A Trying Man Lyrics

Lately I be feeling

Like everybody building

I'm chilling on the first floor

Got this rain on my shoulder

So open your arms like umbrella

And save me from the downpour

And even if it's too late

I'll wait at heaven's gate

Cause you saving me is just a fantasy

But I won't plea

Keep your eyes on me

Cause I wanna joke like Chris Rock

I wanna rap like K Dot

I wanna act like The Rock

I wanna be like Odell

But I'm just a trying man

Oh well

It's been a while

But I reckon I reconcile

So you niggas better hold your tongue

Cause you weren't there through everything I overcome

I was tempted and pressured into picking up a loaded gun

But I stood firm

Even when I'm supposed to run

I'm a trying man

Nobody can tell me who I am

I'm a trying man

Scraping every penny I can get

If you turn your back on me

Make sure you have no regret

I'm chasing my dreams but I'm far off

Yet My footprints are legendary

So when you tell my story

Make sure you include

The traumas that trespass

The struggles that intrude

My will made from steel

So this drama I will outlast

A nigga had to force heal

I never really foreseen breaking the door seal

I'm putting up a force field

Or giving you my shoes

So you can tell me how the course feel

Cause everyday I travel miles

But haven't reach a milestone

Tryna do this on my own

You know, you gotta be down to push

Even if it's four flat

No cap

Like you never wore hat

No slack

You gotta be down to go to war for me

Just like my niggas did for blacks

In other words

Set me free

I'm a trying man

Nobody can tell me who I am

I'm a trying man

Scraping every penny I can get

If you turn your back on me

Make sure you have no regret
