We Try Lyrics

By sight, walk by faith

We walk by faith and not by sight

Walk by faith, we walk by faith

And not by sight

So many lose the fight

Leave the night find the light

So many lose the fight

Well we try, well at least we try

So many lose in life

Wait for a trick or pride

So many lose the fight

Well we tried, well at least we try

We try to maintain through the hurt through the rain

Through the pain but still looking for change

No matter the range we still try to aim

Pulling the trigger and make it go bang

Feel disrespected we making it sang

And we put that on gang, red flag let it hang

Fitted cap converse to match

Keeping the strap on our hip in our lap

It's a part of the fit, we're watching our six

In case we get hit, no time for the games

Nintendo we play with extendos that come with a switch

Drum barrel comes with a kick

Glock doesn't snitch, unless they get all of the prints

Jump over the fence, it may not make sense to you

But this is our life, this is our fight, we wanna get right

But sometimes it's hard, we believe in the Lord and our God

But deal with fugazi and deal with the frauds

Deal with a Judas that's looking to shoot us uproot us for some silver or gold

Black messiah pariah we look to inspire

And lead us down golden brick roads

Book of Clarence better known as Terrance

Who showed us all how to whip up the work

Sell it in bandos and sometimes in camels

And congregate on the block we call it church

My brothers be dying their mamas be crying

We putting another face on T shirt

Limited options no AB or C but the demon time's free

And it seems like we're cursed

Consequences are the worst

I wonder if faith in Jesus really works

They keep coming here and invite to church

Maybe I'll check them out see what it's worth

So many lose the fight

Leave the night find the light

So many lose the fight

Well we try, well at least we try

So many lose in life

Wait for a trick or pride

So many lose the fight

Well we tried, well at least we try

Sojourner for truth reaching out to the youth

To show em' there's proof that we can bear fruit

Even with nappy roots locs let em' swang

Went from a fro to a Caesar then changed

Back to a fade 89 stang bumping

Prodigy the HNIC, gassed me up and made me wanna believe

That I could do anything surf on the wave

Went into the military got saved

Taught bible studies and gave God the praise

Even at war, we found a way to worship Spirit outpour

Bullets flying soldiers dying we crying we wondering why

We're still here, is it really for the money the oil

Revenge on terrorism American soil

Saluting my brothers and sisters in arms

The sacrifices we made still do us harm

I know we signed up for this, and it came with a bonus

PTSD and deployments we own it nah it really owns us

It's hard for us to trust people and motives

When their motives changes with subjects promoted

By the news propaganda and the slander

It's easy for us to caught up and pander the status quo

Dr Myles Munroe made a good point when he said

The value of life isn't in the duration but in the donation

And what we can offer the nation and offer the world

Black lives matter yeah blue lives matter yeah all lives matter yeah

All of the above

Motte and Bailey and it's crazy that people still hate on a daily

And don't show you love

So many lose the fight

Leave the night find the light

So many lose the fight

Well we try, well at least we try

So many lose in life

Wait for a trick or pride

So many lose the fight

Well we tried, well at least we try

There's so many different religions out there

Churches on every block

It's hard to know which one's the right one for you

Different doctrines, different theology

Which one we supposed to follow

I remember one time I went to this, Christian event

There was a guy there that had red chucks on

Red cap, red bandana in his back pocket, tatted up

I was like that's dope man

But at the event, I heard some people

Gossiping about other people at the event

And he overheard, and he was looking like yo

I thought this was supposed to be different

They still talking about people over here

I thought this was supposed to be different
