[Intro]
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
My composure
[VERSE 1]
Got my two feet down and I’m swinging’ out the gate
Keep my enemies close and keep them haters out the way
Got me praying up to God cuz I never know my fate
And I know the devil lurkin but I never took the bate
I be puttin in work, stay away from the drama
I ain’t really got much, just a dream and a dolla
Yea my first love gone Rest In Peace to my momma
But I keep my girls close that’s my wife and my daughter
Imma self-made Soldier ain’t too much I can’t handle
I got the game locked imma light it like a candle
I keep it real witcha, got it solid in my mantle
I keep a 9 on me don’t you make me grab the handle
Man I’m out here tryna get it every single word I meant it
And every time I pray I hope the lord really gets it
Cuz every time I step up out the crib I’m on a mission
I give it all I got and I’m neva gone finish
[Chorus]
When yo head down low and you staying’ out the way
When you prayin up to God that he take the pain away
When you gotta the make the time but it’s tryna run away
When you workin’ to the bone and it’s not another way
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
My composure
[VERSE 2]
Niggas out here fakin it
Ain’t nobody sayin shit
Gotta pay the rent
Niggas out here barely makin it
Gotta put the food on the table for the fam
Work another late shift
Just to go back in the a.m
I’ll be damn if I let another nigga infiltrate
It’s a stray that I’m sending right between that nigga face
Get it straight I don’t wanna have to bring the burner out
Nowadays niggas think up any reason for the clout
It’s the same ol shit, don’t nobody wanna change
Niggas praisin mumble rappers over rappers spittin game
It’s a shame, but I keep it calm and collected though
Imma pro, when whistle blow, now it’s time to go
Imma go, imma go, goin hard every moment
You can’t stop me anyway, and the train keep it goin
Niggas wanna see you fall, but fallin ain’t a option
What you sayin’ ain’t true, I suggest you change the topic
[Chorus]
When yo head down low and you staying’ out the way
When you prayin up to God that he take the pain away
When you gotta the make the time but it’s tryna run away
When you workin’ to the bone and it’s not another way
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
My composure
[VERSE 3]
Imma keep it pushin nigga I ain’t never sat in place
95 in a 55, yea I’m on a chase
This a race, all gas I ain’t never split the pace
Look into a nigga eyes can you tell it when they fake
I don’t even have a question
I need to learn a lesson
I went through grade school just to learn the same section
The fabricated lies I been told all my life
Imma grown man now, now I gotta make it right
Gotta step up to the plate, I know what I gotta do
See the truth, it ain’t really what ya say it’s what you do
Here’s a clue, when you talk about it be about it bruh
It’s enough, you ain’t gotta tell em lies being tough
Worry bout cha own bag, everybody ain’t for you
And it’s true, what I’m tellin you is what I’m gonna do
Livin’ proof, gotta have that mindset when I’m older
And when I gotta problem best believe I got composure
[Chorus]
When yo head down low and you staying’ out the way
When you prayin up to God that he take the pain away
When you gotta the make the time but it’s tryna run away
When you workin’ to the bone and it’s not another way
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
I’m keeping my composure
My composure
[OUTRO]
The only way to do it
The only way to do it
