Time and time again tryna make a way
Grind 2/4/7 that's the day to day
Birthday passed still ain't seeing cake
How much more can a young black brother take dang!
Doing what I must for the paper, bills stay sky high
Trees keep me tie dye... Hippie!
See colors thru supposed 3rd eye
Keep me in the light cuz I've fallen to the darkside
Beauty in the struggle huh?
Looking for a plan, wheres the Team huddle huh?
Get the hell from round me
Keep me heaven bound seek
More than whats given
Get me out of the system
State pen, so permanent
Speech outta reach impediment
Strain is evident
Faith ain't present when
The struggle fore betterment ain't ever been
A reality to some it be a fallacy
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
Days getting longer never getting better
Rather commit a crime spend it in a cellar
Judas on my mind can't take no more
The belt around my waste help me see it more
Member holding a knife to my neck
Death I recollect on the harsh night spent
All alone 4 corners in my room
Problems gain dust can't sweep away like a broom
Wish I could enemy wish I would
Stuck in a place never really understood
How I got here maybe cuz of all this fear
Scared I'mma fail with a sink full of tears
Tears won't take the pain away
Steady on a search my whole life in decay
Break down from thoughts of what I could be
Wish I could see potential slave to defeat
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
Now Look
I lost it to trying will it change
Will I ever really see the stage
Hear my lament my pride just damaged
Prolly shouldn't be present but is, can't manage
Thought by now my parents be outta debt
But only do it increase my life feeling a mess
This music ain't promised journey to a career
Trynna keep my drive keep me in the right gear
Seems the truth the people don't wanna hear
Wonder if that's the reason can't find consistent ears
A fan base in other words eager to curse
All this frustration really got me feeling the worst
Get me out this place dear father
Author of it all enemy stay a martyr
Got to see 25 in life
Not trynna make a mistake and see 25 to life Lord hear me!
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
What will we do now we've
Lost it to trying, we've lost it to trying
