TRIED TO LOVE THE STREETS Lyrics by D.Tall

2020

My Best Friend used to ball for the Mavericks
We stood on every club couch in Dallas nightlife savage
Whole lotta status, Gold Bottles models and druggs
I thought that fast life clout was really authentic love
Young and Naïve, blew amounts you wouldn't believe
Throwin Cheddar at DG's and I ain't talkin bout Cheese
I'm still hung over them memories they're everlasting
I know the lord was prolly watching us and blew a gasket
Live and learn money burned we ain't have not direction
Now I look myself in the eye when I see my reflection and think
You tried to love the streets
The streets ain't love you back but God's grace gone keep you in tact so don't slack yuh
Tried to love you, Tried to love you but I can't
I tried to love the streets
Wrong about you, Wrong about you, Understand
I tried to love the streets
Tried to love you, Tried to love you but I can't
I tried to love the streets
Wrong about you, Wrong about you, Understand
But that ain't even me
The main goal was to be what's poppin
By any means plenty schemes keep at whole lotta options
Like Cheesecake Factory, Flyin around rocking them shows
Bought the old school Impala on 4's to run the streets
I had a kid by a girl I just met that year
I gotta five star tatted right behind my ear
I ate an Edible before I hit the stage in L.A
Forgot my lyrics I lying I couldn't feel my face
I was young dumb and lost trying to be the boss
Blinded by society and sin I couldn't see the cross
Now I got the sauce so I floss wit a purpose
Streets a turn you to a clown like they do in the circus yuh
Tried to love you, Tried to love you but I can't
I tried to love the streets
Wrong about you, Wrong about you, Understand
I tried to love the streets
Tried to love you, Tried to love you but I can't
I tried to love the streets
Wrong about you, Wrong about you, Understand
But that ain't even me
12 Dirty tried to pitch me a charge
Over some kush and some pills that I promise wasn't ours
The gun was mine, Texas law license to carry
Yea they tried it but I got out situation was scary
Thank you JESUS. I know he got a plan for my life
Cause I be scoring like Kawhi when I'm rolling them dice
Til the day I'm dead and gone I'm trying to do what's right
And I'm a fail but I know that's aight this is life
Tried to love you, Tried to love you but I can't
I tried to love the streets
Wrong about you, Wrong about you, Understand
I tried to love the streets
Tried to love you, Tried to love you but I can't
I tried to love the streets
Wrong about you, Wrong about you, Understand
But that ain't even me
