"I'm Tryin" lyrics
Vandross, yeah
I'm tryin', and I just want all my people to know
I'm tryin', just in case y'all don't see me no more
I'm tryin', gotta deal with it, they ain't trippin' no more
I'm good, and I'ma be alright (Be alright)
And I ain't comin' home, I'ma be all night
Lately, I ain't been spendin' time in the hood enough
Lately, I've been doin' my best, but my best ain't good enough
Maybe sayin' fuck all y'all really what I should've done
'Cause I was lettin' everybody eat
Goin' great, meetin' everybody needs
But I just wanna know, when is it my turn?
A nigga trippin', all this marijuana I burn
A nigga cried so much it made my eyes burn
But I'm good and I'ma be alright
And I ain't comin' home, I'ma be all night
I'm tryin', and I just want all my people to know
I'm tryin', just in case y'all don't see me no more
I'm tryin', gotta deal with it, they ain't trippin' no more
I'm good, and I'ma be alright (Be alright)
And I ain't comin' home, I'ma be all night
Listen, bein' a real nigga ain't fun
Lookin' for reciprocity, it ain't none
Swear to God I can save everybody
But if I'm lookin' for one person to save me, it ain't one
I really wish I was a loved one
But in reality, I'm just somebody my people can get some change from
Seem like every time I need the sun to shine on me
That's when the heavy thunderstorms and the rain come
Stop callin' my cell phone, I don't wanna talk (Hello?)
I don't want no pussy either, I'm just on the couch (Shit)
I try to buy somethin', they tell me, "Ro, it's on the house"
But I ain't a celebrity, my nigga, put that on the South (Who, me?)
I should've been worldwide like my nigga Drake
But I ain't want my fans thinkin' that a nigga fake (Haha)
Twenty-five years eatin' off a nigga plate
And I ain't exaggeratin', crumbs is what a nigga ate (It wasn't shit)
Hell yeah, bro, I'm talkin' 'bout scraps (Talkin' 'bout scraps)
And that's why I ain't never ever talkin' 'bout rap (Talkin' 'bout rap)
Should've kept riskin' my freedom, yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout crack (Talkin' 'bout crack)
On some never-work-again shit, I'm talkin' 'bout tag (Talkin' 'bout, uh)
Thirteen thousand on a kid and can't get a text
Shut me out and act like I ain't supposed to get upset
I miss my daughter, this bitch just don't wanna miss a check
I just wanna tell her I love her and kiss her neck, I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', and I just want all my people to know
I'm tryin', just in case y'all don't see me no more
I'm tryin', gotta deal with it, they ain't trippin' no more
I'm good, and I'ma be alright (Be alright)
And I ain't comin' home, I'ma be all night
I'm tryin', and I just want all my people to know
I'm tryin', just in case y'all don't see me no more
I'm tryin', gotta deal with it, they ain't trippin' no more
I'm good, and I'ma be alright (Be alright)
And I ain't comin' home, I'ma be all night
Lately, I ain't been spendin' time in the hood enough
Lately, I've been doin' my best, but my best ain't good enough
Maybe sayin' fuck all y'all really what I should've done
'Cause I was lettin' everybody eat
Goin' great, meetin' everybody needs
But I just wanna know, when is it my turn?

And I ain't comin' home, I'ma be all night
I'm tryin', and I just want all my people to know
I'm tryin', just in case y'all don't see me no more
I'm tryin', gotta deal with it, they ain't trippin' no more
I'm good, and I'ma be alright (Be alright)
