I’ve Tried Lyrics by Vonte Brown

A Night Being Vonte

2020

I’ve Tried
[Chorus]
See I’ve tried suit and tie, working 9 to 5
Tried taking advice from the older guys
I’m just too addicted to getting fresh and fly
So committed to the fact we on the last life
Tried flipping the burgers, serving the fries
Tried nice guy: “Hi,” “My pleasure,” “Bye”
I’m just too addicted to getting fresh and fly
So committed to the fact we on the last life
[Verse 1]
You see it’s all on the table, I pray I’m able
To steadily hold it down like a cradle
Or likе you holding a mail
See they telling you tales
I flip thе coin, if it’s tails
That means you going to hell
So let us weigh the scale
He sold his soul for the figures
And well, what do you figure?
I wish you well, my nigga
Hell is only getting bigger
I think I’ve seen it all
But man, I far from know it all
I pray my angels fight these demons
And they hold them off
But everything I know I’ve tried
So hope is all
They could claim on their taxes
The way they wrote me off
You would think I was a candle
The way they blow me off
You would think I couldn’t handle
It, but I ain’t soft
I’m like a cough in Corona season
I got ‘em nervous
See on the surface
It would never seem like it was worth it
I tried this and that
And this and that ain’t never perfect
I take the good with the bad
And find a way to work it
[Chorus]
See I’ve tried suit and tie, working 9 to 5
Tried taking advice from the older guys
I’m just too addicted to getting fresh and fly
So committed to the fact we on the last life
Tried flipping the burgers, serving the fries
Tried nice guy: “Hi,” “My pleasure,” “Bye”
I’m just too addicted to getting fresh and fly
So committed to the fact we on the last life
[Verse 2]
From bussing dishes to having my own business
I’m focusing on us winning, not waiting around for census
Listen, a thousand two hundred ain’t gonna ever cut it
That’d have you living off six-piece nuggets
See, I just need this money before I kick the bucket
So my kids in the future ain’t living off a budget
I’m trying to cause some ruckus
Y’all like Uncle Ruckus
Don’t want your people to eat
They drive around in cutlass
My God, that’s so disgusting, we in 2020
Use your credit as some leverage, you’ll make penny plenty
Don’t try to use your cash or profit, that’s like penny Penny
You may as well collect the check, cooking work at Denny’s
If you could turn into a mogul using business credit
Look at all these corporations, they ain’t using debit
You need a company in case you didn’t get the message
That’ll relieve the liability, no second guessing
[Chorus]
See I’ve tried suit and tie, working 9 to 5
Tried taking advice from the older guys
I’m just too addicted to getting fresh and fly
So committed to the fact we on the last life
Tried flipping the burgers, serving the fries
Tried nice guy: “Hi,” “My pleasure,” “Bye”
I’m just too addicted to getting fresh and fly
So committed to the fact we on the last life
