|
| [00:22.98] |
She don't wanna be with me no mo' |
| [00:24.19] |
Ain't her fault she just tired of this dumb shit that she don't know |
| [00:27.56] |
Whether to throw in the towel or if he gon' grow |
| [00:30.03] |
And if he do, where is he gon' go? |
| [00:32.07] |
Got a letter from an old friend, I read it and cried |
| [00:35.12] |
When he told me that his girl just died |
| [00:37.17] |
Right out of the blue, breast cancer, wasn't nothin to do |
| [00:40.07] |
Now I'm sittin here and thinkin of you |
| [00:42.21] |
Tryin to come to amends, cause really I done wanted you in |
| [00:45.20] |
You the only one I trust as a friend |
| [00:47.12] |
I know I'm on my last leg limpin with this bullshit written |
| [00:51.17] |
But I still gotta bring it to light |
| [00:52.44] |
Spent half of a lifetime missin cause I would not listen |
| [00:55.80] |
Confused about my wrong and my rights |
| [00:57.73] |
They tellin me that time heals wounds though |
| [01:00.01] |
This wound gon' need some stitches; I got testimony for niggas |
| [01:03.23] |
You doin what you do but when the shoe gets flipped |
| [01:05.72] |
Standin on the other foot got your boots and shit |
| [01:08.07] |
When you back up and analyze, fix shit and finalize |
| [01:11.08] |
Before you leave the shit alone just try |
| [01:13.48] |
Maybe there's somethin you can do to rectify what's did |
| [01:16.02] |
And plus you gotta think of the kids |
| [01:17.84] |
That's kinda just the way life is, you either gotta live or you die |
| [01:21.80] |
At least that I can say that I tried |
| [01:23.62] |
Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could |
| [01:26.00] |
Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough |
| [01:29.61] |
Cause when it's over, said shit done |
| [01:31.23] |
You sittin by yourself mixed up |
| [01:33.35] |
But I tried, I tried to do the best I could |
| [01:36.22] |
Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough |
| [01:39.03] |
Cause when it's over, said shit done |
| [01:41.68] |
You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried |
| [01:44.56] |
Faster than a crackhead, can pawn yo' shit |
| [01:46.55] |
Willie D'll put a foot in you bitch |
| [01:48.42] |
I sold dope, robbed folks, had to make ends meet |
| [01:51.26] |
Since 5th grade, I been up in these streets, tryin to get it |
| [01:54.25] |
Raised by a single mother, two sisters two brothers |
| [01:56.59] |
I used to think she didn't love us |
| [01:59.02] |
Cause she beat us so much, plus she came home drunk |
| [02:01.19] |
But every now and then she'd knock on wood, and say |
| [02:03.37] |
I tried to do the best that I could - and I believe her |
| [02:05.70] |
Cause she was treated evil out the box |
| [02:07.54] |
You can't get what you ain't got |
| [02:09.02] |
Momma I was young, hittin licks, started helpin you out |
| [02:11.92] |
'Bout the closest that you came to a man of the house |
| [02:14.39] |
I was talkin back, walkin through the do' gettin smacked |
| [02:16.80] |
You used to brag to your friends on how well I rapped |
| [02:19.31] |
We never really got along but when you took sick |
| [02:21.80] |
I was at your side 'til you died |
| [02:23.87] |
I wasn't the best son but I tried |
| [02:25.45] |
Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could |
| [02:27.06] |
Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough |
| [02:30.35] |
Cause when it's over, said shit done |
| [02:32.29] |
You sittin by yourself mixed up |
| [02:34.84] |
But I tried, I tried to do the best I could |
| [02:37.31] |
Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough |
| [02:40.19] |
Cause when it's over, said shit done |
| [02:42.37] |
You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried |
| [02:45.48] |
I've always been crook, never given up |
| [02:47.77] |
But the past few years has been really rough |
| [02:50.35] |
Felt like givin' up a couple of times |
| [02:52.37] |
Take a jump or plant a slug deep, up in my mind |
| [02:55.13] |
Fuck it I'm dyin', done wit strugglin' for mine |
| [02:57.32] |
Sleepin' on fans' floors, ain't no use to be lying |
| [02:59.86] |
Change my name for anonymity's sake |
| [03:01.54] |
But a four feet dwarf that be on television's hard to miss |
| [03:04.95] |
I get pissed over little shit, little shit drive me crazy |
| [03:08.44] |
Then I start thinkin 'bout my babies |
| [03:10.42] |
I can't go to jail, I can't die |
| [03:12.89] |
Who better to teach 'em 'bout this cruel world than I? |
| [03:15.40] |
Their mommas won't let me see 'em, I still pay my support |
| [03:17.84] |
Cause once you give life, life is bigger than yours |
| [03:20.23] |
Maybe I'm not all you expect me to be |
| [03:22.81] |
But when it's done and said ultimately, daddy tried |
| [03:25.67] |
Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could |
| [03:27.94] |
Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough |
| [03:30.95] |
Cause when it's over, said shit done |
| [03:33.03] |
You sittin by yourself mixed up |
| [03:35.67] |
But I tried, I tried to do the best I could |
| [03:37.96] |
Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough |
| [03:41.11] |
Cause when it's over, said shit done |
| [03:43.15] |
You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried |
| [04:05.00] |
