Flawlessly up again
Different days same life

Husteling on the house
Let these bitch come

MAINO – Unstoppable

[Hook:]
Where I came from, I ain’t supposed to be here
No, but they can’t hold me down
I can do it all, now the world is so clear
Ohhh ain’t no stopping me now
Got my eyes all on my destiny
Came out the door and now witnessed the best of me
I’m going hard ’till there’s nothing left to me
‘Cause I’m unstoppable
(Yeah!)
I’m unstoppable
(I’ll do good mane)
I’m unstoppable
(I’ll think of something else)
I’m unstoppable
(After a while baby)
I’m unstoppable
(They can’t stop me)
I’m unstoppable

[Verse 1:]
I believe, yes I, I do believe
Anything I put my mind on I promise to achieve
I put, God help me please get me closer to my dreams
I got all the courage that I need to succeed
They said I wasn’t good (no!) and that my writting wasn’t lyrical (no!)
They said I wouldn’t make it said my action was too criminal (what?)
But now they gotta swallow they’re words, I’m unmovable
The picture’s clearer ’cause now you’re staring at a miracle (yeah!)
But they didn’t knew that I would die before I give up
That I’m a fighter, you knock me down, I’m a get up
Giving it my all, ’till I’m gone, no more left
From a freak train I’m coaliting doors to success
Yess!

[Hook:]
Where I came from, I ain’t supposed to be here
No, but they can’t hold me down
I can do it all, now the world is so clear
Ohhh ain’t no stopping me now
Got my eyes all on my destiny
Came out the door and now witnessed the best of me
I’m going hard ’till there’s nothing left to me
‘Cause I’m unstoppable
(Yeah!)
I’m unstoppable
(Aha!)
I’m unstoppable
(So unstoppable)
I’m unstoppable
(The definition)
I’m unstoppable
(This is me)
I’m unstoppable

[Verse 2:]
Strong and confident (confident) lying hard in this (yeah!)
From the depths of hell look at my accomplishments
I got fists too but I just never give it to ‘em (no!)
I hear these haters talking I just never listen to ‘em (no!)
I’m unstoppable, fuck it, I convinced myself
So invincible, I was made of something else
It’s not a bridge I can’t cross, not a road I can’t walk (no!)
Not a cell that can hold me (no!), I ain’t lost (no!)
Never looking down, always keep my head up at the sky
Baby listen to me you can only fail if you don’t try
I’m a champion, spirit of a winner, I’m a rise (yeah!)
I can probably do anything I put that in my mind

[Hook:]
Where I came from, I ain’t supposed to be here
No, but they can’t hold me down
I can do it all, now the world is so clear
Ohhh ain’t no stopping me now
Got my eyes all on my destiny
Came out the door and now witnessed the best of me
I’m going hard ’till there’s nothing left to me
‘Cause I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
(Yeah!)
I’m unstoppable
(It’s talking to me mane)
I’m unstoppable
(This is who I am)

[Verse 3:]
Look at how I feel
Like I’m the man of steel
I’m a call what I would break still
Rolling down the hill
Unstopable
Still going, failure’s never optional
Never back down baby (no!) anything it’s possible
Never given up, never fold, never break
Never bow down, still shine on my darkest day
I believe in myself even if you don’t agree
I’m living proof that anything can happen if you dream

[Hook:]
Where I came from, I ain’t supposed to be here
No, but they can’t hold me down
I can do it all, now the world is so clear
Ohhh ain’t no stopping me now
Got my eyes all on my destiny
Came out the door and now witnessed the best of me
I’m going hard ’till there’s nothing left to me
‘Cause I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable
I’m unstoppable

MAINO – Soldier

[Chorus]
I see so many soldiers, falling down.
So I stand on my feet, I won’t ever quit, I won’t touch the ground
So many soldiers, falling down (falling down, down)
I can hear them calling out for me, but I just can’t turn back.
I gotta keep movin’ on

[Verse 1:]
Yea [5x], My heart is made of stone and my body’s numb
Feelin’ like I’m empty all my feelin’s gone
The friends I used to have is now the ones that’s gone
Circumstances in the street left me all alone
Wasn’t feelin’ much, at times I felt like givin’ up
Then a voice inside my head told me to live it up, to the limit yes
Live it like it’s limitless,
Keep on movin’ like my friends was still here livin’ this.
Can’t believe I went to all my nigga’s funerals
So I keep on ballin’ like my dogs would want me too
Never forgotten, boy our liquor glasses in the air
Keep on livin’, screamin’, “One day I’ma meet you there!”

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
‘I gotta turn it up on this one Jimmy’
Keep on movin’, keep on pushin’, hopin’ that the Lord don’ heard me
I just got a couple questions:
Why my homeboys left so early?
Why you never took me wit ‘em?
Why you left me here to miss ‘em?
Why you let my cousin kill hisself and left me here to feel it?
Lift my spirits, lift my spirits, this all real this not just lyrics
Drink my pain with vodka and pineapple juice in a cup and stir it
Pop a bottle, guess I’m ballin’
Catch me God I feel I’m fallin’
I can hear my loved ones callin’
Been wide up since 5 in the mornin’
Keep on goin’, keep on goin’, feelin’ like the Worlds been closin’
I stare at the stars and hope that all my friends could see me blowin’
This is for my fallin’ soldiers, I can feel you on my shoulders
There’s a piece of me that died with you, if you ever noticed

[Maino Spoken:]
I am who I am
I am who I am
I am who I am
Yeah, I can feel it!

