Trying To Live (Live) Lyrics

Yo, it seem like, as long as you living for them, it's all good

No matter what your situation is

But as soon as you do something for you, it's a problem

And they wanna put a microscope on everything

I'm just trying to live my life

They don't wanna see me rise

I'm just trying to live my life

They don't wanna see me rise

I'm just trying to live my life

Only got one shot to get it right

I'm shooting in the dark, but the target's in my sight

Candle burning both ends

Live once, I think twice

I'm all in with dirty dice

From every pie, I need a slice

It's Mr. Cool, I serve it hot

They told me, hold the ice

They call me fame, that's just a name

I don't like to lights

I'm just good with my words

And I like to write

I could drop an album, 16 tracks one night

It's easy for me, cause I'm only giving you my life

It ain't no fiction, I just add in a little spice

Grabbing your attention when I'm spitting

Cause the bar's nice, I'm sharing parts of me

So everything you wont like

I'm just trying to live my life

They don't wanna see me rise

So I'm just floating in the wind

Following my soul

Fighting till the end of the road

I'm just trying to live my life

They don't wanna see me rise

So I'm just floating in the wind

Following my soul

Fighting till the end of the road

I'm dying inside

As my soul cries

Angels singing lullabies

Finally I realize

This life is mine

Gotta live it wrong or right

Ain't no stopping me

Lord, please keep them off of me

At least until I'm where I'm supposed to be

I'm just trying to live, but I need room to breathe

I'm just trying to take a stand

They want me on my knees

The God I serve, no he don't agree

He gave me power and good sense to the fifth degree

Family and friends, that's all I need

I'm just trying to live my life

They don't wanna see me rise

I'm just trying to live my life

Cause they don't wanna see me rise

All my past mistakes

Yo the beds are made

Blessings coming

I can feel it yo they're on the way

I made some choices that I really wish I could change

But I can't

And the memories won't fade away

So I just live with it

Till the day my story's told

When you judge me

Base it on my hands and ten toes

My last words

Play this track

Cause the books closed and the ending we all know
