Lyrics

I'm trying to do it man, I'm trying to make it man
I'm trying to make a change, take a stand
It ain't working, guess I need to change my game plan
Really all I can say is that I'm trying
I'm trying to do it man, I'm trying to make it man
I'm trying to make a change, take a stand
It ain't working, guess I need to change my game plan
Really all I can say is that I'm trying
I've been trying to make my way in this life
I keep it humble but still I'm only met with more scars and strife
Wrong from right, it's much harder than seeing this light
Struggle at my job when I can make twice at night
But I got two strikes, one more and I'm in jail
At least there I wouldn't have to worry about paying my bills
Sometimes I sit alone with a fist of pills
Thinking to myself, "I wanna end this shit for real"
But what will mama do when her only strength is gone?
Without each other, the other probably won't live that long
So I wear this mask of a man so strong
And save my tears for nights when I'm at home alone
I'm a good man, karma's gotta kick in soon
And I'll accept cash, preferably before the rent is due
I ain't counting on it, probably just a cent or two
At least I got this pen and pad so I can vent to you
I'm trying to do it man, I'm trying to make it man
I'm trying to make a change, take a stand
It ain't working, guess I need to change my game plan
Really all I can say is that I'm trying
I'm trying to do it man, I'm trying to make it man
I'm trying to make a change, take a stand
It ain't working, guess I need to change my game plan
Really all I can say is that I'm trying
When I was a little kid I had it all planned out
I wanna get this money and buy moms a new house
And retire by the time I reach the age of 25
Reality has a way of turning dreams into lies
So all I got now is my will and my strength
And this pen and my thoughts, trying hard not to blink
'Cause I might miss something, and I might blow my chance
Between daycare and rent it's kinda hard to advance
And the credit card payments, new tires for the vehicle
The lawn mower broke, and my bank account is critical
So the grass gets taller, but the green keeps shrinking
No matter how hard I try it seems like I keep sinking
In quicksand, but shit man, my break has gotta come
I gotta see some progress before the year is done
So I keep pushing along and stop complaining and whining
Just because I'm not succeeding doesn't mean I'm not trying
I'm trying to do it man, I'm trying to make it man
I'm trying to make a change, take a stand
It ain't working, guess I need to change my game plan
Really all I can say is that I'm trying
I'm trying to do it man, I'm trying to make it man
I'm trying to make a change, take a stand
It ain't working, guess I need to change my game plan
Really all I can say is that I'm trying
