Tryin' was written by Steph in January 1996. It almost made it to the split cd we did with ThirdFall, but we kept it for the album.
lyrics
I would ignore this situation,
It's getting out of hand
A funny word isn't appropriate
I got in this situation and it's getting even worse
I got arrested, I offended someone
I don't know what you should feel
When questioned about the way it was
I am trying, When I should be crying
Borrowed this from my best friend
He's out of luck and out of friend
He beats me up like no one can
I'm black and blue to look like you
