Stop Trying

Had enough of all the fruitcakes
Square-faced, fast-paced denial
Ought to settle down in a slow space
Kicking up my young bones begging me to leave the city behind

And stop trying
Maybe stop trying

Stuck in the belly of a rat race
Where the only end game would be to get the gatekeepers aligned
Have them busted open by a brickkade
Crushing the judges who's been bought
And paid to keep the old elusion alive
That if we just keep trying
We'll be alright

I'm trying, I'm trying, im trying, im trying

To fit into a manmade man caved world
Where patriarchy is the only gatekeeper picking from the line
Of underpaid unemployed female workers trying to avoid
The mansplaining, the ass gazing
Power chasing pigs, pigs that just ain't trying

No, they ain't trying
Better start trying
Stop trying

Im trying, im trying, im trying im trying im trying trying

(Not enough)
I'm no longer flying
(Not enough)
My sex redefining
(Not enough)
Been exercising
(Not enough)
Accepted that i'm dying
(Not enough)
I'm realizing

Stop trying
