I Try

[Intro]

(Wheezy beats)

[Chorus]

I came up and I ain’t have shit, I swear

I was poor so, had to get rich

I stayed down with my crew, I ain’t never switched

Stood ten toes on my two, I ain’t ask for shit

I’ma real one, I, I always try, I always try

Covered my side up, scenes homicides, yeah yeah

Too many die, yeah yeah, talkin' to Messiah

[Verse 1]

Always gon' stay true, I’m stayin' true, yeah

I’m stayin' true, yeah

Did this shit for Troup, yeah yeah

Stick all out the roof, you ain’t dare

We wan' clear the smoke out the air

Ain’t nobody talkin', they don’t care

OG lost his life and no one fell

We done took a loss, another L

They gon' sit and pray that we fail

Can’t believe the shit that I hear

I can’t shed no more tears

I ain’t never showed them no fear

Prison system took all my peers

Only got a few real ones left

[Chorus]

I came up and I ain’t have shit, I swear

I was poor so, had to get rich

I stayed down with my crew, I ain’t never switched

Stood ten toes on my two, I ain’t ask for shit

I’ma real one, I, I always try, I always try

Covered my side up, scenes homicides, yeah yeah

Too many die, yeah yeah, talkin' to Messiah

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I feel like I don’t need shit

I don’t need a nigga or a bitch

I don’t need opinion or permission

I don’t need your hand or assist

I don’t need your face recognition

I don’t need your name on my list

Need a label pay for my hits

Do this on my own, still don’t do it just for me

I gotta feed my family

I ain’t doin' shit on GP

I done sit and blowed a QP

Remember I was broke and on E

Now I sit and go as I please

[Chorus]

I came up and I ain’t have shit, I swear

I was poor so, had to get rich

I stayed down with my crew, I ain’t never switched

Stood ten toes on my two, I ain’t ask for shit

I’ma real one, I, I always try, I always try

Covered my side up, scenes homicides, yeah yeah

Too many die, yeah yeah, talkin' to Messiah
