Everyday, somethin` in my way, I try
S**t ain`t goin` right, I try to see the light, I try
It`s like my eyes got a cover on `em
And somethin` holdin` me back
A better man, better level, better know, I try

Yeah yo, listen, I done played with the snakes in the grass
Paid for my mistakes I made in the past
Everybody ate when I came wit the cash
At least I tried to ride the wave till it crashed

Same wood on the gun handle is on the dash
All the hoods that son ran through is on smash
They can`t identify you wit a mask
And the Bible will tell you nothin` is gonna last

The name of da game`s survival
If you make it alive when you ride through, they make it arrival
My boo is gon` ride, you know I am gon` ride, too
Make an M everyday, I am gon` try to, let`s go

Everyday, somethin` in my way, I try
S**t ain`t goin` right, I try to see the light, I try
It`s like my eyes got a cover on `em
And somethin` holdin` me back
A better man, better level, better know, I try

Yeah yo, I tried to tell ni**as I`m willin` to blast for it
I only try to give it to ni**as that ask for it
Got them things on the scale, I`m still weighin` `em
Thought my dues was paid, I`m still payin` `em

Couple Elanor`s and the Goose I am still payin` `em
Semi`s and the fulli`s know that the truth stay wit `em
Wolves and gorillas is loose so don`t play with `em
Somethin`s holdin` `em back, nothin` that you could say to `em

Popped champagne wit Biggie at the Palladium
Put that good hawk work in with the titaniums
S**t switch around when them heats get fired
And ya peeps just died but I least he tried, let`s go

Everyday, somethin` in my way, I try
S**t ain`t goin` right, I try to see the light, I try
It`s like my eyes got a cover on `em
And somethin` holdin` me back
A better man, better level, better know, I try

Yeah, watch the game get tooken over
I am still on the same side of the fence, I am just lookin` over
A solider from the gravel to the grass
To the obstacles in life I traveled in the past

Whether I`m holdin` a mic or holdin` a Mac
It`s like an invisible force is holdin` me back
But I ain`t lettin` go of my pride
After I get the dough I slide, better know I tried, let`s go

Everyday, somethin` in my way, I try
S**t ain`t goin` right, I try to see the light, I try
It`s like my eyes got a cover on `em
And somethin` holdin` me back
A better man, better level, better know, I try

Here come another day up on me
Put the pressure on me, here we go again, ah
I try to do what`s right when life is so wrong
I want a better way, I see a better day
`Nuff wit the people said, I want a better me
God knows that I try but time won`t wait for me

Everyday, somethin`, in my way, I try
S**t ain`t goin` right, I try to see the light, I try
It`s like my eyes got a cover on `em
And somethin` holdin` me back
A better man, better level, better know, I try
