I Tried (Born Free)

I tried I tried
And I tried I tried
I tried I tried
And I tried I tried

You try to be useful but they take your kindness and use you
Play you for a fool In the back they stab you
Mama say keep your eyes on them
Mama say you will know your enemies from your friend
When they should be building bridges they put up a fence
And if mi murder one ah dem better know it was in self defense
And if mi murder one ah dem better know it was in self defense
Murder don't make me murder them

I was born free a product of revolution
Born free, I was born free
I was born free a product of revolution
Born free, I was born free

Tried to assemble the army
I tried I tried
Tried to wake you zombies
I tried I tried
And dem still ignore me
So please accept di warning

I was born free a product of revolution
Born free, I was born free
I was born free a product of revolution
Born free, I was born free

You try to be useful but they take your kindness and use you
Play you for a fool In the back they stab you
Mama say keep your eyes on them
Mama say you will know your enemies from your friend
When they should be building bridges they put up a fence
And if mi murder one ah dem better know it was in self defense
And if mi murder one ah dem better know it was in self defense
Murder don't make me murder them
