欧阳靖 - I Tried
You know I had to say something
Jin do I wait for the beat to drop
Or do I start here
Check it forget waitin'
This ain't a feature this is my tape
Time waits for no man
So why the heck should I wait
I could probably run this town if I'd like
But I'm straight
Take a walk in my shoes if you choose size 8
You might just feel the presence of the
Holy spirit
They say I'm a changed man
If the shoe fits wear it
I used to think that this was just all entertainment
So I did and said anything
I could get away with
Any consequences
I'm the one that's gotta live with it
The last thing
I'm tryna be now is a hypocrite
Cause it boils down to way more than
What I write ultimately
I'm defined by how
I live my life
Knew I had to change my ways and believe in what's right
'Til this day
I still got my own demons to fight
If I had to do it on my own no doubt
I'd be a goner
But I will be victorious cause
God is in my corner
The freedom of expression is truly a gift
It can be used to destroy or used to uplift
If I had to list my flaws there's plenty
I could mention
But through it all
I never had any bad intentions
Never thought the youth would take heed to
What I say first and foremost
I apologize for leadin' you astray
Movin' right along
Now's the time to right the wrongs
So I think long and hard before
I start to write a song
Cause as an artist for every track that you create
Ain't no way to know the type of impact you can make
On one person or society as a whole
I'm hopin' through these lines you can see inside my soul
Take a long hard look and you'll start to see the light
It's an autobiographical story of my life
On the cover just a plain book here's the missin' factor
I'm still the same book y'all just on a different chapter
The next generation is headed for disaster
Rappers blamin' parents and the parents blame the rappers
A lack of substance
What you hear is so hollow
I feel you you ain't here to be nobody's role model
I know you're tryna eat no lie so am I
You shouldn't be offended
If what I say just don't apply
We need more of the truth than the game instead of less
It's bigger than
Hiphop dead
Prez said it best
You're probly listenin'
Like who's this guy to tell me how to live
You're right
I don't know you but
I know I'm positive
If it's in my power to extend a helpin' hand
Not even as a rapper but as a fellow man
This is good versus evil it's time to choose a side
I will never be perfect but at least
I know I tried
Uh say something
