[Verse 1]

I made more on the day that my album dropped than I did the whole of last year

And that's bragging rights but is bragging right when you still give in to your fear

See I've had a son and I've found a girl but still focusing on my woes

And I found that even though you might feel the cons your whole life is still about pros

And I've got ex's, so many ex's

So many stresses

So many times that I tried to fight but got broken down like it's Tetris

I was so determined to be a man that I lost myself and got desperate

And when Sam was born I got scared cos I know that kids become your reflections

And thе fact that I had no father figure, it turned mе into this further figure

I knew I had to make cash for him whether a CEO or a garden digger

And when I can't deliver, shit

That's like a punch to the heart

I never had much from the start but I still took risks in the way that I trusted my art

And that shit was hard, that shit was bleak

See I had no money to eat, but I still made sure he had socks on his feet

Still made sure he had bottled to feed

And I'm not reaching for extra props

Cos it's my job to connect the dots

And now I can't live life with forget-me-nots

But he's gonna live right man I swear to god

[Chorus]

Tryna do the right thing, right thing

Even though it's tiring, tiring

You'll never find me hiding, hiding

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Tryna do the right thing, yeah yeah

You'll never find me hiding, yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

Now I know what you're thinking

You got a daughter too and of course I do

But back then I was young hadn't thought it through

I just did what I could like I ought to do

But don't get it twisted, damn

I still love her the same

But I was 20 years old it was early days

I didn't think like this I was rarely fazed

And I was young back then

Plus I was in love had the help of her mum back then

Wasn't scared of the life that I run back then

Wasn't caught in a web that I spun back then

But it's different now, yeah

I'm seeing more distant now

I'm a single parent that shit gets tough

So I gotta seek out some wisdom now, cus now

I got two little younglings

So I need to offer them something

They look to me to guide them so no matter what now I gotta keep fronting

Gotta hold it together

True say ima hold it forever

Ima make sure they stay good like a real man should

Ima make it better

[Chorus]

Tryna do the right thing, right thing

Even though it's tiring, tiring

You'll never find me hiding, hiding

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Tryna do the right thing, yeah yeah

You'll never find me hiding, yeah yeah

[Bridge]

You'll never find me hiding

Even though it's tiring

[Chorus]

Tryna do the right thing, right thing

Even though it's tiring, tiring

You'll never find me hiding, hiding

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Ima carry on, and on, and on

Tryna do the right thing, yeah yeah

You'll never find me hiding, yeah yeah
