1
See there's no way and there's no how
2
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
3
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
4
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
5
Before we came being in southern wasn't something to claim
6
The fact wasn't something too fly it was something to blame
7
Smilin' and juckin' and jivin' I was so ashamed
8
They gave the dirty apparently appropriate name
9
I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul
10
Spoke with my spirit and mind my ambition was blind
11
Answering the call of God like a child obeying
12
Preaching the very same power they killed Martin for saying
13
But you can't break the mold and not holding your breath
14
Thought if I died for ya, that would be an honorable death
15
So sincere my eyes begin to swell up in tear
16
And it's clear my music may not do well up in here
17
Oh my God being a nigger must be a good payin' job
18
With all the fringe benefits, ignorance is bliss
19
There is a time and the place for everybody's taste
20
But I know too much and I owe too much
21
See there's no way and there's no how
22
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
23
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
24
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
25
So here it is, an invitation to an open book
26
A painful past my heart is still broken look
27
I know you don't hate me it's not assured that anyone appreciate me
28
See I've been having a hard time selling my album's lately
29
In recent news the source couldn't find any microphones to rate me
30
Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me
31
Which is true I'm in a box with a view would you still wanna date me?
32
I could be a pretty good thug but it wouldn't compare to a great me
33
The final cross to bear is mine it's not a cross to share
34
But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought a cross to wear
35
That obviously cost to wear but considerably less
36
Than the price that it costs to care
37
Now I have another loss to spare I doubt 'em say that I can't win
38
Even though I know talking intelligent just ain't in
39
You most likely to go broke when you just can't bend
40
So me and J J both gon' have to pay bills
41
See there's no way and there's no how
42
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
43
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
44
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
45
Listen, people still standin' in line at the world party for some soul food
46
To get put back in that old mood they say, we like the new 'lo
47
And we respect everything that you trying to do 'lo
48
Do what you do but just do more that you know
49
It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry
50
Now I'm under oath with them both and I couldn't lie
51
Cussed 'em said that I'm too dope and I couldn't fly
52
But you getting rich talkin' shit so why shouldn't I
53
I'm just playing but I guess that couldn't go without saying
54
I'm just gon' ride this revolution until they stop me where I'm stayin'
55
But I ain't gotta have to lie to ya to make it sound fly to ya
56
I keep my feet on the ground and bring the sky to ya
57
See there's no way and there's no how
58
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
59
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
60
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
