I'm Try'n Songtext
von B.G.

I′m tryin' to do right
But I′m surrounded by wrong
Avoid the all night flight
And still make it on my own
I'm tryin' be cool
Do what I gotta do
But player haters all over
So I roll with my crew
I′m tryin′ stay over

And just stay my ass in school
Ain't many choices to choose
And this rap game I can′t refuse
I wanna win don't want to be the one to loose
My pistol my only friend
′Cause busters try to bring the blues
Leaving brains with no clues


Spin the ben in black clothes
They tryin' ta′ take my only life
Leave my folks on the front row
Bury me in providence
Heavy weight that rose
They wanna steal the B.G
Now tell me Alton ain't that cold

What can I do
Now what can I do to get out the game
What can I do
Now what can I do to make change
Every other day around my way niggas dyin'
Hours flying I want to go straight boy I′m tryin′

I'm tryin′ to shake the monkey off of me
Lord please let me go where I needs to be
Ball 'till I fall it′s a poor family
Fo' sho′ I know the future got a lot of stuff for me

I'm tryin' to get my mail straight
Sell CDs and tapes
I don′t want to be jail bait
Niggas want to kill me
And increase the hell rate
They almost got me
But I slip the spot it was too late


I wanna be a role model for my lil′ brother
And buy a 15 room mansion for my mother
Settle down with a silent hoe
And drop a tight seed
So I can raise another uptown B.G
Just like me, I'ma give ′em but I wish had a dad

He goin' be smart and bad nigga
Throwin′ up a solga rag
This world is Corrupted
The police is crooked
My boy was runnin' with B gun
His young life they took it

This world is rotten, everyday it gets colder
They throwin′ away the key
Sendin' the soldiers to Angola
My round slangin' that yola
With they hand on that iron
To keep my mind right
Believe nigga I′m tryin′

I'm tryin′ to shake the monkey off of me
Lord please let me go where I needs to be
Ball 'till I fall it′s a poor family
For sho' I know the future got a lot of stuff for me

I′m tryin' to be a man at 14
Choppin' iron at 14
Nigga that tells my only way
(Look where you stand at 14)
A lil′ bity something
Whuckin, representin′ partners
Ain't to good in my neighborhood
Uptowns my partner
I ain′t lie I'm tryin′
To go the right way

But the night flight way
Just ain't the right way
I wanna be a gangsta but also wan′ live
So I choose to be a uptown HotBoy hard to kill
Sittin' behind the cruiser wheel
Can't even see me I′m so lil′
And you expect me to give this
Just to switch to positive

As hard as I'm tryin′ do it I just can't make a shape
School I′m tryin' go through it but I just can′t make a shape
Gettin' in beef that resultin' into serious gun slangin′
Do good I want yeah but on half I just keep hangin′
I'm looking for a change but change ain′t looking for me
Will I remain a B.G or a A student
We'll see

I′m tryin' to shake the monkey off of me
Lord please let me go where I needs to be
Ball ′till I fall it's a poor family
For sho' I know the future got a lot of stuff for me

I′m tryin′ to shake the monkey off of me
Lord please let me go where I needs to be
Ball 'till I fall it′s a poor family
For sho' I know the future got a lot of stuff for me
