I Tried (Day to Day)

I tried to be a good man

But time just keeps on proving me wrong

I'm tired of strugglin' day to day

I won't work no more, that life don't pay

I tried to be a good man

But time just keeps on proving me wrong

I'm tired of strugglin' day to day

I won't work no more, that life don't pay

It's the 5th when they pick up the rent

Like a pit when I pick up they scent

Know they just want their money

But I'm actin' funny cuz truth is that been 'ready spent

Either your gas is on E

You struggle to eat or they puttin' you out on the street

Got me pumpin' my brakes when I hear that police

I tried to be a good man

But time just keeps on proving me wrong

I'm tired of strugglin' day to day

I won't work no more, that life don't pay

I tried to be a good man

But time just keeps on proving me wrong

I'm tired of strugglin' day to day

I won't work no more, that life don't pay

They judging your skin and clothes that you wear

From the moment you walk in that door

If you cannot buy it and your baby's crying

Believe that you're breaking the law

So you're doing what's right

Despite what you're doing is wrong

So just hold up your head

'Cuz I need you to know that your strong

I tried to be a good man

But time just keeps on proving me wrong

I'm tired of strugglin' day to day

I won't work no more, that life don't pay

I tried to be a good man

But time just keeps on proving me wrong

I'm tired of strugglin' day to day

I won't work no more, that life don't pay
