Don’t Try Lyrics

[Verse: 1]

They say, They say, They say, another day another dollar/
But this minimum wage ain't paying me either way so I don’t bother/
With those small things, like doing it right/
My job ain't been doing me right I feel like I’ve ruined my life/
So now I’m vexed, fumid, I’ve had it up to here/
My days of paying tax is over, acknowledge me has been there/
Yeah, run to the border, get oxycotin/
Imma flip it to some spoiled kids for some exponential profit/
I’ve been…


[Hook]

Living life one day at a time/
But I don’t even try, I don’t even try/
It's sink or swim and I wanna survive/
But I don’t even try, I don’t even try/(x2)


[Verse: 2]

I’ve been tryna run with the torch/
But now I just torched a cig and so I’m stuck on the porch/
I’ve been doing this here, for the love of the sport/
But now I need my back scratched so I just love your support/
I’m a creature of habit wondering what may come/
Of this comfy routine, if my face stays numb/
Never had a fake friend, I’d like to make some/
I’m deep enough to act shallow, smart enough to play dumb/
It makes life so simple/
Got some theories bout myself but man, I’d like more info/
I keep avoiding all the roots of my problems/
While I run from success so I can prove I’m just common/
I've been…

[Hook]


[Verse: 3]

Moving along at whatever direction the wind blows/
Looking out my window, thinking bout my kin folk/
And how its been a decade since I really been home/
Imprisoned in my own mind, ask me what I’m in for/
Whatever the charge, I’m probably guilty/
Still I’m filling up these pages, hoping somebody feels me/
For a long time, the back of my mind’s told me to stop/
And I’ve considered it more than once, but now it’s really not an option/
I’ve been…


[Hook]