[Chorus]

MAINO – Shine

[Hook]
I shine, you shine

[Verse 1]
Float in that wide-body roadster
Top down, feel like the sky closer
Never fix, you know my life addictive
Might already wake up in the arms of a vixen
Started with a dream and a half-ounce
Somehow I end up in a party up in Puff house
How you want it? My kicks is nine hundred
All I see is Ghosts and Phantoms, my life haunted
Raindrops falling, dancing on my Bentley
Feel like the angels crying, Lord help me
Living for the moment, fuck the cost dancer
Throwing singles out, focus on the dancer
Made it out of Brooklyn but my heart in Brooklyn
Black bandanna, yeah, this one for Brooklyn
So fuck a record deal, nigga, my record real
Black Smith and Wesson, holding on my Tec and steel

[Hook]

[Hook 2]
This is how we do
This is how we do everything all day
This is how we do
This is how we do everything all night

[Verse 2]
Champagne stains on my Benz seats
Got my own set of keys, Swizz Beatz
Pretty women penetrated over silk sheets
Violators gets smacked in they front seat
Don’t sleep cause you know what I’m about, huh
How I fuck celebrities, then rap about them
No conscience, cars with real dark tints
Prayed for my life and never bothered
Fuck when it’s over, see you for like a million
Rocks that gold, my diamonds light up a building
This is how I do, Mac 11 in a Range Ro’
If I really changed, it’s the fame you should blame fo’
So this is for my dogs in them dark things
Fantasizing ’bout Nicki in her g-string
Never losing, winning is a state of mind
Just remember, if I shine, you shine

[Hook]

[Hook 2]

[Verse 3]
I shine, you shine
In this day and time, to maintains, stayed on our grind
Dedication, put in work
Let the Dom circulate
Split it with family, call it reparations
And still move bricks on consignment
Set a nigga straight just like wheel alignments
Cause it don’t die when you dap and relocate
Watch re-enactments on 1st 48
It’s like, ‘I don’t know, Your Honor’
I plead the Fifth, death before dishonor
It’s like the game all twisted
We in it for the long run, we going the distance
Plus bucks in my pockets never slowed up
Got shooters that salute when I show up
Aim good plus the dream’s still thorough
Ay yo Main, this one for the borough

[Hook]

[Hook 2]

MAINO – Rumors

Ha ha, check it out right
Niggaz be talkin and shit
I’ve been hearin a lot of shit nigga, you know what I’m sayin?
This nigga said somethin about this nigga

Tell’em what you heard, I’m just takin it all in
I’m just sayin what I heard nigga

[Verse:]
Listen, I heard Suge smacked Game
I ain’t say I seen Suge smack Game
I said my man told me Suge smacked Game, down in Miami
I just came back from down in Miami
I don’t like no fake niggaz standin around me
Buck said Cam’ron fucked around and got robbed in Cali
But I heard it wasn’t true, I ain’t gonna spread that around dude
But the news said [?] Zeek snitched on you
They say Puff is the reason why Shine in a box
If I was him I’d come home and put Puff in a box
Heard DMX puff a lot
They say when the boy roll up his blunts he like to stuff in the rocks
Don’t ask me I don’t know if it’s wrong or right love
Heard Foxy got her ass whooped in a night club
Don’t blame me nigga I ain’t make this stuff up
If half of it is true than I guess that’s fucked up

[Chorus: x2]
He said she said
Nigga I heard the same shit you heard cause Rumors spread
These industry niggaz is worse than bitches
They all run they mouths, some get vicious

[Verse:]
Listen, I can’t belive niggaz fightin over bitches anyway
I heard Carmelo stole my man Suger Jay
The industry sayin Mase leavin the game
My bitch from Jersey told me that Jaheim was gay
He ain’t the only one that don’t like pussy
I was in jail when I heard Trina do like pussy
Heard Gloria Malez like to sling her pussy
Got on a DVD and said Buddens ate her pussy (Damn!)
Niggaz talk but they don’t really live
Got this Gorilla nigga tryin to sound like Big
The other day a nigga came through the hood with juice kid
Showed me two chains that belong to Woo-Kid
Let me tell you what I heard through the grapevine
The streets is sayin that Brooklyn is all mine
I heard these niggaz is scared of me
They said the industry ain’t pepared for me

[Chrous x2]

[Verse:]
Listen, I was readin the daily news
When they said they had flicks with Lloyd Banks havin sex with a hairy dude
In the hood they say [?] is a scary dude
He from Marcy but he don’t even come through
I heard Kalise head game is the bomb
She was Pharrell’s bitch before she got with Nas
Some rappers don’t play with they broads
Cause I heard Mack 10 ain’t got a problem beatin on T-Boz
Look y’all it’s what I heard I don’t know if it’s all fact
I’m just tryin to bring New York back
This is New York rap, now who want that
The whole industry’s fake I know you heard that

