Do What I Can

I've been taking records of the money that I spend
living smarter is getting harder
and don't wanna be the same kid that I've been

Sure it's easy from a distance, different story on the line
try your best to deliver, and surprised if it works every time

I do what I can, I do what I can
Lord, I do what I can to understand
where you're coming from

Nowadays I only hear from my ex on the back of the rent checks
that I write on the first
And yeah I guess it hurts, but I hurt her worse
Oh she says it's the least I can do if I don't wanna go down
as just a bad, bad man

I do what I can
I do what I can
Lord, I do what I can to understand
where you're coming from

And I've been trying to understand it, looking for the signs
but how can you see what is right when love and justice are blind
And it comes back to that one fact that you always knew
truth comes to those who's love always shows in the night
oh I swear, I swear I'll make it right

I do what I can, I do what I can
Lord, I do what I can to understand
where you're coming from
show me where you're coming from
