I TRIED

[Intro: CJ Fly with OSHUN]

Statik Selektah

Fly

Hey-hey, hey-hey

Hey-hey, hey-hey

Hey-hey, hey-hey

Hey-hey, hey-hey

[Chorus: CJ Fly with Thandi]

Swear you got me speechless, don't know what to say

Yeah, thought it would get better, we've had darker days

Loved you way too much for me to walk away

Everything you did ain't make me wanna stay

[Verse 1: CJ Fly]

Know you probably hate me now

Ain't been said, but I could tell

I could see you ain't been well

Actin' out, you ain't yourself

Drinking more, that ain't gon' help

That ain't too good for your health

Played with the hands I was dealt

Couldn't fight how I had felt

[Refrain: CJ Fly]

I gave you all I had, uh-huh

You left me holdin' scraps, uh-huh

Now there's no comin' back, uh-huh

And I'm the one that's sad, uh-huh

Ain't want to waste my breathe, uh-uh

Can't take back what you said, uh-huh

I won't ever forget, uh-uh

I don't have no regrets

[Chorus: Thandi]

Swear you got me speechless, don't know what to say

Thought it would get better we've had darker days

Loved you way too much for me to walk away

Everything you did ain't make me wanna stay

[Verse 2: Niambi]

Should I flow like the river do?

Or should I burn hot like my spirit do?

You know I'm hot-headed, sorry I offended you

I'm really tryin' to be spiritual

But, I'm really tired of defendin' you

Why you cryin'? Yo, you know that you been bitter too

So walk it like you talk, all that goin' off at the mouth, shut it off

All that disregard for my heart, Lord

[Refrain: Thandi]

I gave you all I had, mhm

And you gave nothin' back, mhm

And there's no comin' back, mhm

And you the one that's sad, ah

Ain't gonna waste my breath

I remember what you said

I won't ever forget, uh

I hope you regret this

[Verse 3: Niambi]

Yo, I don't want this anymore, I can't believe I said it

You looked me in my eye and lied, I knew you meant it

You got my mind fucked up, I'm lost and feel demented

Them level of the disrespect has been unprecedented, damn

I tried my best to ride, but you were never focused

I kept my thoughts inside, and now I'm lookin' hopeless

So now it's time to get out, like Get Out

Your love is my demise

If I'm wise I'll realize you been pullin' me down

You a clown and a child and I ain't your momma

I can't live with this drama, we just smoke marijuana

Fuck and argue like a sauna, heated

I feel defeated and I know you do too, this ain't for me and you

We've become so consumed and we never in tune

I don't know what to do with you, uh

[Chorus: OSHUN]

Swear you got me speechless, don't know what to say

Thought it would get better, we've had darker days

Loved you way too much for me to walk away

Everything you did ain't make me wanna stay

[Outro: CJ Fly]

I tried, I tried

I tried my best just to work things out

I tried my best just to make things work

I've cried, I've cried

I've cried because I ain't wanna feel hurt

I've cried because I ain't wanna feel hurt
