Try Lyrics by Mark Battles, Keara Alyse, Cozz

2020

[Intro: Mark Battles]
Just keep tryin'
Try

[Verse 1: Mark Battles]
They say you are what you eat
Well, nigga, I'm a vegan
And I'ont eat no meat so I ain't beefin' for no reason
I try to get the peace but keep a piece in case they schemin'
So if you really want the beef, I might leave your ass steamin'
Life cold, it's so anemic, on the road, I must be dreamin'
In that Hellcat speedin', it be screamin' like a demon
I pray because I need it
Used to cheat because I'm greedy
She said, "Fuck me like you need me, don't givе a fuck 'bout how you treat me" (Woah)
My heart is so еntangled, my thoughts is so uneasy (Yeah)
When you got that cash money, bitches treat you like you Weezy
But it's more beneath me, hope that ain't the way you see me (No)
My granny started cryin' when she saw my face on TV
Tryna get us out the trenches, niggas play like this shit easy
Well, my nephew just got murdered, you can't wash that with detergent
God, I know life can't be perfect but you left my family hurtin'
Need the key to break these curses, I can't find that in no churches
I've been searchin', shit, I'm tryin'

[Chorus: Mark Battles]
I'm tryin'
Sometimes, I feel I might just lose my mind
If I say I'm good, I'm lyin'
I just got so good at hidin', but I'm tryin', shit, I'm tryin'
Just know I'm tryin'
Sometimes, I feel I might just lose my mind
If I say I'm good, I'm lyin'
I just got so good at hidin', but I'm tryin', shit, I'm tryin'

[Verse 2: Cozz]
Ayy, '93 baby with 1942 to take this pain away
I look back at my life to figure out how I became this way
Backstabbers day-to-day, bullets singing like Macy Gray
I try to say goodbye, but I toke, knowin' this place ain't safe
Something like an ankle bracelet, brainwashed by the block, I stain it
Grandmama and pops complainin', tell me how can we not get faded?
Tell me not how to contemplate 'bout robbin' places
Have you seen our compensation?
How can we not risk a long sentence? Let's have that conversation
Cops is tasin', another compilation of our population gettin' dominated by that pot of racists
Another life confiscated over minor violations
Dreams like food that's 'bout to spoil, boy, I gotta make it
Lord, I done prayed for better days that I ain't seen yet
I only talk to God 'cause He gon' keep my secrets
Ain't gon' lie but plenty times I cry
Before I die, just know that I try

[Chorus: Mark Battles & Keara Alyse]
I'm tryin'
Sometimes, I feel I might just lose my mind
If I say I'm good, I'm lyin'
I just got so good at hidin', but I'm tryin', shit, I'm tryin'
Just know I'm tryin' (I've been trying)
Sometimes, I feel I might just lose my mind
If I say I'm good, I'm lyin'
I just got so good at hidin', but I'm tryin', shit, I'm tryin'

[Outro: Keara Alyse & Mark Battles ]
Just keep tryin', keep tryin' (Oh, oh, oh)
Just a little more time
Just a little more time
Try (Oh, oh, oh)
Try (Oh, oh, oh)
