I tried, didn't have to but I did man, in the end you can go ahead and tell em
I tried, and I didn't even want to, but I'm happy that I did, you can tell em
I tried, yeah I tried, man I tried, yeah I tried, you can tell em I tried, yeah I tried, I tried, man I tried
I feel I'm lost in the way that I live, I miss the days when I was a kid, back then I was so close to my kin
Easy to lose but harder to win
Cause lately people been judging and judging, got no way out but we all keep on running
All keep on smiling through all of the pain, all of the hate and all of the shame, and all of the sleepless nights
Back to back to back to back to back, swear it's getting heavy on the track, I'ma keep it honest when I rap
Most of you ain't closer to the edge like me, fought like me, stabbed in the back by your friends like me
Honestly you are not built like me, and now you see
I tried, didn't have to but I did man, in the end you can go ahead and tell em
I tried, and I didn't even want to, but I'm happy that I did, you can tell em I tried, yeah I tried, man I tried, yeah I tried, you can tell em I tried, yeah I tried, I tried, man I tried
Soldier salute, shoot my shot, you know I'm with Groot, so open a book, reading is knowing so you better look
So come at me, hook, like Peter Pan, I've been fighting the crook, better plan cause I hang with the group
If you ain't the member then you ain't the friend, Chikola the vibe, and that ain't a joke, better provide and give us a hope
Close my eyes and pray that she grows, too many died out in the streets, too many fights with the police
Too many riots out in the streets, but we wanna be free, too many problems that we couldn't solve
Too many niggas that's hunting the law, too many niggas that's stuck with the scar, but I told em move fast, there ain't no love in this pride, there ain't no love in this bar
Better think fast and get out the stress, I am not flash but I'm doing the dash
I tried, didn't have to but I did man, in the end you can go ahead and tell em
I tried, and I didn't even want to, but I'm happy that I did, you can tell em
I tried, yeah I tried, man I tried, yeah I tried, you can tell em
I tried, yeah I tried, I tried, man I tried
Say I tried it's fine I get it, things that I get but you better forget it
All of these feelings they dead in the bin, all my reactions they got more to break
See I tried it's fine I get it, think that I car well you better forget it
All these feelings are dead and they buried, all my reactions that come automatic
I tried, yeah I tried, man I tried, yeah I tried, you can tell em
I tried, yeah I tried, I tried, man I tried
I tried, didn't have to but I did man, in the end you can go ahead and tell em
I tried, and I didn't even want to, but I'm happy that I did, you can tell em
I tried, yeah I tried, man I tried, yeah I tried, you can tell em
I tried, yeah I tried, I tried, man I tried
