I'm Trying Songtext / Lyric

A 4-year old at play

Shot and killed today

Never even had a chance

17 and high

Threw away his life

Has a gun to feel like he's a man

Can't have it any other way, no






Laying in the street

Askin' for a drink

Doesn't have a place to live

Pregnant at 13

Still can hear the screams

Something that she never will forget

Can't have it any other way, no



I'm trying, to open my mind

So you can keep your faith,

'Cause I'll just walk away

No reason for me to stay

I'm trying to open my mind

I'm trying to make up my mind
