I Tried

[Chorus: Avery Storm]

Every day, something in my way, I try

Shit ain't going right, I try to see the light, I try

Ohh, it's like my eyes got a cover on 'em

And something holding me back

A better man, better level, better know I try

[Verse 1: Jadakiss]

Uh-huh, get off me

HA-HAAAEEH! Uh, yeah yo

Listen, I done played with the snakes in the grass

Paid for my mistakes I made in the past

Everybody ate when I came with the cash

At least I tried to ride the wave 'til it crashed

Same wood on the gun handle is on the dash

All the hoods that son ran through is on smash

They can't identify you with a mask

And the Bible'll tell you nothing is gonna last

The name of the game's survival

If you make it alive when you ride through they make it arrival

My boo is gon' ride, you know I'm gon' ride too

Make an M every day, I'm gon' try to - let's go

[Chorus: Avery Storm]

Every day, something in my way, I try

Shit ain't going right, I try to see the light, I try

Ohh, it's like my eyes got a cover on 'em

And something holding me back

A better man, better level, better know I try

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

Uh-huh, get off me

HA-HAAAEEH! Uh, yeah yo

I tried to tell niggas I'm willing to blast for it

I only try to give it to niggas that ask for it

Got them things on the scale, I'm still weighing 'em

Thought my dues was paid, I'm still paying 'em

Couple Eleanor's and the Goose, I'm still Bay'ing 'em

Semi's and the fully's, know that the truth stay with him

Wolves and gorillas is loose, so don't play with him

Something's holding him back, nothing that you could say to him

Popped champagne with Biggie at the Palladium

Put that good hawk work in with the titaniums

Shit switch around when them heats get fired

And ya peeps just died, but at least he tried - let's go

[Chorus: Avery Storm]

Every day, something in my way, I try

Shit ain't going right, I try to see the light, I try

Ohh, it's like my eyes got a cover on 'em

And something holding me back

A better man, better level, better know I try

[Verse 3: Jadakiss]

Uh-huh, get off me, HA-HAAAEEH!

Uh, yeah - watch the game get tooken over

I'm still on the same side of the fence, I'm just looking over

A solider, from the gravel to the grass

To the obstacles in life I traveled in the past

Whether I'm holding a mic or holding a MAC

It's like an invisible force is holdin me back

But I ain't letting go of my pride

After I get the dough I'll slide, better know I tried

Let's go, uh

[Chorus: Avery Storm]

Every day, something in my way, I try

Shit ain't going right, I try to see the light, I try

Ohh, it's like my eyes got a cover on 'em

And something holding me back

A better man, better level, better know I try

[Bridge: Avery Storm]

Here come another day up on me

Put the pressure on me, here we go again ahhh

I try to do what's right when life is so wrooooong

I want a better way, I see a better day

'Nuff what the people said, I want a better me

God knows that I try but time won't wait for me

[Chorus: Avery Storm]

Every day, something in my way, I try

Shit ain't going right, I try to see the light, I try

Ohh, it's like my eyes got a cover on 'em

And something holding me back

A better man, better level, better know I try

[Outro: Avery Storm]

I tried, hey!
