knowmads – my first song (keep tryin’) lyrics
[verse: tom pepe]
look, to tell the truth y’all – i’m feeling pretty lost
i was trying to be a boss but they nailed me to a cross
cut open my head so that they can read my thoughts
blessed with this gift but it came at a cost
i be cursed in my own mind, hurts when i don’t rhyme
workin’ on my verses like i’m searching through a gold mine
lately i’ve been faced with reality, even college graduates barely got a salary
rappers think they fat but they barely got a calorie
grew up in seattle, where they used to call me casualty
because i never backed down from a battle scene
life is good but it d-mn sure ain’t h-ssle free
an mc, well it’s sort of what i had to be
my life is one big beautiful catastrophe
i take a rap beat, turn it into a masterpiece
a starving artist, i ain’t leaving ’til i had a feast
there’s some things that i had to experience to stop being oblivious
and take life serious, i’m so tired everyday i feel delirious
only livin’ for the people who be hearing this
i make music cause see that’s where all my spirit is
the definition of a heart felt lyricist
hard to find, it don’t matter what year this is
nearly died now i’m livin’ with this fearlessness
like whatever gonna happen, hope it happens for a reason
if it don’t well then i’m coast, still be happy that i’m eating
life ain’t fair, that’s why i’m rappin’ instead of preachin’
so i’m absolutely p-ssionate with every word i’m speakin’
if you feel it then just p-ss it on, it’s more people i’m reachin
a student of the truth but it’s the youth that i be teachin’
if you breathing in the air seeing things ain’t really fair
make a difference because you can instead of livin’ like you isn’t there
most nights well i feel like i have to write, my life’s a chess game –
seeing things black and white. we live like animals, thinkin’ of the afterlife
it’s overwhelming so we drinkin’ or we p-ss the pipe
i go to rap shows, wishin’ they would p-ss the mic –
’cause they repeatin’ what you heard like a cl-ss you don’t like
i’m back in the fight, ain’t asking you twice it’s only ignorance left so i p-ss on the right
and…

[hook: tom pepe]
and i keep tryin’, giving you my soul but i know it ain’t the one that you buying
and i keep runnin’, feeling all alone but i know i didn’t come here with nothing
and i keep tryin’, giving you the real yo i feel what i know that you lying
and i keep tryin’, giving you my soul but i know it ain’t the one that you buying
and i keep tryin’, yo i keep tryin’
and i keep tryin, giving you my soul but i know it ain’t the one that you buying
still i keep tryin, yeah – i keep tryin’
i keep tryin’, giving you my soul but i know it ain’t the one that you buying