[Chorus x2]

[Outro: Talking]
Ha ha, all these niggaz is pussies anyway
Talkin and runnin they mouths and all that

MAINO – Never Gon’ Stop

Yeah, feel me
Ye yeah uh
Yeah… yeah… yeah

[Chorus]
I guess this what they call fame
I gotta stand tall came from the gutta [?]
I ain’t never gon stop now
No, I ain’t never gon stop now
Yeah
I’m a victim of the game
And only God knows that I’m tryna maintain
But I’m never gon stop now
No I’m never gon stop now
And it’s crazy but I’m still tryna win

[Verse 1]
Your trap is a success, the money the stress
The ups the downs, the jewelry on my neck
The hate, the love, the tattoos on my flash
The club, the drug, the liquor on my breath
Got haters at my shows, the groupies in my room
I hate to be with lames, I’m comfortable with goons
Tryna be the greatest, but still I feel regretful
People say I made it, but how am my successful
My friends is in a grave, my homies in the feds
You could feel my pain and he still can’t feel his legs
The critics say I flop but my single sold a million
My baby mama flippin say this game made me different
Tell me am I trippin’, too much Goose sippin’
Wakin up in tellies, too many different women
Look at how I’m living
The parties the drinking
I’m high, I’m low, oh no I’m sinking

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
The cars, the clothes, the friends, the foes
My blood, my sweat, my tears, my soul
The truth, the lies, the songs,
The rhymes, I’m happy, I’m sad, what happend, my life
I’m caught up in this world
I feel me fallin deeper, ain’t see my son in weeks
Ain’t see my family neither
I think I’m loosing paitnece, ’cause people say I’m changing
My enemies is plotin, they can’t believe I’m famous
Am I really winnin, ’cause I can take a loses
Another girl is pregnant, that’s one more abortion
Catch me ’cause I’m fallin, I hear fame callin
But tell me why I’m feelin’ like my lifes in the toilet
Tell me who to trust, I don’t know who’s with me
I don’t know if it’s a fan or that man is tryna kill me
Thinking to myself it was easier before I made it
Got in the game, and it all got complicated

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
The joy, the pain, the hood, the game
The stage, the lights, they yelling my name
Tryna bear these cold nights, I don’t understand like
God bless my cousin please, why he take his own life
Why I’m feeling like, it was simpler when we was poor
Maybe I’m a alcoholic, lately I’ve been drinking more
Lately I’ve been feeling stressed, what has gotten into me
Damn what a life, this gone be the death of me

[Chorus]

MAINO feat. Mista Raja – Need A Way Out

I’m riding through the city with my top back, top back
I got my thing ready, cut back
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out

On my knees praying for a better way
Waiting on a miracle we need a change
Alcoholic sleep I got stomach pains
I’m hungry and my father ain’t been home in days
When it’s quiet, I can hear my mama crying
In the sound of her voice that she tired of trying
No [?] food stamps and a [?] stool
The same thing for breakfast is for dinner too
No hope like I’m doing [?] I get a chance
14 and they forcing me to be a man
What I’m supposed to do, tell me what my options is
To turn to the streets, I never wanted this
Drop school, playing crimes turn to robberies
Cocaine turn to crack next turn to g’s
I’m on a block killing with 100 packs
Feels like I’m trapped, I need a way out

I’m riding through the city with my top back, top back
I got my thing ready, cut back
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out

So now I’m in the cell in my state greens
Fast life, caught up to me viciously
Trying to stand strong but I wanna scream
Cause all I got is letters in my memories
[?] 15 years in the hole, I’m only just 17 years old
I try to close my eyes I see nightmares
Hearing grown men yelling on the top tier
Feeling like my whole life wasted
My life can’t grow behind these cages
Trying to keep hope but I’m loosing it
How the fuck am I supposed to live with [?] tuna fish
Tell me how long can a man ignore
God let them have mercy when I see the board
Cause this is time that I’m never getting back
I want another chance, I need a way out

I’m riding through the city with my top back, top back
I got my thing ready, cut back
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out

I’m laying in the bed and my brush sweet
Staring at the ceiling I can’t sleep
2 different women laying next to me
Thinking, is this what it’s supposed to be?
Looking in the mirror, I’m a rapper now
Wow, what was supposed to happen now
I thought success brought happiness
So tell me why the fuck I ain’t happy yet
Got a lot of [?] I turn my life around
I came up but I think my soul is down
I made them bless to receive the love,
But I think I lost track of what my mission was
Too busy in the club popping champagne
Almost I forgot about my mama’s pain
Knowing that I’m blessed, thank God for that
But I still feel trapped, I need a way out

I’m riding through the city with my top back, top back
I got my thing ready, cut back
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out
Life’s a gamble, I gotta bet, stop that
Well it’s your time you can’t turn the clock back, I need a way out
I just need a way out, I just need a way out.

MAINO – My Life

I’m trapped, feel like I’m trapped
I’m trapped, feel like I’m trapped
I’m trapped…

Why don’t you love me? Why do you hate me?
Why don’t you trust me? Whose gonna save me?
Look in my eyes, this is my life, this is my life, this my life

How can you blame me, for tryna’ be wealthy
I came up starving, it wasn’t healthy
Daddy was to high, he couldn’t help me
My mama had told me that this life was scary
Stuck in this jail see, feels like it’s hell b
No one to call, ain’t no money to bail me
Come on and feel me
And take a look in my eyes and try to understand my life, my life

I’m so thirsty, till they murk me
Fuck the world mommy, it don’t deserve me
Feel like you cursin’ me, lord try to work with me
My enemies creepin’, and they plottin’ to murder me
Somebody pray for me, it ain’t okay homie
I’m at the window with the I’ll AK homie
All I can say homie
Is take a look in my eyes cause you could never live my life, my life

Feels like I’m strapped down, the worlds deceiving me
Daddy I rap now but who gon’ believe in me
I got crack vials, send those fiends to me
Niggas is rats now, they called the d’s on me
I can’t back down, so toss the sheet on me
Bring your gat now, if you gon’ bleed for me
Watch what you bring to me
And take a look in my eyes, cause niggas tryna’ take my life, my life

Where did I go wrong
Tell me what’s worse, the feds or my son moms
Baby the loves gone, maybe her hearts torn
Or maybe it’s just all the pressure I build on
Lord I’m dead wrong, been locked for too long
It’s hard to remain calm, guns in both palms
And if you not strong
Take a look in my eyes, and see if you can learn from my life, my life

Come take a ride with me, a day in the life with me
Pick up my son, and look in his eyes with me
Come through the Stuy with me
See how they eyein’ me
Look how I grew up, without a father see
I’ll tell you what bothers me, society blindin’ me
They said I can be whatever I tried to be
But they lied to me
So take a look in my eyes and tell me what’s wrong with my life, my life

My whole life exposed, so my eyes is closed
Mommy it’s too late, this is the life I chose
Nigga it’s fuck parole, I’m a sell drugs some more
Life is a highway, I’m swerving of the road
Which ever way it goes, ready to lock and load
What I believe in, is what I’m a bleed for
And if you need some more
Take a look in in my eyes, and see if you relate to my life, my life

MAINO – Messiah

Cause when I look around, I see a circus like Wrigley Brothers [?] ground
Too many characters, the game is like a tv show
I can’t believe I see rappers wearing women clothes
Now where my city at? We hanging off the map
Too many lames screaming they gonn’ bring my city back

The whole game is now in question, what’s the answer though?
You seeking all the dumb shit while I’m the antidote
This is honesty, I was taught to speak my mind
Go ahead and try I’m the truest nigga you gonna find
Voice of the hood, I speak for the streets
The young single mothers who gave birth to g’s
This is it, this is exactly what the doctor ordered

I’m a miracle, I said it and they never cord it
They won’t believe till I show them I can walk on water
I’m the difference, I’m the chosen, baby I’m the one

I stepped up when nobody else would represent
The underdog, they ain’t seeing what I got in stored
They said the game is [?] dope, all I got is wrong
M the difference, I’m the chosen, baby I’m the one
I know you been waiting for me and I finally come

I know, I know, that you’re tired
Yeah you feeling so uninspired
You been searching for long, now I finally come
Here I am, I’m your Messiah,
Oho, oho, oho, oho,
Oho, oho, oho, oho,
Oho, oho, oho, oho, oho [x2]

Bow our heads, say our grace, make it out the hood was Amazing Grace
Forty on the lap just to play it safe, roll your lights with the plain face
Tell me how the life with the fam taste? Tell me slow down ’cause it ain’t a race
Bought two cars on the same day, fuck two broads on the same night
Fucked your broad ’cause my game tight, sit ringside at the main fight

We got dough, we make bread, they reachin out like they ain’t fair
The way these white guys dance around, you would have thought they ain’t dead
But now we ain’t for trainin they flyin out, they got these ladies tryin to scout
Like it’s playoff time, and in our time, left on the clock with a tied score
I’m Van Chancellor, approachin to her, with some alcohol and some slow music
And to think it all started with a smile and a wink and of course we inside drink

MAINO – Heart Stop

Winners got a price to pay, if you wanna reach the top
Pushing hard night and day, you’ll be running till your heart stops
How you gonna feel love in, when you race against the clock
Life ain’t gonna come again, but you’ll be running till your heart stops

Look, nobody told me winning hurts,
It’s the price you pay, guess that’s why I’m feeling worse
Thought I gained the world but really lost everything
Trying to chase my dream had to sacrifice everything
Trying to beat time, missing time, out my son’s life
Trying to make up for by buying things that my son likes
It was just a dream for me to be on tv now I’m here
I ain’t got no time, my mama barely sees me
My priorities is getting twisted now my world is different
It’s been fading day this distant, or
Is it true that I’m really just addicted
To that life, to that life, to the parties and the women
I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I just wanted them to listen
I just wanted to go up, wanted fame and the riches
Now I can’t slow it down, still going non stop
I’m afraid to loose, still running till my heart stops

