Try My Best
[Chorus:]
When I try my best they just want me losin' again
I seem to make a name for me and my friends
In this town I call home they'd just rather me dead
They don't wanna see me leave they wanna put me to rest
Cause when I try my best they just want me losin' again
I'm sorry for the name put on me and my friends
In this town I hate the most they'd just rather me dead
All I wanna do is leave so don't put me to rest, yeah

[Verse 1:]
Put me to rest, you won't
I will not test, you know
I live my life peacefully and count all my blessings up
They won't let my record go, got my mom stressin' for
Me every time I leave my house, will I make it home?
Cause she don't fuckin' know, got POP on patrol
They see my license plate and know that I'm doin' nothin' wrong
But still flick the sirens on, thinking imma run, what the fuck is you smokin' on?
Reaching for your gun, I'm a broke white kid in a town full of rich
I'll never fit in, that's just how it is
I've learned to accept that's the life that I live
I could never do good they'll only know me for, cause

[Chorus:]
When I try my best they just want me losin' again
I seem to make a name for me and my friends
In this town I call home they'd just rather me dead
They don't wanna see me leave they wanna put me to rest
Cause when I try my best they just want me losin' again
I'm sorry for the name put on me and my friends
In this town I hate the most they'd just rather me dead
All I wanna do is leave so don't put me to rest, yeah
