I Tried

[Intro]
I tried so many times when lights go out
I tried…
I tried…
I tried…
I tried…

[Verse 1]
Look… if I die it’ll be for Glory not for gold
Put my name on the map, said It before
It’s man versus machine the
The dark against the light
Stand firm king supreme I can’t die tonight
Yes the flow butter and butter makes cream
Dr. King ain't the only nigga with a dream
Just to sleep, wipe the sweat from my face and see evil’s around me
It’s tempting me to chase cheese
Lord give me strength, you know I try hard
I ain't got nothing left, that’s why I ride bars
Picture paradise, drizzle like a rain storm
Violence is a bitch it’s too quick to get your brains blown
Mind over matter, it's still the same song
Same nigga, still manoeuvre like I’m James Bond
Triple stacks in the stash box, face warm
Fribble past competition, scribble on the page form

[Chorus]
You know I try hard, I never stop to
But it’s never enough, so tell me what to do
Should I sell my soul or just let it ride?
Should I stand firm or just say goodbye?
You know I try hard, I never stop to
But it’s never enough, so tell me what to do
Should I sell my soul or just let it ride?
Should I stand firm or just say goodbye?

[Verse 2]
I’m a beast listen, see my dreams glistening?
Got my city on my back 'cause I speak freedom
Praise be to God, Christ I’ma keep living
A righteous life never mind all the slick dissing
Though my scrotum still calling me to lay pipe
Stay right, pray Christ protect me from the fake life
Hit the stage lights, as I stand behind the mic
Priceless the feeling that you get when you let it ride
Flow like a waterfall, foes I will slaughter y’all
Watch the demon coming out, It’s something like an altar call
When the dark come I’m saved by the candle light
Let me spark something, deadly like a rattle bite
I try hard not to stress but the bar stool
Serve to be my therapist, music you spark to
Yes, I'd rather die than have not
Beg the Lord take me to Heaven 'cause I done had enough

[Chorus]
You know I try hard, I never stop to
But it’s never enough, so tell me what to do
Should I sell my soul or just let it ride?
Should I stand firm or just say goodbye?
You know I try hard, I never stop to
But it’s never enough, so tell me what to do
Should I sell my soul or just let it ride?
Should I stand firm or just say goodbye?

[Outro]
You know I try hard (It’s BluMurda bitch)
You know I try hard (Yah)
You know I try hard
You know I try hard
Shout out to All Sparks for the beat it’s incredible, I appreciate it, hah
Ah man, we over here 24 hours, 365 everyday doing the same thing, working hard man
But they still overlook
I don’t understand it
Nah for real, I really don’t understand it
But I’m out man, it’s alright though
We gon’ keep doing it, haha
