Why Do I Try?? Lyrics

Yeah, seen the good die young, the old live and prosper

With no dry runs from the soul, this is gospel

I took so many losses, but a nigga never lost it

I had to make an office out the room in my apartment

Worked till I'm exhausted, but the work is never stopping

I'm waking up at dawn, I'm writing songs while niggas yawning

I hustle with my daughter when you see me out here grinding

She gotta see the struggle, not get caught up in the shining

I struck gold when I found a silver lining

It's good in everything, my nigga, you just gotta find it

Dirt turn to diamonds, they laugh at the perfect timing

You cut yourself off, I was trying to make you a giant

So small-minded, you'll see it in hind sight

All I do is rhyme tight and make sure that my mind right

Seen the good die young, and he ain't even die, yikes

Seen the good die young, and he ain't even die, why do I try

Try to befriend these niggas, why do I try

Now it's revenge with niggas, why do I try

Now it's the soul that's lost, why do I try

Try to be better than best, why do I try

Knowing that life is a test, why do I try

Try to make life from dark, why do I try

Look at the life we lost, why do I try

Who's making the rules? I pick and I choose

I'm making my moves, you can make an excuse

Win or you lose, why do I try

You got it, my nigga, I can't even lie

You got it, my nigga, I can't even lie

You got it, my nigga, you can't even lie

Good die young, old live and prosper

With no dry rhymes from the soul, this is gospel

Took so many losses, nigga never lost it

Took so many losses, my nigga still bosses
