It's been a long time coming, but I finally made it
 Took the top off of the drop, then I finally sprayed it
 They never thought I would be paid, but look at me now
 I spit game, with a million dollar mouthpiece to lay it down
 The representer from Texas, and known to get fly
 They don't wanna see me crack a smile, cause my diamonds'll shine em down
 And I know you heard of us, when I be Slow Loud And Bangin'
 Corner to corner swanging all on the block, where the gangstas hanging
 I gotta keep on thugging, blocks I'm hugging
 Hatas I'm slugging, them boppers they getting no loving
 Chrome I'm dubbing, Perellis be gliding and Southern
 Lips be bumping, but they ain't gon never be loving
 And just to keep it real with you, they prolly wanna see me fall
 But I ain't and they can't stop me, so now they gon watch me ball
 And grind forever and ever, cause money gon be made
 And as long as I'm in this game, is as long as I'm getting paid
 
 [Hook]
 Maintaining, doing my thang
 Staying on my grind, trying to get my change
 See I gotta get mine, cause I can't get broke
 And that's all I know
 Maintaining, doing my thang
 Swanging in a slab, gripping on wood grain
 That's just the life that I chose
 Don't worry bout mine, nigga get your's
 
 [Trae]
 I be in a state in your face, gliding a S-L-A-B
 STS with nothing but T-I-N-T, reputation of a P-I-M-P
 These hoes be hating, but never the less on my jock
 Devastated by the knock I got, in a trunk with a fallen top
 I'm a playa, nominated for G of the Year
 With rocks in my ear, wood grain inside my hand when I steer
 Reminiscing back in the day, when I was broke
 But now I glide up the block, and turn heads till they neck look broke
 Lil' Trae the same cat, they use to laugh at
 Never thought that I would have to tell these hoes, to back back
 Life is a trip, but then again I was destined to shine
 24/7 everyday, I was motivated to grind
 For better thangs, addicted to getting change
 And now they be screaming my name, and saying I'm wrecking mayn
 A Maab type dude from the guerillas on top, and hogging the lane
 Dubs up to them hatas, watching me doing my thang
 
 [Hook]
 
 [Trae]
 The Most Valuable Playa, block bender Trae up in a slab
 If it's tinted I'm in it, tipping and turning banging the Ave.
 Picture me rolling a hundred miles per hour, to get away
 To a low key la casa, where no drama can get my way
 I'm in another zone, living it happy for a change
 And since I'm stacking my change, I guess I just can't complain
 I still remain to be the same cat, from day one
 Cool to the motherfucker, but shining bright like the sun
 A Guerilla legend, that's made of a Houston Texan
 Balling to the top, and keeping it real without a question it ain't no doubt
 In my mind, I grind mine and shine and shine mine
 And grind, and people losing they mind and that's how it be
 When you a G, I can't help it but to be playa
 My living is not a joke, I'm forever after my paper
 All I ever wanted was dough, and that's all I know
 From here on out until I go, I'ma get it and that's fa sho

 Maintain, doing my thang
 Ooooooh-ooooh
