I Tried Lyrics

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 aint for you

Acting weird let em' go

Better now rather than later

I was patient and delivered

But aint 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

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

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