Whoa, winners got a price to pay, if you wanna reach the top
Pushing hard night and day, you’ll be running till your heart stops
How you gonna feel love in, when you race against the clock
Life ain’t gonna come again, but you’ll be running till your heart stops

Picture self inside the shoes that my feet are in
And see exactly what it takes it takes in life just for you to win
Yeah I’m hustling selfish yeah I must have been
Guess this why I’m lonely, my relationships are suffering
I can have no girl when I’m trying to gain the world
When all she want is time and I ain’t giving her my all
What am I supposed to do when friends say I’ve changed
And my living is so different, my surroundings ain’t the same
I’m trying to make up times for that lost time
Try to make it to the top but really loosing more time
Loosing what I used to be, I ain’t who I used to be
Staring in the mirror, get acquainted with the newer me
I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place
Can’t stop running, dear God it’s a hard race
Gave up my happiness and joy for the lime life
Hope that the end just a [?] alright

Whoa, winners got a price to pay, if you wanna reach the top
Pushing hard night and day, you’ll be running till your heart stops
How you gonna feel love in, when you race against the clock
Life ain’t gonna come again, but you’ll be running till your heart stops

Some things never change, go down like gravity
Can’t stop you from the game, getting paid is the air you breathe
And every time I try you always turn to me
Say it’s do or die, well listen to me, listen to me
[?] hear the bells ringing, time is running out, whoa, time is running out
If you think I’m playing boy you must be dreaming
Your time is ticking out, so love or leave me now, whoa

Whoa, winners got a price to pay, if you wanna reach the top
Pushing hard night and day, you’ll be running till your heart stops
How you gonna feel love in, when you race against the clock
Life ain’t gonna come again, but you’ll be running till your heart stops

MAINO – Glad To Be Alive

Feeling like a king, rolling on that new Porsche
Hand on the steering wheel, drowning in my own thoughts
Photos in my mind, pictures of my dead friends
Thinking bout the time when we was just some kids
Then caught up in the life, we was far from innocent
Many different nights, and life could have been the end
Take a deep breath and inhale all the fresh air
Think about life it’s a blessing just to be here
Phone calls for my dogs that’s behind bars
Trying to keep hope, 20 years to the parole board
God damn, repercussions of the game
You go from a bench to a number and a name
A big homie wrote me a [?]
5 years of balling they worth to a life
So never give up only losers don’t try
Don’t look back thank God that you’re alive

My hat real low, money on my mind
Dance till 7 got a model in my ride
I got homies in the pen, homies in the sky
Think about the drama in my life that I survived
I’m just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Pop another bottle, we gonna celebrate tonight
I’m just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Fuck what you saying I’m just glad to be alive

Glad to be breathing, enjoying my freedom
Hugging my son, me telling him I need him
Looking in his eyes while I try to blend his future
Praying that he never does the things that I used to
He won’t be no dope boy, not a gun clapper
He won’t go to jail he’ll be better than a rapper
Many tears lost on my home boys caskets
Fatherless sons in this world young bastards
Holding on my champagne bottle as I think back, hustling
In and out of town man I did that
Picture me sitting in the cell through the night
On the floor quiet sharpening my knife
Product of a violent neighborhood and a ghetto
Got above the street but it seems I can’t let go
Many different times that I could have been gone
But I got a chance, to really live on

My hat real low, money on my mind
Dance till 7 got a model in my ride
I got homies in the pen, homies in the sky
Think about the drama in my life that I survived
I’m just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Pop another bottle, we gonna celebrate tonight
I’m just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Fuck what you saying I’m just glad to be alive

Yeah, I survived drugs, I survived beats
I survived shoot outs in the middle of the street
I watched thug niggas go to jail and turn sweet
I watched friends die told my son that they was sleep
Feels like we in up in the grave or in the feds
Praying 80 [?]
Could have been laid on the ground but now it’s dead
But it wasn’t in the plan, it was meant for me to live

My hat real low, money on my mind
Dance till 7 got a model in my ride
I got homies in the pen, homies in the sky
Think about the drama in my life that I survived
I’m just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Pop another bottle, we gonna celebrate tonight
I’m just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Fuck what you saying I’m just glad to be alive.

MAINO feat. PUSH! Montana and Mouse – Gangstas Ain’t Dead

Unstoppable, ah

Whatever don’t kill me only making me stronger [x2]
Gangstas ain’t dead, get on stronger
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over

