[Intro: Zakari]
(I lost count of the ways you let me down
But, no matter how many times you weren’t around
I’m alright now, yeah
God picked up my heart and helped me through
And shined a light on the one thing left to do
And that’s forgive you, I forgive you)

[Chorus: Zakari]
I try so hard, but I failed you
Stepped to the side, and I let you by
I didn’t think about you
Dealin’ with the crime, I did the time

[Verse 1: Zakari]
I try so freakin’ hard, but I don’t know how I failed you
I didn’t wanna fail, but it’s crap, what I put you through
In forgiveness, there is light, and I don’t think you’ll forgive me
I try so hard, but the worst is what you see
But, I need to make it right
Before you have to fight
I don’t really get why
We have to argue and fight
Why?

[Chorus: Zachy]
I try so hard, but I failed you
Stepped to the side, and I let you by
I didn’t think about you
Dealin’ with the crime, I did the time, yeah
[Verse 2: NF (if he's fine with it lol)]
I’m outta oxygen, yeah
I’m tryna fix up the world
I don’t care ’bout what they say
As long as I’m livin’ my own way
They say living is much as ABC
Yeah, living is as easy as 1, 2, 3
Life is just a game that people wanna play
They say it is a race to the end
Yeah, it’s a therapy session, not a race
You let your baby down, like they all thought ya would
Ya better sing, “I’m sorry that I let you down”
"You’re livin’ a lie", sometimes, I feel like I’m outta life
Nothing inside while you live your luxurious life
Lemme know when it occurs to you when it happens
Your luxury crashes down without an end, AAH

[Chorus: Zachy]
I try so hard, but I failed you
Stepped to the side, and I let you by
I didn’t think about you
Dealin’ with the crime, I did the time

[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Zakari]
I try so hard, but I failed you
I didn’t think about you
[Chorus: Zachy]
I try so hard, but I failed you
Stepped to the side, and I let you by
I didn’t think about you
Dealin’ with the crime, I did the time
I try so hard, but I failed you
Stepped to the side, and I let you by
I didn’t think about you
Dealin’ with the crime, I did the time
I try so hard, but I failed you
Stepped to the side, and I let you by
I didn’t think about you
Dealin’ with the crime, I did the time

[Outro: Zachy]
I did the crime, gotta do the time
Dealin' with the crime, I did the time
