Lyric

Yeah, you can try to love your woman, try to love your friendsTry to love your neighbor, you can try it againTry to go to church, try to live your lifeProbably still be tryin’ on the day that you die
Well, if you’re tryin’ you ain’t tryin’, there’s work to do, sonYou can’t get up early, baby, you can’t get it doneRoll up your sleeves, don’t tell me that you can’tMake something, something, if you’re tryin’ you ain’t
Try something old, try something newTry it when no one else is even watchin’ but youTry just a little, try it too muchTry an over do it and it still ain’t enough
And if you’re tryin’ you ain’t, there’s work to do sonYou can’t get up early, baby, you can’t get it doneRoll up your sleeves, don’t tell me that you can’tMake something, something, if you’re tryin’ you ain’t
Tryin’, tryin’ you ain’tTryin’, tryin’
Well, if you’re tryin’ you ain’t, there’s work to do sonYou can’t get up early, baby, you can’t get it doneRoll up your sleeves, don’t tell me that you can’tMake something, something, if you’re tryin’ you ain’t
And if you’re tryin’ you ain’t, there’s work to do sonYou can’t get up early, baby, you can’t get it doneRoll up your sleeves, don’t tell me that you can’tMake something, something, if you’re tryin’ you ain’t
Tryin’, tryin’Tryin’ you ain’tTryin still tryinTryin’ you ain’t
