Lyrics

I Try

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Sometimes I live my life like I got something to prove

Get caught up in opinions, I got so much to lose

If I don't perform well, talk well

Give the people what they want or I'ma catch hell (ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh)

Don't talk to loud about your struggles, try to pray through

Got that tight smile I wear when I'm tryin' not to be rude

Because I honor well, yea, I love well

Give the people what they want or I'ma catch hell

And I try

But I'm tired

I'm shedding performance

Yes, slowly but surely

I try

But I'm tirеd

I'm grown but still growing

Yes, slowly but surely, I try (oh-oh-oh)

Said it right but evеrybody's happy but me

I wore it so well it covered up my identity

Because I pretend so well, but I question as well

Tell the people what they want to hear or catch hell (ooh, ah)

There's only so much I can take

And I'm spilling over, raging waters making me free

And I don’t mind, well, guess I'll find myself

People only want the narrative that sells, well

And I try

And I'm trying

I'm shedding performance

Yes, slowly but surely, I try (oh-oh-oh)

I'm grown but still growing

Yes, slowly but surely, I try

Performance can't buy your love

You can try but it never will be enough

Performance can't buy your love (ooh)

You can try but it never will be enough (performance can't buy your love)

Performance can't buy your love (you can try)

You can try but it never will be enough (you can try, you can try, you can try)

Performance can't buy your love (but you're already)

You can try, you can try, you can try (try)

Try

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired

I'm shedding performance

Yes, slowly but surely

I try, I-I-I-I

I-I'm tired

'Cause I'm grown but still growing

Yes, slowly but surely I try
