Tried to Tell ’Em lyrics
by Epidemic
I tried to tell em
I tried to tell em
[Hook: Novaking]
I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherf*ckers I’m the one man)
Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em
[Verse 1: Epidemic]
Pull up in the phantom, no it wasn’t tinted
No congratulations, they just asked me if it’s rented
Matter fact it is it cost me $1200 a day
And I’ve had it for a month, did I just f*ck up your day
By the way - I was broke for 90% of my life
They was cutting off my lights
I almost cut my wrists twice
No need for the police for what?
We was from the streets
I tried to ask jesus for peace
Instead I got a jesus piece
I never was the one fam
Never a front man
But now these n*ggas filming, only right I gotta stunt man
Walk into the building to the side you tryna to front man
Jealous of my sun tan
f*ck man
[Hook: Novaking]
I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherf*ckers I’m the one man)
Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em
[Verse 2: Gunplay]
I tried to tell em
I tried to warn em
Told em I’m a slap you with my iron
I’m bout my money
He ain’t listen
Thought I was bs’ing - huh
Then I made the news cuz the robbery got messy
Now he know I’m bout that sh*t but now it’s too late
I had to turn the city into Baghdad and Kuwait
I tried to tell em man
I’m a walking felony
I done been to hell and back
And ain’t scared to go to jail again
Ain’t nothing bout me flawed
And you can bet that
Bet I whip a whip right off the lot and probably wreck that
Bet I drop the work into the pot and whip a wet sack
Bet I hit the block up with this rock and then collect racks
[Hook: Novaking]
I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherf*ckers I’m the one man)
Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em
[Verse 3: Zoey Dollaz]
I tried to tell em
But they ain’t believe me
I dropped on they ass and I ran through a check
I made it look easy
But they ain’t see all of the grind
They ain’t see all of the time
Somedays I wake up so hungry I couldn’t even drop a rhyme, uh
Now i’m jumping on them flights for the shows
Nickname me bomb cuz I’m bout to blow
Look at the look on they faces
Like I never told them I was gon make it
You n*ggas is too busy hating
I was on my grind, like I was skating
Now I’m jumping out of foreigns
I remember my car needed maintenance
But I tried to tell em I was getting to the money
I don’t owe nobody sh*t, can’t take sh*t from me
And I tried to tell em
But ain’t nobody listen
So if you can’t take the heat that a young n*gga bringin, f*ck out the kitchen
[Hook: Novaking]
I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea, I tried to tell em
(Tried to tell these motherf*ckers I’m the one man)
Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to
Sliding through the city in my old school
I Tried to tell em
Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
Oh yea I tried to tell em
