Текст песни: I Tried + перевод

Every day, somethin in my way, I try

Shit ain’t goin right, I try to see the light, I try

Ohh, it’s like my eyes got a cover on 'em, and somethin holdin me back

A better man, better level, better know I try

Uh-huh, get off me, AH-HAH! Uh, yeah yo

Listen, I done played with the snakes in the grass

Paid for my mistakes I made in the past

Everybody ate when I came with the cash

At least I tried to ride the wave 'til it crashed

Same wood on the gun handle is on the dash

All the hoods that son ran through is on smash

They can’t identify you with a mask

And the bible’ll tell you nothin is gonna last

The name of the game’s survival

If you make it alive when you ride through they make it arrival

My boo is gon' ride, you know I’m gon' ride too

Make an M every day, I’m gon' try to — let’s go

Uh-huh, get off me, AH-HAH! Uh, yeah yo

I tried to tell niggaz I’m willin to blast for it

I only try to give it to niggaz that ask for it

Got them things on the scale, I’m still weighin 'em

Thought my dues was paid, I’m still payin 'em

Couple Eleanor’s and the Goose, I’m still Bay’in 'em

Semi’s and the fully’s, know that the truth stay with him

Wolves and gorillas is loose, so don’t play with him

Somethin’s holdin him back, nothin that you could say to him

Popped champagne with Biggie at the Palladium

Put that good hawk work in with the titaniums

Shit switch around when them heats get fired

And ya peeps just died, but at least he tried — let’s go

Uh-huh, get off me, AH-HAH!

Uh, yeah — watch the game get tooken over

I’m still on the same side of the fence, I’m just lookin over

A solider, from the gravel to the grass

to the obstacles in life I traveled in the past

Whether I’m holdin a mic or holdin a mac

It’s like an invisible force is holdin me back

But I ain’t lettin go of my pride

After I get the dough I’ll slide, better know I tried

Let’s go, uh

Here come another day up on me

Put the pressure on me, here we go again ahhh

I try to do what’s right when life is so wrooooong

I want a better way, I see a better day

'Nuff what the people said, I want a better me

God knows that I try but time won’t wait for me

I tried, hey!