I just wanna live, stay fresh, stacking my g’s up
Any day I’m ready to shoot my enemies up
Shout out to my riders, [?] and lifers
Waiting on the day when they ready to reignite us
Always keep in mind that these niggas ain’t nothing like us
Look at how they snitching, they lying, trying to [?] us
Going in them trucks, them minivans is bulletproof [?]
With the mac on my lap, that’s how the killers do
You can tell the way that I talk that I’m a reall nigga
Just cause he come from the hood don’t make him street nigga
I just see the look in they eyes, I’m what they trying to be
Never thought I’d be the last of a dying breed
Couldn’t leave the streets alone that’s why I’m strapped up
Every time you see me, I’m always black flagged up
Unstoppable, ah
Keep my enemies close, my enemies more closer
I ain’t a celebrity baby, I’m a soldier
Gangstas ain’t dead we here, thugging ain’t over
Whatever don’t kill me only making me stronger [x2]
Gangstas ain’t dead, get on stronger
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over
Gangstas don’t die, just take a look at me
Black flag, definition of how a crook should be
Black flag, ain’t no surprise, my nigga shooking me
I act bad, I can’t explain why you just a hood nigga
From sun down to sun up, we gun down, you run up
You dumb fuck, it’s too hard to come down
From bk to va, they know me, jsut replay
Throw it in the pot, bring it back like a dj
I [?] I’m crazy, I’m psycho
[?] gunning with my 22, rifle
I’m [?] they feel me, I’m next
My enemies mad, they can’t kill me, I’m blessed
I know that you see me just little closer
Moving with the weight of the world on my shoulder
A memory a [?] nah it ain’t over
Your spirit here forever and ever cause you’re a soldier
Keep my enemies close, my enemies more closer
I ain’t a celebrity baby, I’m a soldier
Gangstas ain’t dead we here, thugging ain’t over
Whatever don’t kill me only making me stronger [x2]
Gangstas ain’t dead, get on stronger
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over
Last of a breed that’s dying
I did it all, flag scenes with hot iron
To loose a couple hundred k on a [?]
To drive whipping in the park [?] frying
Let it shizzle, whatever I scribble was the truth
No fake g’s make words riddle
They [?] like 2 grands, [?]
Hollywood dead, [?] black in the [?]
But they [?] ‘s mine, my niggas stand strong
In the presence of G’s, clowns feel small
We don’t fall, all my niggas is stand straight
We stand out, in the industry of pan cakes
And when 2 get out the clank
I’m a be right at the gates, screaming money in the bank
Hustle hard nigga
Keep my enemies close, my enemies more closer
I ain’t a celebrity baby, I’m a soldier
Gangstas ain’t dead we here, thugging ain’t over
Whatever don’t kill me only making me stronger [x2]
Gangstas ain’t dead, get on stronger
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over
Gangstas ain’t dead, it ain’t over

MAINO – Day After Tomorrow

The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow

Look, I’m not the dude that I used to be
Not the dog from the hood on the block that you used to see
Life changed now, things ain’t what they used to be
Fans wanna touch me, the industry is new to me
Getting deeper, this life I’m addicted
Caught up in this world, I’m a fiend, no prescription
Used to be a crook, now I feel like I’m a victim
What happened to the old names, people say they miss them
Maybe I’m a hypocrite, I’ve been on some different shit
Said I wouldn’t change but I did, I’m a [?]
Guess I wasn’t ready for that fame and exposure
People taking pictures getting richer can’t slow up
Hoping for tomorrow, tomorrow really came
Sitting in that jail cell, it was just a dream
It was just a dream that turned into reality
Find myself slipping trying to hold to reality

It was just a dream, money and the fame
Hoping for tomorrow, tomorrow really came
I’m sorry that I changed, I am still [?]
The day after tomorrow, tomorrow really came [x2]

The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow
Yeah, I made it, look

I made it, got away from drugs and gunshots
Standing on the bitch far away from range drops
Look at me [?] girls drop blouses
Back to the club, getting drunk spending thousands
In and out of sport cars, baby this the fast life
Sitting in the hotel, reflecting on my past life
Used to key work in a jacket on my jean suit
Now I’m in the rest, [?]
Shoot for the stars, my mother always told me
But she ain’t prepare me for this life with my homies
Trying to stay real in the industry that’s fake
I ain’t tryina sell my soul but I’m tryina get this cake
Tryin’ to get it done, set a little mansion
Parties by the pool, model bitches dancing
It was just a dream, fame is what I paid for
I cannot complain, it’s the life that I prayed for

It was just a dream, money and the fame
Hoping for tomorrow, tomorrow really came
I’m sorry that I changed, I am still [?]
The day after tomorrow, tomorrow really came [x2]

MAINO – Criminal

All I ever been was a criminal
Maino left the street’s it’s a miracle

All I ever been was a criminal
Niggas said Maino left the street’s it’s a miracle
Left the drugs alone, took the thugs alone
If you know the words, won’t you sing along
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now

Rolling through the city in my big wheel
Raindrops dancing on my windshield
I can see the future in on plane view
While my past is peeking though my rear view
It’s a miracle, how I made it out the slums
They said I’ll be dead before I’m 21
Look ma, here’s a gift from your oldest son
Never had a house so I’m bout to buy you one
Cause I remember days we needed help
Now it’s champagne on the shelf
Trying to balance fame and the wealth
Made a name for myself
But tell me what’s important, the game or my health
So this is for the ones that remember me before rap
Where my only source of money came from home crack
Young boy, big heart, quit the click clack
Misled, little head and a big hat

All I ever been was a criminal
Niggas said Maino left the street’s it’s a miracle
Left the drugs alone, took the thugs alone
If you know the words, won’t you sing along
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now

