I Try

[Intro]
(What is blackice?)
Yeah
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, baow, baow, baow, baow, baow
Yeah
Yeah

[Chorus]
Look, in the back of my mind, feel like cryin' but, bitch, I’m a soldier, that's just something I cannot do
I've been totin’ that iron, been slingin' it too, bitch, I know that you lyin', say it's just me and you
And y'all left me outside to dry, but now I'm on fire and your neck on the bottom of my shoe
They wanna kill a nigga just 'cause I'm speakin’ the truth, bitch, I’m just real nigga, I don't know what else to do
Why lie, when I’m speakin' on my life?
It's the platinum on my ice
Feel like I never get mine right
Even though I try, I try, I try
Even though I try, I try, I try

[Verse 1]
Look, I had a dream where one day, I'ma becomе
What I wanna be, I gotta keep it a hundred
It’s been some timе when I was fiendin' for company
Anybody, I just needed someone with me
Paranoid, know I need me a gun with me
You my brother if you go on a hunt with me
Scratch that, man, them niggas be wannabes
They'll go with you to show they'll slide
Can tell if you real if I look in your eyes
Got no gun in the club, throw a hook when I die
Boy, you need to pick up a book, learn a lot
I was crashin' back then, I'm just glad I'm alive
I could have been dead, I'm just glad I survived
I'll spit in your face 'fore you fuck up my vibe
And I'm in the A, swear to God, I'm so high
You can lose your life 'fore anybody know why

[Interlude]
Yeah, you know?
So niggas, God damn, hit the cut
They get to sprayin'
I got my sticks, yeah, my first instinct is to bust 'em, know what I'm sayin'?
Nigga like, "You a rapper, you ain't supposed to be doin' that", what the fuck you want me to do, die?

[Chorus]
Look, in the back of my mind, feel like cryin' but, bitch, I'm a soldier, that's just something I cannot do
I've been totin' that iron, been slingin' it too, bitch, I know that you lyin', say it's just me and you
And y'all left me outside to dry, but now I'm on fire and your neck on the bottom of my shoe
They wanna kill a nigga just 'cause I'm speakin' the truth, bitch, I'm just real nigga, I don't know what else to do
Why lie, when I'm speakin' on my life?
It's the platinum on my ice
Feel like I never get mine right
Even though I try, I try, I try
Even though I try, I try, I try

[Verse 2]
Look, and I'm steady spendin' for those of you who be wishin' we could switch positions
No, this shit ain't easy, you trippin', I'm up, now most all my friends done went missin', I don't get it
High publicity, I just switch it, I wanna change, my mind stuck in the trenches
Gon' bust that flame to my opponents and finish
I see that boy, I'm smilin', uppin' the semi (Boom, boom, boom, grah)
I can't turn around, won't go back
No, I can't put the gun down, I could never lack
Freak ho, tell her, "Turn around," hit her from the back
And everybody know what is it if I got on all black
That lil' fuck nigga big cap, need a tall hat
When I was down on my ass, where the fuck was y'all at?
When I was down on my ass, where the fuck was you?
Now you askin' for some cash, I don't fuck with you
You ain't my people, why lie?
Run up and get hit like five times
Stand up, got four more, that's a whole nine
Four slugs in the floor now
It's overkill, don't scream that shit if you don't know 'bout it
Lil' overkill, if he's lookin' for me, in the back with some hoes probably

[Chorus]
In the back of my mind, feel like cryin' but, bitch, I'm a soldier, that's just something I cannot do
I've been totin' that iron, been slingin' it too, bitch, I know that you lyin', say it's just me and you
And y'all left me outside to dry, but now I'm on fire and your neck on the bottom of my shoe
They wanna kill a nigga just 'cause I'm speakin' the truth, bitch, I'm just real nigga, I don't know what else to do
Why lie, when I'm speakin' on my life?
It's the platinum on my ice
Feel like I never get mine right
Even though I try, I try, I try
Even though I try, I try, I try

[Outro]
(What is blackice?)
Even though I try, I try, I try
Even though I try, I try, I try
