R.O.Y Lyrics by Marqus Clae

[Chorus]
Keep on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Just keep right on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)

[Verse 1]
12:29, ’99, I made my mark
God gave me a script and I managed to play my part
Ketchup stains covered my shirt, they favored blood puddles
Reportin’ live the syrup sizzle up sud bubbles
My mama slavin’ two jobs to turn in money orders
The life I lived was too hard, I’m garglin’ holy water, damn
I just want to ball too hard like Kobe’s daughter
It’s like the ocean how Clae be puttin’ his flows in order
My granny died in 2010 and I died with her
Fuck the world, now I understand Tupac’s picture
Locked in the midst of feelin’ like no one gives a fuck, damn, so why should I drown in these silent cries?
I used to think I was cursed with the devil’s dirt ’til I took a shovel and dug up a hole as big as the Earth
Life up my shirt and see the war scars fill up my sternum
That’s why these Backwoods burnin’ like fire in a furnace, I gotta

[Chorus]
Keep on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Just keep right on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Look
Keep on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Just keep right on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
My mama used to iron my school clothes
French toast, cargos book bag, two-toned
Beatin’ niggas black and blue before I knew would rap could do
Back when I was passin’ through the most deserted avenues
Sherm sticks turn niggas to animals, numb to the touch
They mixin’ cocaine and bud in a blunt
Body’s found lyin’ next to potholes
Projects with unlocked doors
Lookin’ up to local Pablo’s, guap is colossal
I was young and stuck at a crossroad, a truly lost soul
Maneuverin’ by sound and light like it was morse code
And I applaud those that rose from a dark hole
I’m talkin’ dark as charcoal and put they self in the boss mode
These washed up rappers want to fuck with the young jit
Dump quick and leave you slumped over at pump six, dumb shit
We automatically adapt to violence
It became a normality, duckin’ statistic casualties, fuck it

[Chorus]
Keep on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Yeah, no matter what nigga
Just keep right on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Don’t be a victim of the game
Keep on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
Nothin’ deceives like success
Just keep right on tryin’ (Keep on tryin’)
