You know.I'm tryna to do this,
I'm tryna to do that,
I gotta be here,

I'm tryna balance it all

Tryna balance it all out.
Feels like I'm walking on a tight rope trying
Not to lose control (tryna balance it all out)
I try my hardest not to fall down, I got no where
To go (tryna balance it all out) Yeah. I gotta
Feed my babies, heavy load but I know that I can
Take it, (tryna balance it all out) I don't know what you thinking bout,
But I'm just tryna balance it out

Aye gotta rap gotta do the business gotta feed
These children, you ain't talked to me because I'm
Busy, I ain't acting funny I'm just living Graany
Told me she ain't seen me mama told me she miss me,
My lady friend acting crazy on me talking bout these
Bitches, my niggas with me more than anyone its safe
To say that we kin, anybody know that I can buy some
Time I don't give a damn and I'm paying, I got video shoots,
Shows everyday, studio and record records, conference call
Right now gotta call you back my shit so heavy, blame it
On my ambitious all I know is addition charge it to my mind
Not my heart I love you all thats on GOD. and no I ain't looking
For no volume novel I been broke that off.I'm just tryna find a balance

Tryna balance it all out
Feels like I'm walking on a tight rope trying
Not to lose control (tryna balance it all out)

We flying high if we ever land Imma hit the ground
Running. highest floor delanor love they wipe they core
Look out the window still can't help but see the low
So it ain't as easy as it seems ain't no in between

Feed my babies, heavy load but I know that I can
Take it, (tryna balance it all out) I don't know what you thinking bout,

Child support late.
Food stamps don got cut short.
Cant get a job. when I was younger I fucked up.
Hard to start over.
When this rap shit is all they see
Hustlin is in my blood so you know
A nigga gotta go get it out in these
Streets ready or not these bills keep
Coming ain't no slowing doowwn all them
Errands that I keep running ain't no stoping




Nooww. and I don't know what you thinking bout
But I'm just tryna balance it all out
