[Intro]
I ain't gonna try no more
I ain't gonna try no more
I'm just gonna do it
[First verse]
Flowers don't have to try to grow, they just bloom
The Sun don't have to try to shine, he just do
So why do I have to try to be
Something other than me
I'm trying to stay real , fo' me
And trying to stay true, fo' you
What you expect for me to do?
When trying doesn't work like it's supposed to
I ain't gonna try
I ain't gonna try no more
I ain't gonna try no more
I'm just gonna do it
Yes..!
If doesn't any thing
I tried to be, it someone who speaks with honesty
A person who, won't take personally
Who makes summons about things people say to me
I take it for what it is
No more, no less
Except the motivation
For me, to do my best
[Second verse]
I tried school,it was cool, aced all of my cla**es
Tried working with the youth,but they are some rude a** kids
Tried Corporate America, you know the suit and tie thing
Took a couple of years to figure out it wasn't my thang
Money was nice but I didn't have a life
Plus I put my whole game for a wife on ice
And I don't even watch sports,but I was feeling like a hokey puck
Let me quit before I go post through they lock me up
His the studio,hit the mother continents
My records hit the shells ,they hit me with compliments
I was trying new things, so trying to sing
Some people was like “What the hell you doing?”
“Look at him , Ah!he just trying to be different”
But I wasn't tying , I am , look at my pigment
And look where I grew up at
And look where I been
Do not ever try to tell me that trying again
I'm just doin' it
Just being me
That's all I ever want it to be
