Die Trying CeeLo Green

[Hook]
See there's no way and there's no how
That I could stop now
I'mma die tryin', I'mma die trying
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
But I'mma keep on. I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' (MMMMMM)

Before we came being southern wasn't something to claim
That flag wasn't something to fly it was something to blame
Smilin' and shuckin' and jivin' I was so ashamed
They did us dirty, apparently an appropriate name
I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul
Spoke with my spirit and mind, my ambition was blind
Answering the call of God like a child obeying
Preaching the very same proverbs they killed Martin for saying
But you can't break the mold in by holding your breath
Thought if I died for you, that would be an honorable death
So sincere my eyes begin to swell up and tear
And it's clear, my music may not do well up in here
Oh my god being a nigga must be a good payin job
With all the fringe benefits, ignorance is bliss
There is a time and a place for everybody's taste
But I know too much and I owe too much

[Hook]