This single [?], I ain’t really lyrical
It’s cool feel, get it, it ain’t meant for you
You never faced the judge when he sentences you
You couldn’t walk a mile in my Louie shoes
I used to play the block trying to dodge the [?]
Ask bird, ask cream, they remember me
They remember me and dog and that blue ford
No class pants holding up that 44
Young and wild, headed for that [?]
Before I knew it, I was in that pen wild
No music, way before the videos
[?] came to see me on the visit yo
Can’t forget Fatty and Serena
Used to write me letters, it helped me keep my head up
I was trapped in, but you had my back then
Green prison clothes, I ain’t even rap then

All I ever been was a criminal
Niggas said Maino left the street’s it’s a miracle
Left the drugs alone, took the thugs alone
If you know the words, won’t you sing along
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now

Yeah, things different for me, people listen to me
Little girls they see me, and snap pictures of me
You never know, never say never
Used to think that I will be in the street forever
Me and mouse yeap, me and Seino,
Early 90′s baby wharrup to Gino
Laying back, pretty women bring me breakfast
Thinking back I kept the Tec and the Lexus
No record deal, just a big dream
Hoping the coke will bring me everything

Cause all I ever been was a criminal
You either end up in jail or in a funeral
Shout out to the homies I grew up with
Used to shoot, used to rob, sell drugs with
Bad choices, good friends turn to memories
Still the same, still maino, I remember me

All I ever been was a criminal
Niggas said Maino left the street’s it’s a miracle
Left the drugs alone, took the thugs alone
If you know the words, won’t you sing along
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now
Ehey, ehey, now, ehey, ehey, now

MAINO feat. Rock City – Call Me Hood

You play it hard, you play it tight, you make sure niggas know you gonna stand by your people.

[Hook:]
It seems like the streets keep calling me
I’m just a fiend for my hood
Crooked police keep they eyes on me
But I won’t leave [?] my hood
Call me ghetto, call me goon
Call me gangster, but I call me hood
Call me convict, call me fool
Call me trouble, but I call me hood

[Verse 1:]
Ghetto boy, ghetto boy, wilding since a little boy
All I felt was pain, Lord please won’t you send me joy
God must have heard my prayers, came to me in my dreams
It’s been over 6 years and my mother’s still clean
Oh-oh, oh-oh, that’s right, I’m living my life
I’m in the street, right on my block
We chilling all night
So call me what you wanna call me
I did all them corners homie
Gun shots, tears drop
I done lost a couple homies
Victim of a violent hood
Product of a dirty slum
I ain’t going back to jail
Already let them judge me once
Call me dumb, call me fool
Fine, you can call me stupid
Cause I come, flying through the hood
When I get some new shit
Grinding from crumbs man, I done what I could nigga
Look at me I made it out but still I’m just a hood nigga
Oh-oh, that’s right, I’m feeling like I’m falling see
Every now and then I hear it, the streets is calling me

[Hook:]
It seems like the streets keep calling me

Call me ghetto, call me goon
Call me gangster, but I call me hood
Call me convict, call me fool
Call me trouble, but I call me hood

[Verse 2:]
Yeah, packed jails, closed schools, over-crowded classrooms
College girls on stripper poles, feeling like we all doomed
Rock sellers, God tell us, why they let the cops kills us
Wouldn’t understand unless you’re standing on them blocks with us
Blood and tears, show no fear, candles for my dead peers
Pregnant teens, broken dreams, but I still love it here
Yes I said I love it here, take a breath, smell the air
Look around, feel the ground, you can sense the danger near
New babies, lost fathers, drugs inside the household
Alcohol, aids, wait [?] tell me something I don’t know
Tell me where the hope is at
Real you can call me that
Never goin far away, the streets is always calling back

[Bridge:]
Even though I seen the struggle, even though I seen the struggle
My whole life was a struggle, that’s all that I know
[?] I have to hustle
Money stays on my mind and I won’t let it go
See this here is survival of the realest
And only if you real you will feel it
So if you don’t live it, don’t speak it
Make it hard for you to not see it

[Hook:]
It seems like the streets keep calling me
I’m just a fiend for my hood
Crooked police keep they eyes on me
But I won’t leave [?] my hood
Call me ghetto, call me goon

Niggas know my name, I got general stripes
I’m bout that life, I’m bout that life
You know what I’m bout

Bitches on deck, hopping out the coupe
Hammer on me and my homies do to
I’m bout that life, bout that life
You know what I’m bout

Real niggas know exactly what I’m talking bout
Get money stay fly till they chalk us out
An 80 coming on we just bailed them out
So you know we gonna ball when my dawg get out
It’s a rock star life, nigga skull and bones
All we do is party on fuck centerfolds
On the road to riches in a Lamborghini
Hotel full of bitches wearing just bikinis
My last bitch turned into my ex bitch
Had to quit her cause she wouldn’t eat that next bitch
Caught up in this life clubbing every night
Dear God am I wrong, something for the life
Cause all I see around me is material
Try to stay alive, ducking early funerals
Fast money getting, I’m bout that
Phantom ghost bitch I’m checking out that

