Try

I ain't gonna try no more

I ain't gonna try no more

I'm just gonna do it

Flowers don't have to try to bloom

They just bloom

The sun don't have to try to shine

It just do

So why do I have to try to be

Something other than me

I'm tryna stay real for me

And tryna stay true for you

What you expect for me to do

When tryin' 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, no

I'm just gonna do it, yes

If there's ever anything I try to be

It's someone who speaks with honesty

A person who won't take personally

Or make assumptions about things that people say to me

I'll take it for what it is

No more, no less

Accept it as motivation

For me to do my best

I tried school, it was cool, aced all my classes

Tried working with the youth, but they some rude ass kids

Tried corporate America, you know the suit and tie thing

Took a couple years to figure out that it wasn't my thing

Money was nice, but I didn't have a life

Plus it put my whole game for a wife on ice

And I don't even watch sports, but I was feeling like a hockey puck

Let me quit before I go postal and they lock me up

Hit the studio, hit them other continents

My records hit the shelves, they hit me with compliments

I was tryin' new things, sorta tryin' to sing

Some people was like "What the hell is you doing?"

Look at him, ah, he just tryin' to be different

But I wasn't tryin', I am, look at my pigment

And look where I grew up at, and look where I been

No don't ever try to tell me that I'm tryin' again

I'm just doin' it

Just bein' me

It's all I ever wanted to be

I don't try, I'm just doin' it

I don't try, I'm just doin' it

I don't try, I'm just doin' it

I don't try, I'm just doin' it
