Trying Hard (feat. Dallas Penn)

Hard body karate I be your senpai

Get a load of this guy Timbs tied Bed-Stuy

Stomp

My lifestyles an art form

I make art for em my talk is art forum

They call him Benjamin button Banneker

Body younger and handsomer mind older and wiser

Liver than the lava rising out the mountain top

Burning sages on the stages I’m about to rock

Bout to cop an all terrain and overland into the sun

I been grinding all day and I just woke up

I been hustling all day and just woke up

I been working all day and I just opened my eyes

I said a prayer god replied already

Get ready Dreams die when you let it

Press it when it getting heavy

Rock steady like Sysyphus

The missions to go missing with my chick

I'm just a...

Hook:

Black man trying hard to get it

Trying to make a dollar out of 15 cent

Trying to make it further than the places i been

Black man trying hard to get it

Out on the block

(Don't stop)

Out on the block

(dont stop)

Out on the block

Black man trying hard

V2:

Pray for protection that’s on god

To get it all got to give it all you got

Making collections strong arm rob

Write your story don’t get lost in the plot

They tried to bury me

But they didn’t know I was a seed

Ghetto rose that arose from the concrete

So sweet I keep a buzzy honey bee around me

Keep with thorns to protect my peace

When it’s time to eat

Face the sun rising in the east

Pull a cloud down to the ground take a drink

Not bothered in the least

Roots ten toes down in the deep

Peddling a heavenly release

Pluck my leaf and meet god

I'm a black man trying hard
