K West Kweli [00:00:38]
Got searched on the plane Arabic first name[00:00:38]
Disturbed by the fame just like Kurt Cobain[00:00:40]
Breath of life kiss of death my lips pursed the same[00:00:42]
You flirt 'til she came[00:00:45]
Nothin' hurt like the pain and torture[00:00:46]
Daughters of the dust lookin' for a vein[00:00:48]
Something to take in vain like the Lord's name[00:00:50]
Put your hands together got 'em all sayin'[00:00:53]
I try I try[00:00:56]
I try you know I try[00:01:00]
I try I try[00:01:05]
I try you know I try[00:01:10]
Yo it's all ghetto in gear higher the floor settle[00:01:14]
More metal for beef that we don't let the law settle[00:01:16]
I try to navigate the treacherous waters of[00:01:19]
America's ghettos that set up the slaughteres[00:01:21]
But there's more of us[00:01:24]
Although we speak in different languages[00:01:25]
We all pretty familiar with what anger is[00:01:26]
Young and dangerous [00:01:29]
Get up on some gangsta shit[00:01:30]
Guns to bang ya wit'[00:01:31]
And we put it on records to entertain ya wit'[00:01:33]
I'm grown with pains way deeper than Mike Seavers[00:01:35]
Our uniforms is white sneakers and white T-shirts[00:01:37]
On top of wife beaters[00:01:40]
We like to light reefers[00:01:41]
The 'hood need us for rappers just ain't the right leaders[00:01:42]
I put a lot into it[00:01:45]
This is my product and I gotta move it[00:01:46]
Stop the industry but you can't stop the music[00:01:48]
An upside down kingdom where life is just not fair (upside down kingdom)[00:01:50]
Some many sufferin' cuz deep inside they're scared (so scared)[00:01:55]
Fear pumped into their veins to keep them from their destiny[00:02:00]
Where would they be if you and I don't care [00:02:04]
I try I try you know I try[00:02:10]
I try I try I try you know I try[00:02:17]
Yo the things I'm seein' on the news is insane[00:02:26]
A stock broker shoot his kid and throw himself in front of a train[00:02:28]
A mother leave her baby home for two weeks all by himself[00:02:31]
Three years old eatin' ketchup and mustard cryin for help[00:02:33]
Tryin' to bring your struggle to life[00:02:35]
The label want a song about a bubbly life[00:02:37]
I have trouble tryin' to write some shit[00:02:38]
To BANG in the club through the night[00:02:40]
When people suffer tonight[00:02:42]
Lord knows I try[00:02:43]
I try I try I try you know I try[00:02:45]
I try I try I try you know I try[00:02:53]
Life is a beautiful struggle[00:03:02]
People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle[00:03:03]
Some people usin' the noodle some people usin' the muscle[00:03:05]
Some people put it all together make it fit like a puzzle[00:03:08]
Come on say it now[00:03:10]
Life is a beautiful struggle[00:03:12]
People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle[00:03:13]
Some people usin' the noodle some people usin' the muscle[00:03:15]
Some people put it all together yeah[00:03:18]
I try I try you know I try[00:03:22]
I try oh Lord I try[00:03:29]
Everyday I[00:03:35]
Upside down kingdom[00:03:41]
Oh they're so scared[00:03:46]
Everyday on the news we can't look around with[00:03:51]
Something somewhere[00:03:56]
I try I try you know I try[00:03:58]
I try I try I try you know I try[00:04:05]
