[Scarface] 

She don't wanna be with me no mo' 

Ain't her fault she just tired of this dumb shit that she don't know 

Whether to, throw in the towel or if he gon' grow 

And if he do, where is he gon' go? 

Got a letter from an old friend, I read it and cried 

When he told me that his girl just died 

Right out of the blue, breast cancer, wasn't nothin to do 

Now I'm sittin here and thinkin of you 

Tryin to come to amends, cause really I done wanted you in 

You the only one I trust as a friend 

I know I'm on my last leg limpin with this bullshit written 

But I still gotta bring it to light 

Spent half of a lifetime missin cause I would not listen 

Confused about my wrong and my rights 

They tellin me that time heals wounds though 

This wound gon' need some stitches; I got testimony for niggaz 

You doin what you do but when the shoe gets flipped 

Standin on the other foot got your boots and shit 

When you back up and analyze, fix shit and finalize 

Before you leave the shit alone just try 

Maybe there's somethin you can do to rectify what's did 

And plus you gotta think of the kids 

That's kinda just the way life is, you either gotta live or you die 

At least that I can say that I tried 



[Chorus: Scarface] 

Cause I tried, I tried to do the best I could 

Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough 

Cause when it's over, said shit done 

You sittin by yourself mixed up 

But I tried, I tried to do the best I could 

Sometimes I guess my best ain't good... enough 

Cause when it's over, said shit done 

You sittin by yourself mixed up, but I tried 



[Willie D] 

Faster than a crackhead, can pawn yo' shit 

Willie D'll put a foot in you bitch 

I sold dope, robbed folks, had to make ends meet 

Since 5th grade, I been up in these streets, tryin to get it 

Raised by a single mother, two sisters two brothers 

I used to think she didn't love us 

Cause she beat us so much, plus she came home drunk 

But every now and then she'd knock on wood, and say 

I tried to do the best that I could - and I believe her 

Cause she was treated evil out the box 

You can't get what you ain't got 

Momma I was young, hittin licks, started helpin you out 

'Bout the closest that you came to a man of the house 

I was talkin back, walkin through the do' gettin smacked 

You used to brag to your friends on how, well I rapped 

We never really got along but when you took sick 

I was at your side 'til you died 

I wasn't the best son but I tried 



[Chorus] 



[Bushwick Bill] 

I've always been crook, never given up 

But the past few years has been really rough 

Felt like givin up a couple of times 

Take a jump or plant a slug deep, up in my mind 

Fuck it I'm dyin, done wit strugglin for mine 

Sleepin on fans, knowin there ain't no use to me lyin 

Change my name for anonymity's sake 

But a four feet dwarf that be on television's hard to miss 

I get pissed over little shit, little shit drive me crazy 

Then I start thinkin 'bout my babies 

I cain't go to jail, I cain't die 

Who better to teach 'em 'bout this cruel world than I? 

Their mommas won't let me see 'em, I still pay my support 

Cause once you give life, life is bigger than yours 

Maybe I'm not all you expect me to be 

But when it's done and said ultimately, daddy tried 



[Chorus]
