Chino Xl - I've Tried lyrics

Effort Effort to grow and to improve To progress I've tried to be excellent With no regrets That sh**'s not easy [Verse 1: Jesse Abraham] They say a lesson's more impressive than a blessing I've tried to learn by sweating I'm just guessing that earning is more deserving and worthy of your attention Never trusted my senses It's a justified sentence My two cents is try adjusting my lens It's defenseless Now I can see better Heavens have sent me to breathe letters So keep your green cheddar Given nothing but reasons to quit Not talking bout spittin I'm talking bout slittin a wrist You getting the jist? But I'm fin' to persist cuz I love to exist Give a hug and a kiss to my mother and sister And on the seventh day God took a rest But I'm not into resting Life's just too interesting And I ain't made a universe so what am I restin for? Rest a**ured I think the best's in store And I'm a test it til my chest is sore They say that less is more Then they invest in wars They stay obsessed with oil I'm dressin warm and when we storm the pentagon with weapons drawn To settle the score I'll revel in awe Pepper my sweater with veteran thoughts Quotes from Emerson and Jefferson represents rhetoric in how to be better than flawed [Verse 2: Chino XL] I've tried my best to become a beloved righteous man In the dark, holding the torch to the violence that's in my heart (It's the spark) To start a revolution of the mind But I find that I am more of an animal type With a knife swipe that'll have you bleeding by pints (Most nights) I fights with my inner self My sinner self My Eddie Vedder Jeremy better get some help but I am somewhere else (Where) Lost would be too small of a word I sort of preferred Philosophers once told me that my d**h has been greatly encouraged But I submerged My sin is the curse With administers courage And swam to the depths of hell where my corpse had once furnished Burning in the furnace but my spirits surfaced Thus acquiring skeletal wings that could not be purchased Destroying enemies of the art form became my soul's sole purpose Once my words are transmitted The core of the earth is shifted The orbiting worlds tilted The curse of my verse lifted Your neck is so exposed I slit it Committed to spittin venom through time continuums Rippin the voice boxes of the lineages of those who don't rhyme legitimate I plead innocent Wickedest citizens Is it my imagination figment That I could tear a motherf**er's bones from his ligaments? Minus the cheap bravado Big Chino with the deepest styles That run wild like bulimia in Victoria's Secret models [Verse 3: Jesse Abraham] You feel it? You feel it? You feel it? You feel it? You feel it? You feel it? You feel it? Yo Feel that water inside? I ain't got nothing to hide You could end up in hot water when you skatin on thin ice That separation divides We needed both of those sides I ain't got nothing to hide Y'all got nothing but hype When the water starts to boil Why not keep the fire on high? I ain't got nothing to hide Y'all got nothing but hype I'm not bluffin or lying I'm not puffin with pride I write with ink so permanently Y'all are pencils bein led We Feel that water inside I got nothing to hide The goal's the journey and I'm learning all the time God knows that I've tried All I know is survive I ain't got nothing to hide Y'all got nothing but hype Your mind is fine So just unwind Stay unified I am water You are wine There ain't no reason to whine There ain't no reason to cry I ain't got nothing but time I ain't got nothing to hide I ain't got nothing to hide I ain't got nothing to hide
