Why would I try?
Why would I try?
Why would I try, try, try?
Why would I try to appease you?

Try to appease you
Strive just to please you
I'm known and I'm loved
Okay, I do not need you
Telling me I better be trying to be you
Your lies they are see-through
Try again, redo, ay
You've been trying to make me see that I need to live for me
And by me, you mean you, but either way it's not the King
Either way it's not working
Either way I'm not turning cause

Why would I try?
Why would I? (yeah, okay, okay)

Why would I try when I got all I need
Tried that once and it's not to repeat
Got my God and my tribe and I'm rocking with ease
Want me to run to you; instead I'll drop to my knees
Walking on seas
I'm about to see who found me in chains and brought me out free
He told me I'm loved, so that's who I'm finna be
That's who I'm finna be, me and God that's synergy
I don't need your sympathy, Holy Ghost living in me
I don't need your lies, my eyes on the prize
My eyes on the Savior, born new, I'm baptized

Why would I try?
Why would I try, try?

World be pressing
Do not listen
It be messing
It's just testing
Leads to stressing
It's depressing
Will you ever learn your lesson?
Comes out as aggression
Won't sleep on Christ, He gives me rest and
I'm in the Spirit's presence
I said the Spirit's presence
