I Tried Culture

[Intro]
O, I pray Jah people to know, good from evil
And turn from their wicked ways and do good

[Chorus]
I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
To make them understand
I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
But they just can't understand
I tried and I tried and I tried
To make them understand
I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
But they just can't understand

[Verse 1]
The more penalization is up on their back
The more foolish they becomes
The more victimization is up on their backs
They satisfy, Lord, for less

[Chorus]
But I try, I try
To make them understand
I try... but they just can't understand

[Verse 2]
The more penalization is up on their back
The more foolish they becomes
The more victimization is up on their back
They satisfy, Lord, for less
