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
