I'm just out here tryin to keep my balance... [Verse 1: Ben Al] Im tryin to keep my balance, and keep a level head But I know that I'm not in Kansas and n***as gone want me dead As soon as I show my talent, so I kick it wit criminals Till my candle light vigil and act like I am invincible And I, scale mountains just to keep my scale balanced Failed a couple cla**es but I never failed at sh** Just inhaled cactus, wrote some real a** sh** Better than 90 percent and workin on the last ten (Yea) But keep my inner 50/50 square Adapt to anything I'm cool to go anywhere Smoked wit real Bloods and Crips, Moms and Dads, Oakland Pimps Harvard Grads, Country Boys, Model Hoes, and Millionaires And balance the best of all worlds artfully Hand and hand in harmony cause good and bads apart of me But good and bads apart of you, but bein you is hard to do But not to me, so you rock with me cause you know I'm the truth I'm just out here tryin to keep my balance, sh**... [Verse 2 : Ben Al] Yea Tempted by the fortune but driven by the truth Admit that I'm seduced by impromptu trips on private jets And cruiselines, But I can't be you guys Who lie to man in the mirror and sell they spirit Spittin them inferior lyrics its obviously clear that I'm the man and I know yall don't wanna hear it But sh**, all I can give you is the truth All I can give you is me/make peace/and make moves Make peace with the fact that if you great they gone hate you They even k**ed Jesus over stuff they couldn't relate to And I ain't perfect, but I ain't worried And I gotta keep grindin I can't quit workin Plus legends never die, wise words from Babe Ruth I just grind and cash in paid dues for great news And walk the tightrope between the right and the wrong way Cause doors startin to open but its Hell in the hall way (Yeah...right and the wrong way..cause doors startin to open but its...) Walk the tightrope between the right and the wrong way Cause doors startin to open but it's Hell in the hallway...
