I've Tried Ways (feat. Serocee)

Let's do it You say what's up? And I say up what? When most a these cats blow they life like snot I got most of what I got from not having a lot And gave most of what I got for a solitary shot So I look to the sky and I beg God forgive me Then I release these demons within me So let me begin we Lived life with roaches and rats in a one bed council flat As a matter of fact, whenever I grab the mic and rap I be speaking for my people on the corners and dat So I speak with linguistic speeches With a hope that it reaches Those that vote and can quote from my thesis I - I know the powers within me Why you wanna take it and bin me Cos you see that I've bin me from the first day that you seen me Why you wanna fuck wid my dreams, B Tell me what's up I've been trying I've been trying I've, I've been trying I've, I've been trying I've been trying I've been trying so hard But they can't stop me You can't stop me reaching for the top Thought you want me to flop And when they see me they be scheming For the day that I rot They probably hope I get popped Or do a crime and get knocked but It ain't gonna happen kid believe it or not So I ain't gonna stop till I reach where I'm reaching Cos even if I'm wheezing I'm breathing An' Mama never raised no fool, so I'm keeping my cool Use my brain as my weapon and the mic as my tool The words I speak are razor sharp Just to penetrate your brain skin flesh and your heart I try to reach parts none others can reach; I'm like that beer I quench your thirst for knowledge when I speak It ain't about being the best It 's about having to stamina to go when all the others take a rest This music is a mission it's no contest So as long as blood pump in my chest You dun know I'm gonna I've been trying I've been trying I've, I've been trying I've, I've been trying I've been trying I've been trying so hard But they can't stop me I've been trying I've been trying I've, I've been trying I've, I've been trying I've been trying I've been trying so hard But they can't stop me How can I phrase this? Most of these rappers nowadays would sell they whole soul To make it on the play list And then get played if you fit the bill of chatting murda murda murda, kill kill kill But time don't stand still, the world keeps turning Even as we get older we keep on learning We keep the fire burning And when we feel like we are fighting for nothing We just keep on surging Keep moving forward Don't look back Keep our mind on the future, one eye on the past But nothing lasts forever that saying is true It's like Karma things come back so watch what you do And I been doing this for years I had promises to make it But alas I wasn't prepared So I sit teary eyed All alone in my room hoping nobody can hear me cry Until the day that I die I never want to wonder what if And that's why I've got to try Until the day that I die I never want to wonder what if That's why I've got to try
