[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 classes
Tried working with the youth,but they are some rude ass 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
