I Tried

[Verse 1: Rowlan]
I tried and I tried
And I worked til it hurt
And I wrote while I searched
And became like the church
They look for me to lead em
They hope that I believe em
They hope that I would need em
They hope that I stay real
And that I never do deceive em
Yeah
Said there's a feeling
When the only thing changing this shit is you
That's why these women making plans
And I just never see em through
Took a while for the fruit
But I watered it til it grew
And throughout everything
And everybody doubting
I just knew
And false connections
Taught me how to stay true
Taught me how to stay myself
And keep my heart rate normal
And trust the energy
And know that everybody ain't for you
Acting weird let em' go
Better now rather than later
I was patient and delivered
But ain't never been a waiter
The people get faker
The more success you receive
And I plan to be a mogul
But got everything I need
I tried and I tried
Til' the trying turned to copping
Red blue green or yellow
I don't ever see me stopping
Oh no
And know I tried

[Verse 2: Rowlan]
I tried and I tried
And I worked til it hurt
And I wrote while I searched
And became like the church
They look for me to lead em
They hope that I believe em
They hope that I would need em
They hope that I stay real
And that I never do deceive em
Yeah
And there's a feeling when
You the only one in it that can win it
Like the 89' Jordan
That's pulling up for the finish
You lift the ship or it's sinking
It's executing or thinking
It's hitting the shot or bricking
Not sacrificing your morals
Holding the ball and scoring
Then smiling at opponents
Then bringing back home the trophy
Best kept secret
Home town hero
All the locals tried to keep it
Had me blocked
And now you on my page creeping
Cause I was working
You were sitting home sleeping
Yeah
I got a cadence we can live off
And no more little flows
Now tsunami's all I give yall
Get in my way and you meet your ending
And now I'm popping up cause
Cause reality back and trending
Yeah I tried
Yeah
Yeah I tried

[Outro: Rowlan]
I tried and I tried
And I worked til it hurt
And I wrote while I searched
And became like the church
They look for me to lead em
They hope that I believe em
They hope that I would need em
They hope that I stay real
And that I never do deceive em
I tried and I tried
And I worked til it hurt
And I wrote while I searched
And became like the church
