Norwegian Breakfast Lyrics

[Chorus]
But I try
I try
I try
I try

[Verse 2]
An eye for an eye make the world go 'round
An eye for a guy make your girl go down (Uh)
She sip the shit like it's liquor
But coming out my God body, it's like the elixir
She trying to prolong life, I'm trying to prolong my dick and shit
I give it to her quick, that's a sad predicament
I swear I hate predicting shit, she said it taste magnificent
Sour like piff, but sweet like black licorice
Bitches, money, and weed, same shit, just ignorance
But how you expect me to act? Less black, less niggerish?

Fuck that, money control all my niggas, shit
And the white man stay trying to get a nigga rich
And turn us on each other, like, what we fighting for?
Need more whores, another Porsche, of course
Just grab a piece of the pie, three-point-one-four
159 dimes hit the floor and break they jaws
Make that kushy applause
Per second
If only these niggas knew it's rapping that got me stressing
Bitches popping off like my Smith and Wesson
[Chorus]
'Cause I try
I try
'Cause I try
I try

[Outro]
Ain't trying hard enough
Ain't trying hard enough

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
