The second track from Yeek’s IDK WHERE EP, “I’m Trying”, features Yeek’s long-time friend Dominic Fike. Unlike the other songs on the project, “I’m Trying” is solely produced by Yeek himself.
Yeek and Dominic sing about not feeling like they’re good enough in their respective relationships.
[Intro: Yeek]
I'm no good, I’m no saint
All I hear are complaints
Why do you try to change me?
[Chorus: Yeek]
All I do is try
(I'm no good, I'm no saint)
All I do is try
(I’m no good, I'm no saint)
[Verse 1: Dominic Fike]
Lines in my living room, yeah
Going over lines for you, washed and dried and ironed for you
Went out for you and stayed out for you 'cause I tried for you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Look, I know you're going through your phases (Going through it)
Don't gotta try to change me (She going through it)
Problems and complaints, baby
Problems and complaints, baby, why, why, why?
Why, why, why? (She going through it)
Why? (You're going through it)
Problems and complaints, baby
Problems and comp—, bitch
[Chorus: Yeek]
All I do is try
(I'm no good, I'm no saint)
All I do is try
(I’m no good, I’m no saint)
[Verse 2: Yeek]
Baby, stop the yelling, please
Feel like I commit a felony
Tried but you said that's not enough
Don’t care, that's why you fell in love
Lines in my one-bedroom (Room)
Wasn't me, was probably you (You)
What a mess, we should clean it up (Messy)
Guess you felt I wasn't sweet enough
No-no-no
Too many problems
Leave ’em in the past 'til they rotten
No, no, no, no, no
[Chorus: Yeek]
All I do is try
(I'm no good, I'm no saint)
All I do is try
(I'm no good, I'm no saint)
