The More I Try

[Intro]

Yeah this for everybody who feel like every time they take a step forward

They get knocked two back, you know what I'm saying?

You ain't by yourself, it ain't no need to feel sorry for yourself

Just step your game up ya feel me?

[K-Rino]

My blessings in this world come from only three letters

I analyze life thru a blind man's eyes to see better

I'm thanking for hard times and every problem I gained

Cuz struggle is ordain and one of life's best lessons is pain

The decisions I made, I made 'em with no shame in my game

Took the bad with the good just like a man and never place blame

A mind stay twisted, can't even tell the crooked from straight

We give up on love but never seem to run out of hate

Seems like you gotta almost die before you learn how to live

One of the biggest things a man can do is learn to forgive

We didn't have much but grateful every night I pray

Knew we was poor, but we was happy, just to go out and play

And these fools thinking they understand the problems we have

Raised in the hood learning to mean mug before I can laugh

If it's about money and happiness I'm down to pursue it

And don't be talking about you feel me if you ain?t never been thru

[Chorus x2: Klondike Kat]

Life's so full of deception and lies

Look deeply and see the pain in my eyes

Why do I fall when I'm supposed to rise?

The more I try

[Klondike Kat]

I see this world is on its last leg like nobody cares

Can't even pray to god without snapping my prayers

How can I strive to show love when I'm surrounded by hate?

Why even bother choosing friends when they so shallow and fake

How come your main mission in life is to take me fast?

Because if they ain't after your broad then they after your cash

Busta be framing me but they apply for my wealth

Could it be that they see more in me then they see in they self?

I been rich been poor been both places before

Hit the pen now I know just what patience is for

Got me pacing the floor now my life is rough

And if I look back on past I could have avoided this stuff

How can you preach to me my baby need shoes

My baby is in schools

And I can find no positives playing by y'all rules

Klondike Kat done seen some dark days so I just can't front

Playing at this pace can get ya twenty-five to avoid six months

Klondike Kat

[Chorus]

[K-Rino]

Born in an aggravated mood swallowed game like food

They say I'm ghetto but I take that as a compliment dude

It ain?t take long for the hood to put some hair on my balls

Never did dirt because I feared my mama more than them laws

Maybe we'll stop trying take from somebody and give mo

They got us out here thinking it ain't nothing to live for

You got your thing I got mine, when it rains it pours

I can't look down on you cuz my sin ain't no better than yours

And the friendship between two partners really ain?t strong

And we can?t tell each other bout ourselves when we in the wrong

Is you a G or a faker that will sellout your brothers

Do you do good because it's right or to be noticed by others

See I understand why people shoot slugs and do drugs

If you was in the conditions we was you'd do it too cuz

That why we dying over nonsense layed out like a pallet

If you gonna die or kill just make sure that the reason is valid

We know what pain is and what these devils tryna do

It?s hard to listen to your mama when she higher than you

Can't show no weakness in this world, even the females is hard

Out here putting their faith in mad like they ought to do god. Fo Sho

[Chorus]
