Wax - I Shoulda Tried Harder Lyrics
[Hook]If I woulda tried harderI would be all I can beIf I woulda tried harderI could have sailed the seven seasIf I woulda tried harderI would be a better manI guess I shoulda tried harderBut I didn't, so here I am[Verse 1]I should probably be a star by nowBut I'm probably at the bar by nowIf you're hearing this past 5, or even 4If it's morning I'm probably somewhere on a cement floorEven more so if we're on tourMe and E explore the country wondering about the evening beforeTrying to explain where the time wentWhile other rappers find a studio to grind inKinda like when Kobe finds a gymBut the flow be IversonYes homie I am him ('practice?')I don't practice a lotIt's not a habit I gotI'd rather smoke pot and kick it with Craig and themBut Craig and them ain't making benjaminsThey're just sitting on the couch again, again and againDamn, free time, I always wasted itI wonder what my life would've been like if I'd have gave a shit[Hook]If I woulda tried harderI would be all I can beIf I woulda tried harderI could have sailed the seven seasIf I woulda tried harderI would be a better manI guess I shoulda tried harderBut I didn't, so here I am[Verse 2]Back in high school, the shit was a breezeI smoked a bunch of trees and I still got B'sGot high as ***** on my SAT's? as far as score making, and right before taking themI've never worked harder at a job than requiredI've only worked hard enough not to be firedIt's like Office SpaceYou'd have thought that Peter was thereOr Jennifer Aniston rocking minimum pieces of flairI couldn't imagine what would've happenedIf God wouldn't have made me good at rappingIt's only cause of that a good life I provide myselfBut just think, what if I'd applied myselfI could be another level richSponsored by a bubble beverageOn television talking about how good Dr. Pepper isI wish I was as ambitious as 50 CentI could have went the same route that him and Diddy wentBut alas...[Hook]If I woulda tried harderI would be all I can beIf I woulda tried harderI could have sailed the seven seasIf I woulda tried harderI would be a better manI guess I shoulda tried harderBut I didn't, so here I am[Outro]Michael Jordan, I ain't talking to you, nopeOprah Winfrey, I ain't talking to you, nopeBill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, I ain't talking to ya'll, nopeTiger Woods, yeah, I possibly am talking to youBut Donald Trump I ain't talking to youTo my man who's the Pope, I ain't talking to youTo Chuck Norris, I ain't talking to youBill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, I ain't talking to youSteve Jobs, rest in peace, but I ain't talking to youTo my mannnnnnnnnn- Neil Armstrong, I ain't talking to youOr Lance Armstrong, I ain't talking to youIf your name is something that ends with ArmstrongI probably ain't talking to you
