LYRICALLY SPEAKING: TRYNA BE GOOD

I wrote this lyrical poetry years ago when I began my journey back to myself and my power. I feel like it’s a perfect ode for the time and space I’m at right now.

I hope these words inspire you as well.

If y’all wanna send me a celebration gift for my 1 year sobriety, you can leave a tip here . Shoutout to y’all who have donated your money, prayers, encouragement and support this past year. It’s been the hardest year of my life and y’all made me feel a lil less alone in this time of isolation and refinement.

Also stay tuned this Sunday at 11am where I will be go LIVE to celebrate and discuss the one year anniversary of me giving up alcohol, cigarettes and weed at the same rassclot time!

Let’s get into the lyrics:

TRYNA BE GOOD

Better days, better dreams;

It's not really out of reach.

It's not in the words you preach.

Action activates the key.

You the biggest adversary in your own adversity.

Confidence is what you need.

You stuck on complacency.

“Tryna be good.”

Man, quit your trying and just let it be.

Either be about it or you try for all eternity.

Never fear rejection.

Only open doors of destiny.

No does not reflect on me.

What is mine is set for me.

Tryna be good.

But when I'm bad it get the best of me.

Always build myself up cause nobody else invests in me.

Words have all the power so I speak love till the death of me;

Speak with every breath of me;

Must protect my energy.

Tryna be good.

It starts with watching all the friends I keep.

Who's a helping hand and who pretends until they snare your feet.

Snakes are always grazing so I mow the lawn and keep it clean.

Gotta keep it sucker free then elevate to bring the team.

Tryna be good: Misunderstood how to do betterment

Tryna eat food: And then my body craved synthetic things.

I’ll always be hood: But I was destined to do better things.

Better things.

Better things.

I'm trying to be the good that I want to see.

I cried out for some help and YAH told me return to me.

I walk a different path and they look at me differently.

They diffident and they resent the courage to be unique.

I'm trying to raise the level for my people, the frequency.

They stuck between the lies of lullabies and complacency.

From static to erratic, cause they still follow masonry.

I hasten the arrival of my flow, now just taste and see.

What kind of temple you keeping?

What kind of demons you feeding?

The poison's not just what you're eating, it's the leaders misteaching.

What kind of stance are your feet in?

Are you still paraplegic?

Relying on the enemy for what you need, what's the reason?

But now we in a new season, we bang the drum cause we bleeding.

Been trying to cut off what I'm fiending cause I cry when I need it.

Ain't got time to waste on GMO; I'm from a greater seed.

Gotta keep it sucker free then elevate to bring the team.

Tryna be good: Misunderstood how to do betterment

Tryna eat food: And then my body craved synthetic things.

I’ll always be hood: But I was destined to do better things.

Better things.

Better things.

I was destined to BE.

All day and night, all night and day

I’m tryna be.

I’m tryna BE.

All day and night, all night and day

I’m tryna be good.

I’m tryna BE GOOD.

I’m tryna BE.
