I Try

Lyrics

• Verso 1

  Sometimes I live my life
  Like I got something to prove
  Get caught up in opinions
  I got so much to lose
  If I don’t perform well, talk well
  Give the people what they want
  Or Imma catch hell
  

• Verso 2

  Don’t talk to loud about your struggles
  Try to pray through
  Got that tight smile I wear
  Qhen I’m tryin’ not to be rude
  Because I honor well
  Yea I love well
  Give the people what they want
  Or Imma catch hell
  

• Coro

  And I try
  But I’m tired
  I’m shedding performance
  Yes, slowly but surely
  I try
  But I’m tired
  I’m grown but still growing
  Yes slowly but surely
  I try
  

• Verso 3

  Said it right but
  Everybody’s happy but me
  I wore it so well it
  Covered up my identity
  Because I pretend so well
  But I question as well
  Tell the people what They want
  To hear or catch hell
  

• Verso 4

  There’s only so much
  I can take
  And I’m spilling over raging
  Waters making me free
  And I don’t mind well
  Guess I’ll find myself
  People only want
  The narrative that sells, well
  

• Coro

  And I try
  But I’m tired
  I’m shedding performance
  Yes slowly but surely
  I try
  I’m grown but still growing
  Yes, slowly but surely
  I try
  

• Puente

  Performance can’t buy your love
  You can try but it never will be enough
  Performance can’t buy your love
  You can try but it never will be enough
  

• Coro

  And I try
  But I’m tired
  I’m shedding performance
  Yes slowly but surely
  I try
  But I’m tired
  I’m grown but still growing
  Yes, slowly but surely
  I try
