Trying

What will we do now we've lost it to trying?
We've lost it to trying (trying)
Trying to be content, ain't trying to be complacent
Trying to stay grounded while I'm trying to break it

Trying to stay motivated, my motor's waning
I got invitation to the game, don't wanna overstay it
Trying to be a great husband
Trying to be a great artist

Trying to find inspiration
Trying to find where a heart is, yeah

Trying to blow your mind and speaker
Trying to buy it, never lease it
Trying to get some time with Jesus

Trying to find my genius, trying to hide my secrets
Trying to find a reason, trying to trust my ideas

Trying to speed the process
Trying to stop reading comments
Trying to find some confidence
(I'm tryin' to find my keys)

I'm trying to be respected
Trying to hit the checklist
Trying to reach perfection
Trying to leave an impression

Trying to put this phone down for a second
Trying to check it
I'm trying to live up to everything I expected

Trying to buy some Bitcoin, trying to buy some loyalty
Trying to find a producer who wants more than just a royalty

I'm trying to innovate while everybody trying to imitate
Trying to make it look like I ain't trying, damn

All my life all I ever did was (try)
I'm just (tryin')
All my life all I ever did was (try)
I'm just (tryin')

Trying to stop trying and start trusting, trying to stop lustin'
Trying to stop cussing, ah f– it
Trying to have my name in the top ten whenever that's in discussion
I'm trying to make a major impact with an indie budget

I'm trying to be present, trying to be faithful, trying to be grateful
I'm trying to be gracious, but they try my patience
I'm trying to be great, trying to find balance
Trying to move forward, never go backwards
Ain't trying to be average, live a life that matters
Trying to outrun sadness, eat more salad

Trying to leave my baggage but I keep on packing
Trying to get back in to the road less traveled
But I need my map, I delete my apps
For a week then I'll be right back
I'm trying to see me in a 'Lac
On the West Side Highway doing ninety with the seat leaned way back

Beat in the back
I got baggage I ain't unpack
I got things that I can't take back
Words that I tell myself way worse than the ones when they attack
Now one thing I know is for certain, I'm gonna ruin everythin' trying to make it perfect
All my life I've been searchin'

(For protection, I show the blemish)
(They go to exit, no affection)
(Show the love, don't finesse it)
(Flesh and blood, not the weapon)
(Load it up, get the message)
(Phone 'em up, get the blessing)
(Rolling up, codependent)

All my life all I ever did was (try)
I'm just (trying)
All my life all I ever did was (try)

What if I showed up, could it be enough?
What if I showed up, could it be enough
I can't be everything, that I wanna be for you
But I'll be here trying
