Try

They tell me I should write a song, cut an album But ain't nobody listening Ain't nobody paying for it Ain't nobody waiting on it Caught up in them slick beats They don't even hear the words Never hit a heart change Not even a heart string Pulled by the puppeteer this world calls its father They dolled up Strolling down a road paved with only what they wanna hear Praying to themselves for the answers that they never have Affirmation coming from a guru on a webpage Men dropping knowledge who don't even know they own fate How they tellin' me what I'm doing wrong in my lane They don't even know the basic principle of Love came I'm just trying to find a reason why Sick of trying to reason in the world The only reason it know is to lie And I know all the reasons I should try But I'm just weary working all this time With nothing here to show but questions Why try? With nothing here to show but questions Why try? What if the Savior of the world had the same questions I do When He asked that this cup be passed from His Passion Saw all the corruption in leadership passed on To those that they claimed to be shepherding wisely False sense of holy, no try form of Godly Denying His power Relying in human But I'm sounding judgemental, More aggressive than I have been 'Cause I can't sit back and keep watching it happen People gettin' shot in propagandized fashion Souls being lost, so-called Christians laughing Laid back relaxing, no burden for lost heat Just like Israel failed in its time we're laxing I'm just trying to find a reason why Sick of trying to reason in the world The only reason it know is to lie And I know all the reasons I should try But I'm just weary working all this time With nothing here to show but questions Why try? Nothing here to show but questions Why try? Why try? Give up Why try? Give up Why try? What if Jesus gave up What if Job gave in too? What if Joseph inflicted self-harm in his cell? What if David had said I'm too sinful for this And let his whole life be consumed by his flesh? What if Steven had said, "Never mind, I'm just playing" What if Paul let the thorn in his flesh drive his life What if Rahab had said, "They're here, kill 'em dead" The woman with the issue of blood never touched And Esther had never believed in her prayers
