Tryin

Open your eyes baby, no cry baby
Smokin on Alabama watching the tides raging
Eyes glazing over I’m sober knowing your mind racing
I’m patient knowing you tokin over your pride
But won’t deny ya status
See I won’t give you no pressure
Imma let you get your pleasure at all conceivable measures
But Imma lecture you after lettin them demons test ya
Cuz I’m expecting you to regret you even defected
But who am I to judge?
Nah who am I to budge
My position is liftin
I just want you to rise above
My love don’t cost a thing
I’m just trying to let you know
That I can see you hit that J
But you focused on getting low
And ain’t no good company at the bottom
You fall or you climb
When you choose the latter then say you got em
And if you at capacity somethin get left behind
But if it’s love then they ain’t trippin just let em know that you tryin
(Just let em know that you tryin)
Umm Hmm
I’ll try to sympathize with ya baby
Umm Hmm
Cuz you can’t get away
Umm Hmm
(Just let em know that you tryin)
I’ll try to sympathize with ya baby
Umm Hmm
Ain’t no sympathy from ya enemy
Know misery love Co. so no chillin if you ain’t kin to me
I know family more than blood
So if you on my side I need loyalty more than love
And if you with the tribe don’t never claim to be Phife if you Jarobi
No sauce nigga you just dressin on the side
Don’t cross the line know that ya blessings come with tithes
And your ties come from decadence keepin eyes on the prize
But never tried in the race you just looked for the finish line
Know all the pines in the maze but just calculatin the crime
Holdin caps on the letter that’s for the better for you
Down for whatever until whatever come true
But I can’t put no faith in my right to care for my left
So I can’t wait for time to tell me stop holdin my breath
Look I ain’t buyin I know what you’re selling
But we trading crumbs for diamonds
Don’t know what to tell ya I’m just focusing on my stylus
So know I’m not ditchin I’m just letting you know I’m trying
(Hey Just let you know that I’m trying)
Umm Hmm
I’ll try to sympathize with ya baby
Umm Hmm
Cuz you can’t get away
Umm Hmm
(Just let em know that you tryin)
I’ll try to sympathize with ya baby
Umm Hmm
