"Try" lyrics

I've been taking my time
I've been trying to find peace
I've been trying to make a better me
They said I'd never make it
Looking at their faces
They don't even recognize me
And you say I don't deserve it
But I knew my purpose
Don't let them get the best of me
So what they gonna say now?
Wishing that they stay down
I'm who I wanna be

You're looking at a brand new person
And everybody coming to the light
Reminder to myself it's worth it
You don't know how much I sacrifice
Was so afraid when they ask
What you doing now
Ashamed because I had nothing to show them
So hard
There's only one way to live this life

You gotta just try, try
I never let them get the best of me
You just try, try, try
Oh, they gonna see how far I'ma take this
They probably think we won't make it
But we'll try, try, try

I do my best but it's still just not enough
I try so hard to be, don't know what they see
I shouldn't care so much
Cause at the end of the day it's just me
Can't be ashamed when they ask what you're doing now
Cause we the only ones that rarely see
One day they gonna say wow
Wishing that they stayed down
One day you'll see

You're looking at a brand new person
And everybody coming to the light
Reminder to myself it's worth it, yeah
You don't know how much I sacrifice
I'm so afraid when they ask what you're doing now
Ashamed because I had nothing to show them
So hard
It's only one way to live this life

You gotta just try, try
I never let them get the best of me
You just try, try, try
Oh, they gonna see how far I'ma take this
They probably think we won't make it
But we'll try, try, try

You gotta just try, try
I never let them get the best of me
You just try, try, try
Oh, they gonna see how far I'ma take this
They probably think we won't make it
But we'll try, try, try
