I Truly Did

I tried my best and and look what I got, everything I need

I tried my best but in the end I still think it wasn't me

I must have an angel watching out over my head

If it wasn't for luck and circumstances, I would've been dead

But luckily I'm blessed enough to know the people that I do

Even if I leave them in the dust, I know they'll trust it's what I need to do

I tried my hardest and I always will, even if there's nothing left to prove

Aim to win the game of life especially if there's nothing left to do

I tried

I truly did

I truly did

I tried

I truly did

I truly did

I got the perfect picture, so I might as well go paint it

Everyone sits around acting like they should be famous

But they ain't make shit

And I hate it

Let's face it

Acting complacent is getting basic

The new shit don't hit the same

And the old shit is boring

I'm scared I'm in a new chapter

While everyone I know is snoring

They dreaming about touring

But they won't write a song

Think about the perks of the process

But don't think how long

You could do it too

Just take a step that's not laced

I can see it in the eyes of your face

You ain't slept, you're starting to waste

Wasted potential and talent is a god damn fucking shame

Driving from the back seat but still trying to make your own lane

You can fake it 'till you make it, sure

But what about pride?

Dignity is felt now, not sure about after you've died

Sure you can fall, but at least you can say you tried

At the end of the day though, you're the only one in the mirror who knows your lies

I tried (so try)

I truly did

I truly did

I

I'm trying but I keep stumbling

This life of a bitch of an end zone, I keep fumbling

Think I'm trying my best

I keep on slipping, gotta give it a rest
