Geto Boys - I Tried слова песни
[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 knowWhether to, throw in the towel or if he gon` growAnd if he do, where is he gon` go?Got a letter from an old friend, I read it and criedWhen he told me that his girl just diedRight out of the blue, breast cancer, wasn`t nothin to doNow I`m sittin here and thinkin of youTryin to come to amends, cause really I done wanted you inYou the only one I trust as a friendI know I`m on my last leg limpin with this bullshit writtenBut I still gotta bring it to lightSpent half of a lifetime missin cause I would not listenConfused about my wrong and my rightsThey tellin me that time heals wounds thoughThis wound gon` need some stitches; I got testimony for niggazYou doin what you do but when the shoe gets flippedStandin on the other foot got your boots and shitWhen you back up and analyze, fix shit and finalizeBefore you leave the shit alone just tryMaybe there`s somethin you can do to rectify what`s didAnd plus you gotta think of the kidsThat`s kinda just the way life is, you either gotta live or you dieAt least that I can say that I tried[Chorus: Scarface]Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I couldSometimes I guess my best ain`t good... enoughCause when it`s over, said shit doneYou sittin by yourself mixed upBut I tried, I tried to do the best I couldSometimes I guess my best ain`t good... enoughCause when it`s over, said shit doneYou sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried[Willie D]Faster than a crackhead, can pawn yo` shitWillie D`ll put a foot in you bitchI sold dope, robbed folks, had to make ends meetSince 5th grade, I been up in these streets, tryin to get itRaised by a single mother, two sisters two brothersI used to think she didn`t love usCause she beat us so much, plus she came home drunkBut every now and then she`d knock on wood, and sayI tried to do the best that I could - and I believe herCause she was treated evil out the boxYou can`t get what you ain`t gotMomma I was young, hittin licks, started helpin you out`Bout the closest that you came to a man of the houseI was talkin back, walkin through the do` gettin smackedYou used to brag to your friends on how, well I rappedWe never really got along but when you took sickI was at your side `til you diedI wasn`t the best son but I tried[Chorus][Bushwick Bill]I`ve always been crook, never given upBut the past few years has been really roughFelt like givin up a couple of timesTake a jump or plant a slug deep, up in my mindFuck it I`m dyin, done wit strugglin for mineSleepin on fans, knowin there ain`t no use to me lyinChange my name for anonymity`s sakeBut a four feet dwarf that be on television`s hard to missI get pissed over little shit, little shit drive me crazyThen I start thinkin `bout my babiesI cain`t go to jail, I cain`t dieWho better to teach `em `bout this cruel world than I?Their mommas won`t let me see `em, I still pay my supportCause once you give life, life is bigger than yoursMaybe I`m not all you expect me to beBut when it`s done and said ultimately, daddy tried[Chorus]
