[Verse 1: Iman Nunez]
Boosting my ego
With a couple of zeros that I ain’t make yet
I swore I’d change the game, not for a dollar or a paycheck
They looking for me now, like I’m made but I ain’t made yet
Held the city down, but they ain’t love you, they just hate back
I fell back, and watch my n***as try to make an impact
Had to teach them ways but they ain’t ready for pain and money that you lost but you gain, on the way
Fuck the fame, they gone love for the game, and what you say
From a place where they rather see you dead than a great
From a place that your momma gotta pray that you safe
But we chase, for the drugs and we can’t get away
Plus the bills piling up, and we can’t get a break
Hard enough we deal with pressures and lectures from one another
I write my pain away to leave you closer than my brother
With hopes to see a change, I pray my name will help recover
I balance out the highs so lows won't ever keep me under

[Chrous 1: Oswin Benjamin]
When all the bills are overdue
What am I supposed to do? (yeah)
When I tried, and I try, and I try
They pray away for me to fall
I pray the Lord'll get involved
Lord knows
That I've tried, and I try, and I try

[Verse 2: Iman Nunez]
I swear to god, I’ve been feeling so hella lonely
Nobody understands all the pressures
That stands before me
Been broke but have to put every single dime as I proceed
To records that ain’t sticking but touching hearts of the homies
On a mission seeking true commitment
And try my hardest not to keep you distant
But... I fear that you’ll cross me
Lord forgive me all my issues haunt me
I know I seem to be better off from your point of view
But best believe I struggle too
Still adjusting to meeting these expectations of putting on for the city
And heal the pain that you facing
Mmm, damn
I know I’m working through things
This Ain’t bout money or the fame
This way before the loose change
Life’s a blessing and a curse
But tell me what’s it really worth
It’s hard to talk about your feelings when somebody doing worse
Who do you talk to, if you the one they come to when they hurt
I mean.. I’m here for everything
But ain’t getting what I deserve
I’m honest

[Chrous 2: Oswin Benjamin]
When all the bills are overdue
What am I supposed to do? (yeah)
When I tried, and I try, and I try
They pray away for me to fall
I pray the Lord'll get involved
Lord knows
That I've tried, and I try, and I try
Oh no no
And I try and I try
Oh no no
And I try and I try

[Outro: Oswin Benjamin]
Oh no, no
What am I supposed to do?
When I try, and I try and I try
