I Try Lyrics by Them Chains

2023

[Chorus: ClockworC]
I try, but I don't know how to play nice
Could give a fuck 'bout what they like, I-I-I-I-I-I
Put me in a box, been rough around the edges
They ask my why I'm hating
Bitch, y'all just so unimpressive
I try, but I don't know how to play nice
I try, could give a fuck 'bout what they like
Put me in a box, been rough around the edges
They ask my why I'm hating
Bitch, y'all just so unimpressive

[Verse 1: ClockworC]
I've OD'd and I've flatlined
There's nobody on the other side
No monuments and no statues of men like me and that's alright
I ain't got an ounce of hate in my heart
Most of y'all just way too soft
I ain't gonna candy-coat the truth, no
That shit ain't gonna taste how you want
Never been no gentleman when I was selling, smoking that Pendleton
I couldn't play fair and let life win
She a deadly bitch and she trifling
This is it, stacking bricks in that boat that I roll through
Shit with holes in it
I can't cope within so I'm lashing out without love or sense
And my sentiment been "Fuck it all"
I still fuck the law but she broke my dick
Don't take much to get in the pit
But it costs a lot to get out again
Ugh, most claim real but under blue lights you gon' find that they counterfeits
You can't give an inch cuz they'll take a mile
And then fake a smile and act like we friends
But

[Chorus: ClockworC]
I try, but I don't know how to play nice
Could give a fuck 'bout what they like, I-I-I-I-I-I
Put me in a box, been rough around the edges
They ask my why I'm hating
Bitch, y'all just so unimpressive
I try, but I don't know how to play nice
I try, could give a fuck 'bout what they like
Put me in a box, been rough around the edges
They ask my why I'm hating
Bitch, y'all just so unimpressive

[Verse 2 ClockworC]
I don't want a ball and chain
The full circle's smallest, I can't afford
I don't wanna fornicate with hoes that ain't got a great credit score (Hell naw)
I don't want a candlelight
We need full exposure and I see my flaws (Check it out)
I tried to love everyone but I know very well that I'm no son of God
My human condition be critical
I be cynical, play for the same thing most y'all quit for
Jump for the fun, for the fall, for the pain
Or the contact, now man got no ripcord
And that shit that I lived through prove that God got a plan I know nothing about
You thinking your peon opinion mean something to me? You as dumb as you sound
You translucent, I ain't never losing
I be taking lessons and I teach 'em too
Talk yo bitch up out her Fruit of Looms
Do the shit that you could never do
I can't fake the funk, that shit too exhausting
Got a brand new bag and a whole wide world
Head on up and give it uncut
I got a lump sum and you could get it all

[Chorus: ClockworC]
I try, but I don't know how to play nice
Could give a fuck 'bout what they like, I-I-I-I-I-I
Put me in a box, been rough around the edges
They ask my why I'm hating
Bitch, y'all just so unimpressive
I try, but I don't know how to play nice
I try, could give a fuck 'bout what they like
Put me in a box, been rough around the edges
They ask my why I'm hating
Bitch, y'all just so unimpressive
