Julian Marley - Trying

[Intro]
Hmmm...
Ooh...
I was sitting, playing my guitar
Mind open, elevating far
Thinking how I can feed my fam'

[Chorus]
I'm trying (trying), can't you overstand?
(Keep on trying, yes, we keep on trying)
I'm trying (trying), to be a better man
(Can't you understand? Gotta be a better man)
Trying (trying), can't you overstand?
(Keep on trying, yes, we keep on trying)
Creation, it's all in our hands
(Can't you understand? Gotta be a better man)
Hey

[Verse 1]
You could try if you want to (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We will make it some day
Never you accept failure (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Said bitty doesn't pay

[Chorus]
We trying (trying), can't you overstand?
(Keep on trying, yes, we keep on trying)
I'm trying (trying), to be a better man
(Can't you understand? Gotta be a better man)
Trying (trying), can't you overstand?
(Keep on trying, yes, we keep on trying)
Creation, it's all in our hands
(Can't you understand? Gotta be a better man)
Hey

[Verse 2]
Every day people are slaved (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Standards of living has decayed
Don't even want to be called out (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So much more we shall attain

[Chorus]
By trying (trying), can't you overstand?
(Keep on trying, yes, we keep on trying)
Liberation, it's all in our hands
(Can't you understand? Gotta be a better man)
I'm trying (trying), can't you over-sta-a-and
(Keep on trying, yes, we keep on trying)
Creation, it's all in our hands
(Can't you understand? Gotta be a better man)
Ohh yeah

[Verse 3]
Put away all distractions (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Then, step on through the open gate
In African choices (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
You've got to keep a little faith

[Bridge]
Sitting, playing my guitar
Mind open, elevating far
Thinking how I can feed my fam'
Gotta be a genie with a master plan
Walking through this world so cold
I got my dream I'm in control
Straight to the point, don't lose your soul
Got your dream, be in control

[Outro]
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Yo, people
Don't ever stop trying, seen?
Keep the dreams alive, now
Keep your dreams alive, yeah-eh-eh
