[00:19.31]
[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
