I tried to tell em

I tried to tell em


[Hook: Novaking]

I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

(Tried to tell these motherfuckers I’m the one man)

Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to

Sliding through the city in my old school

I Tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea I tried to tell em


[Verse 1: Epidemic]

Pull up in the phantom, no it wasn’t tinted

No congratulations, they just asked me if it’s rented

Matter fact it is it cost me $1200 a day

And I’ve had it for a month, did I just fuck up your day

By the way - I was broke for 90% of my life

They was cutting off my lights

I almost cut my wrists twice

No need for the police for what?

We was from the streets

I tried to ask jesus for peace

Instead I got a jesus piece

I never was the one fam

Never a front man

But now these niggas filming, only right I gotta stunt man

Walk into the building to the side you tryna to front man

Jealous of my sun tan

Fuck man


[Hook: Novaking]

I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

(Tried to tell these motherfuckers I’m the one man)

Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to

Sliding through the city in my old school

I Tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea I tried to tell em


[Verse 2: Gunplay]

I tried to tell em

I tried to warn em

Told em I’m a slap you with my iron

I’m bout my money

He ain’t listen

Thought I was bs’ing - huh

Then I made the news cuz the robbery got messy

Now he know I’m bout that shit but now it’s too late

I had to turn the city into Baghdad and Kuwait

I tried to tell em man

I’m a walking felony

I done been to hell and back

And ain’t scared to go to jail again

Ain’t nothing bout me flawed

And you can bet that

Bet I whip a whip right off the lot and probably wreck that

Bet I drop the work into the pot and whip a wet sack

Bet I hit the block up with this rock and then collect racks


[Hook: Novaking]

I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

(Tried to tell these motherfuckers I’m the one man)

Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to

Sliding through the city in my old school

I Tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea I tried to tell em


[Verse 3: Zoey Dollaz]

I tried to tell em

But they ain’t believe me

I dropped on they ass and I ran through a check

I made it look easy

But they ain’t see all of the grind

They ain’t see all of the time

Somedays I wake up so hungry I couldn’t even drop a rhyme, uh

Now i’m jumping on them flights for the shows

Nickname me bomb cuz I’m bout to blow

Look at the look on they faces

Like I never told them I was gon make it

You niggas is too busy hating

I was on my grind, like I was skating

Now I’m jumping out of foreigns

I remember my car needed maintenance

But I tried to tell em I was getting to the money

I don’t owe nobody shit, can’t take shit from me

And I tried to tell em

But ain’t nobody listen

So if you can’t take the heat that a young nigga bringin, fuck out the kitchen

I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em

Oh yea, I tried to tell em

(Tried to tell these motherfuckers I’m the one man)

Yea yea, you see me getting to the money like I’m supposed to

Sliding through the city in my old school

I Tried to tell em

Ooh me oh my I tried to tell em
