I’m Trying

[00:36.84] Four year-old at play
[00:38.75] Shot and killed today
[00:40.75] Never even had a chance
[00:44.68] Seventeen and high
[00:46.73] Threw away his life
[00:48.72] Has a gun to feel like he's a man
[00:53.94] Can't have it any other way
[01:00.30] Laying in the street
[01:02.38] Asking for a drink
[01:04.27] Doesn't have a place to live
[01:08.03] Pregnant at thirteen
[01:10.03] Still can hear the screams
[01:12.02] Something that she never will forget
[01:17.21] Can't have it any other way
[01:24.79]
[01:30.49] I'm trying
[01:34.11] To open my mind
[01:40.34]
[01:43.13] So you can keep your faith
[01:45.27] And i'll just walk away
[01:47.15] There's no reason for me to stay
[01:56.23]
[02:00.12] Can't have it any other way
[02:07.82] Can't have it any other way
[02:09.78] I'm trying
[02:25.19] To open my mind
[02:29.10] I'm trying
[02:33.03] To open my mind, mind
[02:39.36] I'm trying
[02:43.26] To make up my mind
[02:46.86]
