Trying To Be ft. Calypso Sinn Lyrics

No, I don't do this as a hobby

It's how I vent so I don't hurt my soul or my body

I'm cool, calm and collect, but piss me off and I'll flip

That's why I work overnight so I don't be around nobody

It gives me time to clear my mind

Playing beat after beat while I'm contemplating these rhymes

Smoking sweet after sweet, still productive while getting high

Cause I be stressing, I feel like I barely be getting by

But that's my fault, I swear I do that shit a lot

But one day I'ma succeed if y'all believe in me or not

I'm taking me and my team all the way to the top

But some of my team be slacking, procrastinating a lot

And at times I do the same shit, but I'm too determined to quit

I got two kids, that's a lot that I got to get to leave behind

And make sure my babies are straight

Becoming what I've been trying, my mind I never would change, huh

Trying to raise a woman in the form of my daughter

Giving her advice, she got to think a lot smarter

But she don't give a fuck, she feeling her life's harder

Argue with her mama, some little nigga done spoiled her

I'm busy chasing checks, regretting I should've been there

I try to balance time and seeing it's never been fair

It's either sitting broke at home and all alone

Or get it on the road and do it because you're grown

I monetize everything, still keep a business mind

Cover up the pain till I see the finish line

Smoking weed and feeling fine, though it's only temporary

A born hustler is written on my obituary

I heard the apple never falls far from the tree

I'm just praying that she never falls far from me

Every move that I make, I hope you finally see

A better man at the end is what I'm trying to be
