Текст песни Doin' My Best (feat. Juan Gotti, SPM & Devin the Dude) - Carolyn Rodriguez & DJ Red

Them wanna test me, yeah, yeah
Them wanna push me past the edge of darkness
Lord, what makes 'em so heartless
These days tryna maintain is the hardest
My mama said, 'you got a gift so you gotta give'
But it's hard to stay positive through all of it
Lord, I'm just doin' my best

People sometimes ain't feel me, what's up with the Juan Gotti
What the fuck he been doin, what he been writing, what he been droppin
What the fuck is his problem, Trump deporting our people
We all need a hood hero, tryna fight evil might won't be so simple
I been tryna get better, high and light as a feather
Cruisin' with my beretta under my sweater, si algo quieren
I'm just tryna stay livin, workin hard on my vision
Always on a quick mission, stay cocinando all in my kitchen
Tatted up like Snake Pliskin, Gotti sigue viviendo
Swangin all through my ghetto, turn the shit up, subele recio
Why's it harder to let go something that ain't no bueno
Focus all on my pedo, go up a level, makin it better, uh

Them wanna test me, yeah, yeah
Them wanna push me past the edge of darkness
Lord, what makes 'em so heartless
These days tryna maintain is the hardest
My mama said, 'you got a gift so you gotta give'
But it's hard to stay positive through all of it
Lord, I'm just doin' my best

Watchin' the world crumble from the concrete jungle
Survival of the fittest, through it all stay humble
Them don't like when you poppin, them want you to fail
But me never gon' stop and gon' always prevail
Gotta feel me or just miss me with that, them haters gonna get mad
No matter what them gonna talk so might as well accept that
Hard times gon' show you who's really down
When the heat starts to rise and we all have to
Jump
Into the fire and react to the flame
What we do in the dark will alway surface one day
I've been through hell and high water dodgin' sharks on the way
I'm just doin' my best holdin' on to my faith, but

Them wanna test me, yeah, yeah
Them wanna push me past the edge of darkness
Lord, what makes 'em so heartless
These days tryna maintain is the hardest
My mama said, 'you got a gift so you gotta give'
But it's hard to stay positive through all of it
Lord, I'm just doin' my best

It's a feelin' deep inside when you don't have much
'Cept the touch of a single mother's love n' such
Had a vision I would see myself in Lambs and 'Rari's
Win the rap game Superbowl, 12 Lombardi's
It's a funny thing you know, where this life can lead
For awhile I didn't even think I could bleed
Had that Superman mentality, could be bipolar
Give a fuck about nathin' 'cept to be a highroller
But what is more important, real friends or a Benz?
Cuz when you make it to the top everything is pretend
Everybody wears a mask so reality slips
Into a dark that's more darker than the darkest of tint
So take a hit and just appreciate the job that ya got
Your family and friends, 'cause that's all that you got
I'm in a one man cell livin' life all alone
But it's not much difference from when I sat on the throne

It's hard to maintain in the land of strange things
People playin' lame games simply for the fame mayne
Stayin' focused is the key, that's the way it's sposed to be
Ain't nothin funny when you're runnin with these jokers in the streets
It's easy to get tested, easy to get arrested
So watch how yo time is invested
The best is yet to come if you just stick to whatcha doin'
And don't let nobody ruin all the greatness you're pursuin
Don't let 'em block your blessings, stop ya stressin'
Life is like a lesson, listen this is my confession
I try to give positive knowledge to the people
Yes I like to smoke but no it ain't all about the reefer
Keep your mind occupied, stay relentless
'Cause if you tempted then your troubles could be endless
I'ma end this on this here note, keep your faith
And don't let 'em take away your hope

Them wanna test me, yeah, yeah
Them wanna push me past the edge of darkness
Lord, what makes 'em so heartless
These days tryna maintain is the hardest
My mama said, 'you got a gift so you gotta give'
But it's hard to stay positive through all of it
Lord, I'm just doin' my best
