Die Trying (至死方休) - Cee-Lo[00:00:00]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:00:21]
I'd ever stop now [00:00:24]
I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin'[00:00:26]
And sometimes I get weak[00:00:32]
From walking the road I'm on[00:00:33]
But I'mma keep on [00:00:35]
I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin'[00:00:36]
Before we came being in southern[00:00:43]
Wasn't something to claim[00:00:44]
The fact wasn't something too fly[00:00:46]
It was something to blame[00:00:47]
Smilin' and juckin' and jivin'[00:00:48]
I was so ashamed[00:00:50]
They gave the dirty apparently appropriate name[00:00:51]
I wrote about a revolution[00:00:54]
And sung from the soul[00:00:55]
Spoke with my spirit[00:00:57]
And mind my ambition was blind[00:00:57]
Answering the call of God like a child obeying[00:00:59]
Preaching the very same power[00:01:02]
They killed Martin for saying[00:01:03]
But you can't break the mold[00:01:05]
And not holding your breath[00:01:06]
Thought if I died for ya [00:01:07]
That would be an honorable death[00:01:08]
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[00:01:13]
Oh my God[00:01:15]
Being a nigger must be a good payin' job[00:01:16]
With all the fringe benefits ignorance is bliss[00:01:18]
There is a time and the place for everybody's taste[00:01:21]
But I know too much[00:01:23]
And I owe too much[00:01:25]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:01:26]
I'd ever stop now I'mma die tryin' [00:01:29]
I'mma die tryin'[00:01:33]
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on[00:01:36]
But I'mma keep on [00:01:40]
I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin'[00:01:41]
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[00:01:53]
It's not assured that anyone appreciate me[00:01:54]
See I've been having a hard time selling my album's lately[00:01:56]
In recent news the source couldn't[00:01:59]
Find any microphones to rate me[00:02:00]
Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me[00:02:02]
Which is true I'm in a box[00:02:04]
With a view would you still wanna date me [00:02:05]
I could be a pretty good thug[00:02:07]
But it wouldn't compare to a great me[00:02:08]
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[00:02:15]
Than the price that it costs to care[00:02:18]
Now I have another loss to spare[00:02:20]
I doubt 'em say that I can't win[00:02:22]
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 J J both gon' have to pay bills[00:02:29]
See there's no way and there's no how[00:02:31]
I'd ever stop now I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin'[00:02:34]
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on[00:02:41]
But I'mma keep on I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin'[00:02:45]
Listen people still standin' in line[00:02:51]
At the world party for some soul food[00:02:54]
To get put back in that old mood they say [00:02:56]
We like the new 'lo[00:02:58]
And we respect everything that you trying to do 'lo[00:03:00]
Do what you do but just do more that you know[00:03:01]
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 d**e and I couldn't fly[00:03:09]
But you getting rich talkin' sh*t so why shouldn't I[00:03:12]
I'm just playing but I guess[00:03:15]
That couldn't go without saying[00:03:16]
I'm just gon' ride this revolution[00:03:17]
Until they stop me where I'm stayin'[00:03:19]
But I ain't gotta have to 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 I'mma die tryin' I'mma die tryin'[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'[00:03:39]
