I Tried Video (MV)

I try, I try, mmm
I tried so many times, I try, I try
I tried so many times, I try, I try
I've cried so many times, I cry, I cry

I've tried so many times and cried so many nights, but i just keep it on the low they don't know how i feel inside
And all this pain i endured it left a nigga traumatized
Working everyday i know i won't ever be satisfied
But that's besides the point, cause' i'm still out here getting to it
Yeah i slowed down on promoting violence they don't like the music
If it ain't about the murder i swear these niggas don't listen
Boy don't play me like a pussy cause' I sing i'll get to tripping
Been starting to think there ain't no way that I'm gonna make it out just rapping
I heard some niggas want my head, I told my ma "won't let it happen"
They tryna catch your son in traffic
Casualty of all the madness
Never hesitate to blast it
I'm like Koby by the basket

I try, I try, mmm
I've tried so many times
Yeah yeah, I've tried

Yeah, I said I tried to give em' all my love they left me nun but all this pain
I had your heart up in my hands and watched that motherf*cker break
Been talking to the dead, it's like the only ones who understand
The trials and tribulations i had to conquer just to be a man
I put my heart on the shelf, my money first, no I ain't falling short
Refuse to be a victim of the system and end up in court
But i'm still drill for tony, please don't make me pop this door
And tell the crew i did my best i know i should've did some more

Been lost inside and i can't tell you where my mind went
And i just tell em' that i'm fine when they ask how i've been
I tried so many times it got me nowhere in the end
I took it to the chin when brody died, at times i wanna spin
Been rocking to the neck cause' i'm the only one who got my back
Say that's your brother and you love him would he say it back?
Like would he slide about your death or leave you in the past?
On instagram trolling these niggas never really lived like that
Only 18 but i know niggas who ain't make it this far
Yeah i lost homies all they knew was gang banging and war
I'm talking wake up early morning and post at the store
And let a opp role down his block he let off more then four
Been taking life for granted not knowing it can all vanish
Trauma left a nigga damaged it's making it hard to manage
You ever seen a nigga pop up out that cut and get to cramming?
I done tried so many times and I won't stop until i did it yeah

I try, I try, mmm
I tried so many times, I try, I try
I tried so many times, I try, I try
I've cried so many times, I cry, I cry

I've tried so many times and cried so many nights, but i just keep it on the low they don't know how i feel inside
And all this pain i endured it left a nigga traumatized
Working everyday i know i won't ever be satisfied
But that's besides the point, cause' i'm still out here getting to it
Yeah i slowed down on promoting violence they don't like the music
If it ain't about the murder i swear these niggas don't listen
Boy don't play me like a pussy cause' I sing i'll get to tripping
Been starting to think there ain't no way that I'm gonna make it out just rapping
I heard some niggas want my head, I told my ma "won't let it happen"
