I Tried (Ft. Mary J Blige)
Lyricist:Mary J Blige, Talib Kweli, John Stephens, Kanye Omari West
Yeah, yeah New Talib Kweli You know what it is Come on
Hey yo Hey yo Hey yo
I try, I try, I try You know I try I try, I try, I try You know I try
K. West, Kweli Got searched on the plane, Arabic first name Disturbed by the fame, just like Kurt Cobain Breath of life, kiss of death, my lips pursed the same You flirt 'til she came
Nothin' hurt like the pain and torture Daughters of the dust lookin' for a vein Something to take in vain like the Lord's name Put your hands together, got 'em all sayin'
I try, I try, I try You know I try I try, I try, I try You know I try
Yo, it's all ghetto in gear higher, the floor settle More metal for beef that we don't let the law settle I try to navigate the treacherous waters of America's ghettos that set up the slaughterers
But there's more of us Although we speak in different languages We all pretty familiar with what anger is Young and dangerous, [Incomprehensible] Get up on some gangsta shit
Guns to bang ya wit' And we put it on records to entertain ya wit' I'm grown with pains way deeper than my receivers Our uniforms is white sneakers and white T-shirts
On top of wife beaters, we like to light reefers The 'hood need us for rappers, just ain't the right leaders I put a lot into it, this is my product and I gotta move it Stop the industry but you can't stop the music
An upside down kingdom where life is just not fair, upside down kingdom Some many sufferin' 'cuz deep inside they're scared, so scared Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Fear pumped into their veins to keep them from their destiny Where would they be if you and I don't care?
I try, I try You know I try I try, I try, I try You know I try
Yo, the things I'm seein' on the news is insane A stock broker shoot his kid and throw himself in front of a train A mother leave her baby home for two weeks, all by himself Two years old, eatin' ketchup and mustard, cryin' for help
Tryin' to bring your struggle to life The label want a song about a bubbly life I have trouble tryin' to write some shit To bang in the club through the night When people suffer tonight, Lord knows I try
I try, I try, I try You know I try I try, I try, I try You know I try
Life is a beautiful struggle People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle
Come on, say it now, life is a beautiful struggle People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle Some people put it all together, yeah
I try, I try You know I try I try, oh, Lord I try Everyday I
Upside down kingdom Oh, they're so scared Everyday on the news We can't look around without Something somewhere
I try, I try You know I try I try, I try, I try You know I try
Lord knows Lord knows we try Yeah
