Geto Boys - I Tried lyrics
[Scarface] She don't wanna be with me no mo' Ain't her fault she just tired of this dumb shit that she don't know Whether to, throw in the towel or if he gon' grow And if he do, where is he gon' go? Got a letter from an old friend, I read it and cried When he told me that his girl just died Right out of the blue, breast cancer, wasn't nothin to do Now I'm sittin here and thinkin of you Tryin to come to amends, cause really I done wanted you in You the only one I trust as a friend I know I'm on my last leg limpin with this bullshit written But I still gotta bring it to light Spent half of a lifetime missin cause I would not listen Confused about my wrong and my rights They tellin me that time heals wounds though This wound gon' need some stitches; I got testimony for niggaz You doin what you do but when the shoe gets flipped Standin on the other foot got your boots and shit When you back up and analyze, fix shit and finalize Before you leave the shit alone just try Maybe there's somethin you can do to rectify what's did And plus you gotta think of the kids That's kinda just the way life is, you either gotta live or you die At least that I can say that I tried [Chorus: Scarface] Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough Cause when it's over, said shit done You sittin by yourself mixed up But I tried, I tried to do the best I could Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough Cause when it's over, said shit done You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried [Willie D] Faster than a crackhead, can pawn yo' shit Willie D'll put a foot in you bitch I sold dope, robbed folks, had to make ends meet Since 5th grade, I been up in these streets, tryin to get it Raised by a single mother, two sisters two brothers I used to think she didn't love us Cause she beat us so much, plus she came home drunk But every now and then she'd knock on wood, and say I tried to do the best that I could - and I believe her Cause she was treated evil out the box You can't get what you ain't got Momma I was young, hittin licks, started helpin you out 'Bout the closest that you came to a man of the house I was talkin back, walkin through the do' gettin smacked You used to brag to your friends on how, well I rapped We never really got along but when you took sick I was at your side 'til you died I wasn't the best son but I tried [Chorus] [Bushwick Bill] I've always been crook, never given up But the past few years has been really rough Felt like givin up a couple of times Take a jump or plant a slug deep, up in my mind Fuck it I'm dyin, done wit strugglin for mine Sleepin on fans, knowin there ain't no use to me lyin Change my name for anonymity's sake But a four feet dwarf that be on television's hard to miss I get pissed over little shit, little shit drive me crazy Then I start thinkin 'bout my babies I cain't go to jail, I cain't die Who better to teach 'em 'bout this cruel world than I? Their mommas won't let me see 'em, I still pay my support Cause once you give life, life is bigger than yours Maybe I'm not all you expect me to be But when it's done and said ultimately, daddy tried [Chorus] |
