12 Something
Intro: (K Sos)
Why do I try?
So hard
Promised nothing
Promised nothing
Verse 1: (K Sos)
This is me on my hands and knees
I've stitched it so many times but my soul still bleeds and I'm
All about the journey but I have the need
To find the answers to the questions like
Should I smoke weed and I still believe in god
He carries me when lifes hard I keep writing these bars
I keep reachin' for stars but my ladders too short
I keep building through original though
King piece in this orator sport
Now I been down on my luck been told that the world is mine
I tell em chill whats the rush good things they take time
One day you'll be mine what you don't know it yet
Maybe I should of played it different no time to dwell on regrets
No time to question fate still time to place bets
Father said I don't care what you are just be the best and I'ma be that
Before you leave me you gone see that
A promise I couldn't break to my source of positive feedback
At times we're quick to react me I always was
Out wildin' with the homies consequence to k** my buzz
Days pa** I'm losing trust but my visions never clearer
Its easy to get down when your lookin the mirror keep your head up
Don't let your life pa** by
God didn't give us wings but we all can fly so just
Do what you want before you say goodbye
Love always Kanili Sosa lifes hard but I try
Chorus: (K Sos & Rams)
Why do I try (try)
So hard (so hard)
Promised nothing
If I'm promised nothing
And I reach for the stars
Their so far
And I pray to be something
Cuz I don't want to die nothing
Believe me
Verse 2: (Rams)
I've tried to perfect mine I've tried to do what is write
I try to write these rhymes this is beautiful insight
But it is never enough, no they say its never enough
So I make it a mission to make it an obligation
Parle through situations you are not capable of facing
Before the rollin stone pages before the radio station
Before NOC heard my word and felt like embracing now come on
Before my addiction before my pain was inflicted
Before my life was shifting back to the first day I ripped it
Family and friends missing and I'm alone sittin
Crying over what I had just written
Well anybody listen now, no no watch as my plots you know
They're getting thicker now
Why do I try so hard well to get richer now
Well no no no no no life ain't all about the money
Because when my lifes taken their takin' my money from me
And it could happen so suddenly all right in front of me
But I don't bleed I want to see what I could achieve but we are promised nothing
But I will promise you one thing I will die for something
And what we have in the end will be far from nothing
Unlimited bars stay charge and keep on runnin'
Ya kid ya k k k keep on runnin'
Chorus: (K Sos & Rams)
Why do I try (try)
So hard (so hard)
Promised nothing
If I'm promised nothing
And I reach for the stars
Their so far
And I pray to be something
Cuz I don't want to die nothing
Believe me
Verse 3: (K Sos)
If I only maintain my focus
Know I could show em how dope this flow I been craftin on behalf of desire to all be noticed
I wrote this with the intention of ventin' this is my story my fate
To illustrate it nobodys gone tell it for me this allegories been epic thus far
Through growth and scars thought patterns formed from always deviating the norm
You were warned flash my message to the people drew my pen combated evil
K sos must be the first among equals in the land where anybody it seems
Through hardwork and dedication lives American dreams
For that limelight I'm a fiend its been a steady progression and lessons
Homie you don't know what It takes to be me
What it takes to scale the wall they build to keep us out
And you will not be forgiven for the nights I slept alone at my house
This for those who thought I'd never amount to nothing built my whole drive off your doubt
Now what I'm about results in pumpin' my fist in celebration
I'ma rock this whole nation red rocks radio stations
It all starts with the dues days innate ability
Plus charisma that has everyone feeling me
I'ma captivate millions before they pull my card
My teams been ready to ride the rawest entourage
Hopefully I inspired you all to get it before life pa** by
I couldn't go out knowing that if only I tried I be the illest
Chorus: (K Sos & Rams)
Why do I try (try)
So hard (so hard)
Promised nothing
If I'm promised nothing
And I reach for the stars
Their so far
And I pray to be something
Cuz I don't want to die nothing
Believe me
Bridge: (Rams)
And follow me some time
Cuz I will never fade away
Outro: (K Sos)
Why do I try (try) try…try (2x)
Yeah
