I’ve Tried Jesse Abraham (Ft. Chino XL)

Effort
Effort to grow and to improve
To progress
I've tried to be excellent
With no regrets
That shit's not easy

[Verse 1: Jesse Abraham]
They say a lesson’s more impressive than a blessing
I've tried to learn by sweating
I’m just guessing that earning is more deserving and worthy of your attention
Never trusted my senses
It’s a justified sentence
My two cents is try adjusting my lens
It’s defenseless
Now I can see better
Heavens have sent me to breathe letters
So keep your green cheddar
Given nothing but reasons to quit
Not talking bout spittin
I’m talking bout slittin a wrist
You getting the jist?
But I'm fin’ to persist cuz I love to exist
Give a hug and a kiss to my mother and sister
And on the seventh day God took a rest
But I'm not into resting
Life's just too interesting
And I ain’t made a universe so what am I restin for?
Rest assured I think the best's in store
And I'm a test it til my chest is sore
They say that less is more
Then they invest in wars
They stay obsessed with oil
I'm dressin warm and when we storm the pentagon with weapons drawn
To settle the score I’ll revel in awe
Pepper my sweater with veteran thoughts
