Talib Kweli - I Try - Mary Jblige lyrics
rate me[Talib Kweli] <br />Yeah, yeah <br />New Talib Kweli <br />Yeah, you know what it is <br />Come on, come on, yeah <br />Hey yo *repeats* <br /> <br />[Hook: Mary J. Blige] <br />I try, I try (that's all we can do) <br />I try, you know I try <br />I try, I try (yeah) <br />I try, you know I try <br /> <br />[Verse 1: Talib Kweli] <br />K. West! Kweli! <br />Got searched on the plane, Arabic first name <br />Disturbed by the fame just like Kurt Cobain <br />Breath of life, kiss of death, my lips pursed the same <br />You flirt 'til she came <br />Nothin' hurt like the pain and torture <br />Daughters of the dust lookin' for a vein <br />Something to take in vain like the Lord's name <br />Put your hands together, got 'em all sayin' <br /> <br />[Hook: Mary J. Blige] <br />I try, I try <br />I try, you know I try <br />I try, I try <br />I try, you know I try <br /> <br />[Verse 2: Talib Kweli] <br />Yo, it's all ghetto in gear higher, the floor settle <br />More metal for beef that we don't let the law settle <br />I try to navigate the treacherous waters of <br />America's ghettos that set up the slaughteres <br />But there's more of us <br />Although we speak in different languages <br />We all pretty familiar with what anger is <br />Young and dangerous, ?? <br />Get up on some gangsta shit <br />Guns to bang ya wit' <br />And we put it on records to entertain ya wit' <br />I'm grown with pains way deeper than Mike Seavers <br />Our uniforms is white sneakers and white T-shirts <br />On top of wife beaters <br />We like to light reefers <br />The 'hood need us for rappers, just ain't the right leaders <br />I put a lot into it <br />This is my product and I gotta move it <br />Stop the industry but you can't stop the music <br /> <br />[Interlude: Mary J. Blige] <br />An upside down kingdom where life is just not fair (upside down kingdom) <br />Some many sufferin' 'cause deep inside they're scared (so scared) <br />Fear pumped into their veins to keep them from their destiny <br />Where would they be if you and I don't care? <br /> <br />[Hook: Mary J. Blige] <br />I try, I try, you know I try <br />I try, I try, I try, you know I try <br /> <br />[Verse 3: Talib Kweli] <br />Yo, the things I'm seein' on the news is insane <br />A stock broker shoot his kid and throw himself in front of a train <br />A mother leave her baby home for two weeks all by himself <br />Three years old, eatin' ketchup and mustard, cryin for help <br />Tryin' to bring your struggle to life <br />The label want a song about a bubbly life <br />I have trouble tryin' to write some shit <br />To BANG in the club through the night <br />When people suffer tonight <br />Lord knows I try <br /> <br />[Hook: Mary J. Blige] <br />I try, I try, I try, you know I try <br />I try, I try, I try, you know I try <br /> <br />[Interlude: Talib Kweli] <br />Life is a beautiful struggle <br />People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle <br />Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle <br />Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle <br />Come on, say it now <br />Life is a beautiful struggle <br />People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle <br />Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle <br />Some people put it all together, yeah <br /> <br />[Outro: Mary J. Blige] <br />I try, I try, you know I try <br />I try, oh Lord I try <br />Everyday I <br /> <br />[Mary J. Bliges harmonizes with the beat] <br /> <br />Upside down kingdom <br />Oh, they're so scared <br />Everyday on the news we can't look around with <br />something somewhere <br />I try, I try, you know I try <br />I try, I try, I try, you know I try <br />Lord knows, Lord knows we try <br />Yeah<br /><br />
