Tryin'
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.
I really want to be the best I can
But I'm always fighting
It's like I almost got to prove myself
Sometimes I wish I was somebody else
Now I don't want to sound like I'm complaining
This is everything I asked for
But I get tired of everyone's expectations
And I wanna be left alone
Driving through these red lights
Like nobody can see me
Someone's screaming self destruction
But I can't even hear it
They wanna hold my hand
They gotta see, they gotta see
I'm tryin' to do the best that I possibly can
Even when I fall down
I gotta be, I gotta be,
I gotta be, the first one to turn it around
Oh, oh
I'm tryin', tryin'
Oh, oh
I'mma keep tryin', tryin'
Everybody always got an opinion
Somebody always got something to say
I'm getting pulled in a million directions
Sometimes you got to find your own lane
I know you're trying to stand in my corner
I know you only want what's best for me
But when the pressure starts to choke me
You gotta stand back and let me breathe
Racing through these red lights
Like nobody can see me
Lights and sirens trying to stop me
But I can't even hear them, yeah
They wanna hold my hand
They gotta see, they gotta see
I'm tryin' to do the best that I possibly can
Even when I fall down
I gotta be, I gotta be,
I gotta be, the first one to turn it around
Oh, oh
I'm tryin', tryin'
Oh, oh
I'mma keep tryin', tryin'
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Ayo, ayo, ayo
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Ayo, ayo, ayo
They wanna hold my hand
They gotta see, they gotta see
I'm tryin' to do the best that I possibly can
Even when I fall down
I gotta be, I gotta be,
I gotta be, the first one to turn it around
Oh, oh
I'm tryin', tryin'
Oh, oh
I'mma keep tryin', tryin'
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Ayo, ayo, ayo
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Anybody if you feel me
Let me hear you say
Ayo, ayo, ayo
