[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
13
K. West! Kweli!
14
Got searched on the plane, Arabic first name
15
Disturbed by the fame just like Kurt Cobain
16
Breath of life, kiss of death, my lips pursed the same
17
You flirt 'til she came
18
Nothin' hurt like the pain and torture
19
Daughters of the dust lookin' for a vein
20
Something to take in vain like the Lord's name
21
Put your hands together, got 'em all sayin'
22

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
28
Yo, it's all ghetto in gear higher, the floor settle
29
More metal for beef that we don't let the law settle
30
I try to navigate the treacherous waters of
31
America's ghettos that set up the slaughteres
32
But there's more of us
33
Although we speak in different languages
34
We all pretty familiar with what anger is
35
Young and dangerous, ??
36
Get up on some gangsta shit
37
Guns to bang ya wit'
38
And we put it on records to entertain ya wit'
39
I'm grown with pains way deeper than Mike Seavers
40
Our uniforms is white sneakers and white T-shirts
41
On top of wife beaters
42
We like to light reefers
43
The 'hood need us for rappers, just ain't the right leaders
44
I put a lot into it
45
This is my product and I gotta move it
46
Stop the industry but you can't stop the music
47
[Interlude: Mary J. Blige]
48
An upside down kingdom where life is just not fair (upside down kingdom)
49
Some many sufferin' 'cause deep inside they're scared (so scared)
50
Fear pumped into their veins to keep them from their destiny
51
Where would they be if you and I don't care?
52
[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
53
I try, I try, you know I try
54
I try, I try, I try, you know I try
55
[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]
56
Yo, the things I'm seein' on the news is insane
57
A stock broker shoot his kid and throw himself in front of a train
58
A mother leave her baby home for two weeks all by himself
59
Three years old, eatin' ketchup and mustard, cryin for help
60
Tryin' to bring your struggle to life
61
The label want a song about a bubbly life
62
I have trouble tryin' to write some shit
63
To BANG in the club through the night
64
When people suffer tonight
65
Lord knows I try
66
[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
67
I try, I try, I try, you know I try
68
I try, I try, I try, you know I try
69
[Interlude: Talib Kweli]
70
Life is a beautiful struggle
71
People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle
72
Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle
73
Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle
74
Come on, say it now
75
Life is a beautiful struggle
76
People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle
77
Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle
78
Some people put it all together, yeah
79
[Outro: Mary J. Blige]
80
I try, I try, you know I try
81
I try, oh Lord I try
82
Everyday I
83
[Mary J. Bliges harmonizes with the beat]
84
Upside down kingdom
85
Oh, they're so scared
86
Everyday on the news we can't look around with
87
something somewhere
88
I try, I try, you know I try
89
I try, I try, I try, you know I try
90
Lord knows, Lord knows we try
