Die Trying Lyrics - Cee-lo Green Is The Soul Machine - Cee-lo

See there's no way and there's no how 

I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on 

But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

 

Before we came being in southern wasn't something to claim 

The fact wasn't something too fly it was something to blame 

Smilin' and juckin' and jivin' I was so ashamed 

They gave the dirty apparently appropriate name 

I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul 

Spoke with my spirit and mind my ambition was blind 

Answering the call of God like a child obeying 

Preaching the very same power they killed Martin for saying 

 

But you can't break the mold and not holding your breath 

Thought if I died for ya, that would be an honorable death 

So sincere my eyes begin to swell up in tear 

And it's clear my music may not do well up in here 

Oh my God being a nigga must be a good payin' job 

With all the fringe benefits, ignorance is bliss 

There is a time and the place for everybody's taste 

But I know too much and I owe too much 

 

See there's no way and there's no how 

I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on 

But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

 

So here it is, an invitation to an open book 

A painful past my heart is still broken look 

I know you don't hate me it's not assured that anyone appreciate me 

See I've been having a hard time selling my album's lately 

In recent news the source couldn't find any microphones to rate me 

Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me 

Which is true I'm in a box with a view would you still wanna date me? 

I could be a pretty good thug but it wouldn't compare to a great me 

 

The final cross to bear is mine it's not a cross to share 

But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought a cross to wear 

That obviously cost to wear but considerably less 

Than the price that it costs to care 

Now I have another loss to spare I doubt 'em say that I can't win 

Even though I know talking intelligent just ain't in 

You most likely to go broke when you just can't bend 

So me and J J both gon' have to pay bills 

 

See there's no way and there's no how 

I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on 

But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

 

Listen, people still standin' in line at the world party for some soul food 

To get put back in that old mood they say, we like the new 'lo 

And we respect everything that you trying to do 'lo 

Do what you do but just do more that you know 

It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry 

Now I'm under oath with them both and I couldn't lie 

 

Cussed 'em said that I'm too dope and I couldn't fly 

But you getting rich talkin' shit so why shouldn't I 

I'm just playing but I guess that couldn't go without saying 

I'm just gon' ride this revolution until they stop me where I'm stayin' 

But I ain't gotta have to lie to ya to make it sound fly to ya 

I keep my feet on the ground and bring the sky to ya 

 

See there's no way and there's no how 

I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin' 

And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on 

But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
