MC Jin - I Tried lyrics
[MC Jin - I Tried lyrics]
You know I had to say something
Jindo I wait for the beat to
Drop or do I start here? Check it
Forget waitin'
This ain't a feature this is my tape
Time wait's for no man so why
The heck should I wait?
I could probably run this town if I'd like
But I'm straight
Take a walk in my shoes if you choose
Size eight you might just feel the presence
Of the Holy Spirit
They say I'm a changed man
If the shoe fit's wear it
I used to think this was all entertainment
So I did and said anything I could
Get away with any consequences
I'm the one that's gotta live with it the
Last thing I'm tryna be now is a hypocrite
Cause it boils down to way
More than what I write
Ultimately I'm defined by how I live my life
Knew I had to change my
Ways and believe in what's right
Til this day I still got
My own demons to fight
If I had to do it on my own
No doubt I'd be a goner
But, I will be victorious cause
God is in my corner
The freedom of expression is truly a gift
It can be used to destroy or used to uplift
If I had to list my flaws
There's plenty I could mention
But through it all I
Never had any bad intentions
Never thought the youth would take
Heed to what I say
First and foremost I apologize
For leadin' you astray movin' right along
Now's the time to right the wrongs
So I think long and hard before
I start to write a song
Cause as an artist for every
Track that you create
Ain't no way to know the type
Of impact you can make
On one person or society as a whole
I'm hopin' through these lines you
Can see inside my soul
Take a long hard look and you'll
Start to see the light
It's an autobiographical story of my life
On the cover just a plain book
Here's the missin' factor i'm still the same
Book, y'all, just on a different chapter
The next generation is headed for disaster
Rappers blamin' parents and the
Parents blame the rappers
A lack of substance
What you hear is so hollow i feel you
You ain't here to be nobody's role model
I know you're tryna eat, no lie, so am I
You shouldn't be offended if what
I say just don't apply
We need more of the truth than
The game instead of less
It's bigger than Hiphop
Dead Prez said it best
You're probly listenin' like "Who's this guy
To tell me how to live?" you're
Right, I don't know you but
I know I'm positive
If it's in my power to extend a helpin' hand
Not even as a rapper, but as a fellow man
This is good versus evil
It's time to choose a side
I will never be perfect but at
Least I know I tried
Uh, Say something
Jindo I wait for the beat to
Drop or do I start here? Check it
Forget waitin'
This ain't a feature this is my tape
Time wait's for no man so why
The heck should I wait?
I could probably run this town if I'd like
But I'm straight