I got money on my mind, deck full of ice
Niggas know my name, I got general stripes
I’m bout that life, I’m bout that life
You know what I’m bout
I’m bout that life
Bitches on deck, hopping out the coupe
Hammer on me and my homies do to
I’m bout that life, bout that life
You know what I’m bout
I’m bout that life
I’m bout that life

Black coupe, white diamonds and an Audemar
Bills good e’ryday then I order more
Fuck with me rose like it’s no tomorro’
Another bottle for my doggs still behind them bars
Spending g notes women give me deep throat
In the club screaming, I’m digging the Nino
We only live once so I’m going hard
2 bitches waiting for me at the guest apart
This is music that the bloggers even fuck with
Street shit drug dealers and their trucks with
Niggas hatin’ but it’s cool cause I’m still laughing
Foes get gunned down, Bin Laden
White body benz, rims poking out
4 5 for the [?] know what I’m bout
It’s that drug life, welcome to a thug’s life
This that fuck the world finger to them [?] life

I got money on my mind, deck full of ice
Niggas know my name, I got general stripes
I’m bout that life, I’m bout that life
You know what I’m bout
I’m bout that life
Bitches on deck, hopping out the coupe
Hammer on me and my homies do to
I’m bout that life, bout that life
You know what I’m bout
I’m bout that life
I’m bout that life

Money on my mind, trying to get it up
50 grand on my wrist man I’m glitted up
Fell asleep inside the club woke up with a bitch
Rolled over then I nodes that she brought her bitch
Caught up in this living what I’m supposed to do
God help me I’ve been drinking since the quarter 2
Bottles everywhere, models in they underwear
That’s what I’m about [?]

I got money on my mind, deck full of ice
Niggas know my name, I got general stripes
I’m bout that life, I’m bout that life
You know what I’m bout
I’m bout that life
Bitches on deck, hopping out the coupe
Hammer on me and my homies do to
I’m bout that life, bout that life
You know what I’m bout
I’m bout that life
I’m bout that life.

MAINO – Be Me

Yea
Yea yea yea
I can only be me my nigga
I’m not onyx nigga
Yea c’mon man

[Chorus:]
I ain’t Big homie
I ain’t Jay-Z
I can’t do it like snoop
Baby that ain’t me
I can be me
I’m a be me
I can’t copy no man
I’m a be me
Look how diddy dance
I can’t do that
And I don’t wear my clothes
Like Jim Jones
You know that
I can only be me
I’m a be me
I can’t be what I’m not
I’m a be me

[Verse 1:]
I don’t immitate
I initiate
And I dson’t sound like no body
Let’s set it straight
I don’t rap like Jadakiss
I’m different
And I ain’t just talkin our records
I’m really livin it
I ain’t Wayne
I ain’t Game
Ain’t none of em
I’m a be myself
I’m trying to be like none of em
Look how we done it crack
We gone do the same rap
Homie I ain’t Fab
Nigga shoot me I shot him back
So forgive me
If I ain’t your favorite rapper
I’m just a thug on a song
I don’t play with rappers
The second of none it’s the first to me
And to put it more blunt
I’m a be me

[Chorus:]
I ain’t Nas, baby
I ain’t Mob Deep
I know you lookin for Jeezy
But that ain’t me
I can be me
I’m a be me
I can’t copy no man
I’m a be me
Kanye Make beats
I can’t do that
You can’t expect me to be 50
And you know that
I can only be me
I’m a be me
I can’t be what I’m not
I’m a be me

[Verse 2:]
This is me respect me for who I am
Don’t expect me to immolate another man
I’m not the next Pac
I ain’t the next big
I’m just me my nigga
I get it how I live
You hear that pain in me
Ain’t nothing fake with me
I can’t be what I’m not
Dog that ain’t in me
I’m the truth
It’s hard for me to live a lie
I can’t sound like I’m from the south
I’m from the star
Real niggas they love me for doing what I do
The streets know I don’t make songs like Common do
I don’t jump around like in Busta video
But I lay a nigga down like a busta video

[Chorus:]
My nigga B.G.
My nigga T.I.P.
I know they love outkast
But that ain’t me
I could be me
I’m a be me
I can’t copy no man
I’m a be me
Look how Akon sing
I can’t do that
And I don’t make songs like Tylin
You know that
I can only be me
I’m a be me
I can’t be what I’m not
I’m a be me

[Verse 3:]
I make my music
Shit that I like music
Me being me
Original fight music
Our street music
Stayin to beef music
See a nigga shoot
You poppin your heat music
This not cam music
Nigga this is man music
First day home
Fresh out of the can music
Straight music
None of that mase music
Black bandana tied to your face music
Thug music nigga I’m not ludacris
Drunk music listen to how I’m doing this
Real music accept or refuse it
And ya’ll already know exactly who it is

[Chorus:]
I ain’t big homie
I ain’t Jay-z
I can’t do it like snoop
Baby that ain’t me
I can be me
I’m a be me
I can’t copy no man
I’m a be me
Look how diddy dance
I can’t do that
And I don’t wear my clothes
Like Jim Jones
You know that
I can only be me
I’m a be me
I can’t be what I’m not
I’m a be me
