Die Trying - Cee Lo Green[00:00:00]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:00:21]
I'd ever stop now Imma die tryin' I'mma die trying[00:00:24]
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on[00:00:31]
But I'mma keep on I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)[00:00:35]
Before we came being southern wasn't something to claim[00:00:43]
In fact wasn't something too fly it was something to blame[00:00:46]
Smilin and juckin and jivin I was so ashamed[00:00:48]
They gave the dirty an apparently appropriate name[00:00:51]
I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul[00:00:54]
Spoke with my spirit and mind my ambition was blind[00:00:56]
Answering the call of god like a child obeying[00:00:59]
Preaching the very same power they killed martin for saying[00:01:01]
But you can't break the hold and not holding your breath[00:01:04]
Thought if I died for ya that would be an honourable death[00:01:07]
So sincere my eyes begin to swell up in tear[00:01:10]
And it's clear my music may not do well up in here[00:01:12]
Oh my god being a nigger must be a good payin job[00:01:15]
With all the fringe benefits ignorance is bliss[00:01:18]
There is a time and a place for everybody's taste[00:01:20]
But I know too much and I owe too much[00:01:23]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:01:26]
I'd ever stop now Imma die tryin' I'mma die trying[00:01:29]
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on[00:01:36]
But I'mma keep on I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)[00:01:40]
So here it is an invitation to an open book[00:01:48]
A painful past my heart is still broken look[00:01:51]
I know you don't hate me it's not assured they anyone appreciate me[00:01:53]
See i've been having a hard time selling my album's lately[00:01:56]
In recent news the source couldnt find any microphones to rate me[00:01:58]
Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me[00:02:01]
Which is true I'm in a box with a view would you still wanna date me [00:02:04]
I could be a pretty good thug but it wouldnt compare to a great me[00:02:07]
The final cross to bear is mine it's not a cross to share[00:02:10]
But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought a cross to wear[00:02:12]
That obviously cost to wear but considerably less than the price that it costs to care[00:02:15]
Now I have another loss to spare I doubt em say that I can't win[00:02:20]
Even though I know talking intelligent just ain't in[00:02:23]
You most likely to go broke when you just can't bend[00:02:26]
So me and JJ both gon' have to pay bills[00:02:28]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:02:31]
I'd ever stop now Imma die tryin' I'mma die trying[00:02:33]
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on[00:02:43]
But I'mma keep on I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)[00:02:45]
Listen[00:02:53]
People still standin in line at the +World Party+ for some +Soul Food+[00:02:53]
To get put back in that old mood[00:02:58]
They say we like the new 'Lo[00:02:59]
And we respect everything that you trying to do 'Lo[00:03:01]
Do what you do but just do more that you know[00:03:02]
It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry[00:03:04]
Now I'm under oath with them both and I couldn't lie[00:03:06]
Cussed 'em said that I'm too dope and I coudln't fly[00:03:09]
But you getting rich talkin shit so why shouldn't I[00:03:12]
I'm just playing but I guess that couldn't go without saying[00:03:14]
I'm just gon ride this revolution until they stop me where I'm stayin[00:03:17]
But I ain't gotta lie to ya to make it sound fly to ya[00:03:20]
I keep my feet on the ground and bring the sky to ya[00:03:23]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:03:25]
I'd ever stop now Imma die tryin' I'mma die trying[00:03:28]
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on[00:03:35]
But I'mma keep on I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)[00:03:38]
