Why Do I Try?

Let's think about what happened
I don't really know
You talk a big game
But your actions are slow
I am pretty easy
As mellow as it goes
Why do I try?
Why do I try?

I feel like I'm giving too much
To people that couldn't give two fucks about me
And my efforts to sustain these kinships
If you only knew how fast I could end it
Act like I never do enough
I hear from a source that you don't appreciate me
Even though all I've ever done, is hook a brother up

Why do I try?
Why do I-

Let's think about what happened
I don't really know
You talk a big game
But your actions are slow
I am pretty easy
As mellow as it goes
Why do I try?
Why do I try?

It's about time that I set my own standard
You open my eyes
To the motherfucking cancer
People all around me always thinking too much
Get their fill, and all I get is dust
I give them an outlet
To demonstrate their craft
In return, I get a kick in the ass
The disrespect has gone way too far
I'm cutting you off, kick you out the door

Let's think about what happened
I don't really know
You talk a big game
But your actions are slow
I am pretty easy
As mellow as it goes
Why do I try?
Why do I try?

I can't believe that you have the fuckin' nerve
To act so rash like you were so disturbed
I think it's a croc of shit
I'll tell you what
I slipped on my trust
Like a puddle of mud
Just tired of people actin' like they care
Then disappearing out of sight, into thin air
Then I get a phone call, askin' for a favor
I guess I'll see you later
