Bow Wow - I Try lyrics

rate me

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

2 nephews and I got a couple nieces

My grandmother so sweet, just like georgia peaches

I know you mad at me, but we can fix it though

And I show you know I love you, just to let you know

See I neglected y’all, but now I need y’all closer

Cause nowadays I’m feeling like the devil’s on my shoulder

My little sister’s 18 and got her own car

Just so she ain’t knocking fast for them young boys

See I wonder if my dad will see his young granddaughter

Facing all my obstacles as life gets harder

And I know that I can make things right

I gotta start now, don’t get a second chance on life

[Hook]

I know I ain’t perfect, nobody on earth is

But god I’m working, to better myself

Sure I know that I can, got a daughter to raise

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

Feel like I’m dying inside, bullshit aside

Put away my pride, it’s ok to cry

Can we go back to how it used to be

This distant shit is new to me

Tryina remain positive, these haters tryina get to me

Putting on for my daughter, putting on for my aunts

Me and my moms got a connection like a fiend me and pac

Yeah, I love my homies like blood brothers

And even thought we don’t talk, I still got love for them

All my homies on lockdown, doing the bizz

Try to maintain, keep your head up, kid

And even thought it’s a journey just to make it to the top

Young and black with a ferrari, I get sweated by the cops

They don’t like you when they young and got more than what they got

Ths is for the young man hustling on the block

Shit, you can be whatever, not like me, but better

When that road get tough, keep your head up

[Hook] x 2

I know I ain’t perfect, nobody on earth is

But god I’m working, to better myself

Sure I know that I can, got a daughter to raise

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.
