I Tried

What do you do
When you have been telling yourself you can reach your goal
And you're losing every day
What do you do when you, when you've lost your spirit, you've lost your job, you've lost everything
Life's been devastating

And I tried, oh my
And I tried, and I tried

Tried to be the better man don't beat
around the bush
Got no time for settling for sentimental mush

I've been working overtime to get us out of this predicament
predictability is detriment to my humility
Tryna catch a buzz to infinity
Got a feeling this'll be the end of me
For I can see I will pour my heart and soul and still won't fit the mold

What a common occurrence currently a burden
But if it all pays off
We'll go from livin' livid to livin' lavish I gotta have it
I know you don't back it
But I promise I'll bag it

And I tried, oh my
And I tried, and I tried
And I tried, oh my
And I tried, and I tried

I know I'm not your star student not a perfect pupil
Doesn't matter how hard I try
I still end up futile
This life is so brutal
I just want to be useful
Uselessness got me trapped in abyss

Sometimes I wonder if I would be missed
Then everything clicks

And I tried, oh my
And I tried, and I tried
And I tried, oh my
And I tried, and I tried

Whatever you're going through right now
If you can just muster up enough strength to hold on and hold out
If you do not quit, if you do not give up
It's comin' baby
I don't care how long it takes
Hold on
