Epidemic (rapper), Nova King, Zoey Dollaz, Gunplay - Tried to Tell 'Em lyrics

I tried to tell em i tried to tell em

I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherfuckers
I’m the one man) yea yea
You see me getting to the
Money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em

Pull up in the phantom, no it wasn’t tinted
No congratulations
They just asked me if it’s rented
Matter fact it is it cost me $1200 a day
And I’ve had it for a month
Did I just fuck up your day
By the way - I was broke for 90% of my life
They was cutting off my lights
I almost cut my wrists twice
No need for the police for what?
We was from the streets
I tried to ask jesus for peace
Instead I got a jesus piece
I never was the one fam never a front man
But now these niggas filming
Only right I gotta stunt man
Walk into the building to the side
You tryna to front man jealous of my sun tan
Fuck man

I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherfuckers
I’m the one man) yea yea
You see me getting to the
Money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em

I tried to tell em i tried to warn em
Told em I’m a slap you with my iron
I’m bout my money he ain’t listen
Thought I was bs’ing - huh
Then I made the news cuz
The robbery got messy
Now he know I’m bout that shit
But now it’s too late i had to turn the city
Into Baghdad and Kuwait
I tried to tell em man i’m a walking felony
I done been to hell and back
And ain’t scared to go to jail again
Ain’t nothing bout me flawed
And you can bet that
Bet I whip a whip right off
The lot and probably wreck that
Bet I drop the work into the
Pot and whip a wet sack
Bet I hit the block up with
This rock and then collect racks

I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherfuckers
I’m the one man) yea yea
You see me getting to the
Money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em

I tried to tell em but they ain’t believe me
I dropped on they ass and
I ran through a check i made it look easy
But they ain’t see all of the grind
They ain’t see all of the time
Somedays I wake up so hungry I
Couldn’t even drop a rhyme, uh
Now i’m jumping on them flights for the shows
Nickname me bomb cuz I’m bout to blow
Look at the look on they faces
Like I never told them I was gon make it
You niggas is too busy hating
I was on my grind, like I was skating
Now I’m jumping out of foreigns
I remember my car needed maintenance
But I tried to tell em I
Was getting to the money
I don’t owe nobody shit
Can’t take shit from me
And I tried to tell em
But ain’t nobody listen
So if you can’t take the heat
That a young nigga bringin
Fuck out the kitchen

I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherfuckers
I’m the one man) yea yea
You see me getting to the
Money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em
