I Tried

The Foundation专辑



  • She don't wanna be with me no mo'
    Ain't her fault she just tired of this dumb **** that she don't know
    Whether to throw in the towel or if he gon' grow
    And if he do, where is he gon' go?
    Got a letter from an old friend, I read it and cried
    When he told me that his girl just died
    Right out of the blue, breast cancer, wasn't nothin to do
    Now I'm sittin here and thinkin of you
    Tryin to come to amends, cause really I done wanted you in
    You the only one I trust as a friend
    I know I'm on my last leg limpin with this ******** written
    But I still gotta bring it to light
    Spent half of a lifetime missin cause I would not listen
    Confused about my wrong and my rights
    They tellin me that time heals wounds though
    This wound gon' need some stitches; I got testimony for ******
    You doin what you do but when the shoe gets flipped
    Standin on the other foot got your boots and ****
    When you back up and analyze, fix **** and finalize
    Before you leave the **** alone just try
    Maybe there's somethin you can do to rectify what's did
    And plus you gotta think of the kids
    That's kinda just the way life is, you either gotta live or you die
    At least that I can say that I tried
    Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could
    Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough
    Cause when it's over, said **** done
    You sittin by yourself mixed up
    But I tried, I tried to do the best I could
    Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough
    Cause when it's over, said **** done
    You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried
    Faster than a crackhead, can pawn yo' ****
    Willie D'll put a foot in you *****
    I sold ****, robbed folks, had to make ends meet
    Since 5th grade, I been up in these streets, tryin to get it
    Raised by a single mother, two sisters two brothers
    I used to think she didn't love us
    Cause she beat us so much, plus she came home drunk
    But every now and then she'd knock on wood, and say
    I tried to do the best that I could - and I believe her
    Cause she was treated evil out the box
    You can't get what you ain't got
    Momma I was young, hittin licks, started helpin you out
    'Bout the closest that you came to a man of the house
    I was talkin back, walkin through the do' gettin smacked
    You used to brag to your friends on how well I rapped
    We never really got along but when you took sick
    I was at your side 'til you died
    I wasn't the best son but I tried
    Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could
    Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough
    Cause when it's over, said **** done
    You sittin by yourself mixed up
    But I tried, I tried to do the best I could
    Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough
    Cause when it's over, said **** done
    You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried
    I've always been crook, never given up
    But the past few years has been really rough
    Felt like givin' up a couple of times
    Take a jump or plant a slug deep, up in my mind
    **** it I'm dyin', done wit strugglin' for mine
    Sleepin' on fans' floors, ain't no use to be lying
    Change my name for anonymity's sake
    But a four feet dwarf that be on television's hard to miss
    I get pissed over little ****, little **** drive me crazy
    Then I start thinkin 'bout my babies
    I can't go to jail, I can't die
    Who better to teach 'em 'bout this cruel world than I?
    Their mommas won't let me see 'em, I still pay my support
    Cause once you give life, life is bigger than yours
    Maybe I'm not all you expect me to be
    But when it's done and said ultimately, daddy tried
    Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could
    Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough
    Cause when it's over, said **** done
    You sittin by yourself mixed up
    But I tried, I tried to do the best I could
    Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough
    Cause when it's over, said **** done
    You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried
