Lyrics

Throughout life, we will deal with things

That we have no control over

But long as we try, we will be successful

DJ Advance

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to put faith in my struggle, I tried to be humble

I tried

I tried to be real with these bitches and show 'em my feelings

I tried

I tried to show love to these ****, I tried to fuck with 'em

I tried

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to put faith in my struggle, I tried to be humble

I tried

I tried to be real with these bitches and show 'em my feelings

I tried

I tried to show love to these ****, I tried to fuck with 'em

I tried

I guess I'ma go get this motherfucking money myself

I guess I was meant to ride solo with nobody help

My ****, my ****, I love 'em like nobody else

I put on my dream like a hat and I thought it to death

Oh how I feel so alive

Finally seen it in Try

Finally see me in the sky

You could be flying too if you put all that bullshit to the side

Mama would lie, tell me stay humble

If I know what's coming, just wait on my time

Worry 'bout how he got his, thinking '

Bout how she got hers, won't get you a dime

Now I'm in the big boy shit, damn, wish

A **** woulda told me this back in 2005

**** woulda been getting rich, but I guess it

Makes sense now that a **** sat back and tried

When I take a hit of this piff, I can't help

But think about how funny this shit be inside

Tables gon' turn, bitches and bridges gon' burn

**** gon' hate on your earn

My ****, I tried

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to put faith in my struggle, I tried to be humble

I tried

I tried to be real with these bitches and show 'em my feelings

I tried

I tried to show love to these ****, I tried to fuck with 'em

I tried

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to put faith in my struggle, I tried to be humble

I tried

I tried to be real with these bitches and show 'em my feelings

I tried

I tried to show love to these ****, I tried to fuck with 'em

I tried

I guess when you down, the only direction is up

I'm on the way up

I wasted my time staying down, why'd I give a fuck?

Shouldn't have gave a fuck

You loyal to people who won't even answer your call

You give all your love to the ones who don't love you at all

How could I feel like a boss?

Trying and trying when nobody else tried at all

Been doing this shit for so long

And finally realized it wasn't too real all along

I roll me a blunt, pack me a bowl of my bong

Get high and forget 'bout what's wrong

The days in the basement made me who I am

I'm so glad I wrote all of them songs

Cause now I'm in the big boy shit, damn, wish a ****

Woulda told me this when I was still in the park

Woulda been a cakewalk through the park, but a ****

Probably wouldn't know how to fall down and crawl

Then it went down, but it ain't nothing cause

I know how to bounce the fuck back up and ball

Word to my mom, word to my grandma and

Pops, I tried to do great for 'em all

My ****, I tried

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to put faith in my struggle, I tried to be humble

I tried

I tried to be real with these bitches and show 'em my feelings

I tried

I tried to show love to these ****, I tried to fuck with 'em

I tried

I tried to turn nothing to something and turn up my hustle

I tried

I tried to put faith in my struggle, I tried to be humble

I tried

I tried to be real with these bitches and show 'em my feelings

I tried

I tried to show love to these ****, I tried to fuck with 'em

I tried
