Bow Wow - I Try lyrics

Born 1987, no daddy around
Just me and my moms, I had to get on my job
See I got 2 sisters but I hardly seen em
You ask why and I tell
You my career's the reason
Two nephews and I got a couple nieces
Grandmother so sweet just
Like Georgia peaches
Now don't get mad at me
Oh we can fix it though
And I shall you know I love you
Just to let you know
See I neglected ya'll but I
Now I need ya'll closer
'Cause nowadays I'm feelin like the
Devil's on my shoulder
My little sister's 18 and got her own car
Just so she ain't actin fast
For them young boys see I wonder if I'm dad
Will see his granddaughter
Facing all my obstacles as life gets harder
Chyeah, and I know that I
Can make things right
I gotta start now to get
A second chance on life

I know I ain't perfect, nobody on earth is
But God I'm workin to better myself
Shit, I know that I can
Got a daughter to raise
And when all else fails
Get on my knees and pray

It's hard but I try get on my knees and pray
It's hard but I try eh, eh eh eh

Feel like I'm dyin inside, bullshit aside
Put away my pride, it's okay to cry
Can we go back to how it used to be?
This distant shit is new to me
Tryna remain positive
These haters tryna get to me
Putting on for my daughter
Putting on fr my aunts
Me and my moms got a connection
Like a feeny and pops yea
I love my homies like blood brothers
And even though we don't talk
I still got love for em
All my homies on lockdown doin the bid
Try to maintain, keep your head up kid
And even though it's a journey just
To make it to the top
Young and black widow Ferrari
I get sweated by the cops
They don't like it when a youngin
Got more than what they got
This is for they young man
Hustling on the block
Shit, you can be whatever
Not like me but better
When that road get tough keep yo head up

I know I ain't perfect, nobody on earth is
But God I'm workin to better myself
Shit, I know that I can
Got a daughter to raise
And when all else fails
Get on my knees and pray

It's hard but I try get on my knees and pray
It's hard but I try eh, eh eh eh

Man it's been minutes to holla at my pops
Ya feel man? Just talked to
My daddy the other day ya what I mean?
Real shit man, that shit felt good
So man we caught up and
I mean we talked about
Oh shit, ya know what I mean?
Ain't seen my grandmother in
A long time though ya feel me?
Yea see all my life I wanted to be famous
So sure you know I wanted to be like a rapper
And all that shit but I ain't know that
Ya know what I mean?
It was gon take me away from
The ones I love a'ight and now I'm tryna
Now I find myself tryna go back
And pick up all the pieces
All the shit that I left ya what I mean?
'Cus whatever man
You get one chance to live man
Take full advantage of that shit
Real shit dog

I know I ain't perfect, nobody on earth is
But God I'm workin to better myself
Shit, I know that I can
Got a daughter to raise
And when all else fails
Get on my knees and pray

It's hard but I try get on my knees and pray
It's hard but I try eh, eh eh eh
