Tryin To Do Somethin

I'm Tryin to make a move, tryin to get outta town
I'm tryin to sell my house but I'm upside down
I'm tryin to find a job but there's none to be found
I'm tryin to do somethin, tryin to do somethin

I be like checkin on my email while I'm still snug in bed
man did I get that gig I wanted cuz I'm tryin to make some bread
I'm bout to hit the store cuz I need some new threads
to sew some holes in my clothes cuz I'm sweatin hot lead
Doin any side job from sound effects to pop tunes
listen in my iPod and bump it in my living room
but it's been a minute since I had a second
To build a rhyme do it line by line in my mind then wreck it
If I get to take a lunch it's a good day
but I got no money so I never take one anyway
need quarters for my laundry, my girl is always on me
staring at a screen until I turn into a zombie
man if I get desperate it never transpired
catch me smashing pumpkins cuz this world is a vampire
its gettin gruesome, tryin to make a move from
standing up, standing out, and gonna do something

I'm Tryin to make a move, tryin to get outta town
I'm tryin to sell my house but I'm upside down
I'm tryin to find a job but there's none to be found
I'm tryin to do somethin, tryin to do somethin

I'm bout a couple hundred thousand dollars in debt
but that don't mean that I don't got a reason to get outta bed
The housing markets got me flipped upside down
so I'm off to California to find me a new town
I hate to admit, I do this music on the side
I work a 9-5 to pay the bills on time
But I'm tryin to switch it up make this a full time job
so I'm back in college, get the degree and then I gotta mob
My Honda Accord got me rollin down the street
but the 400 dollar a month payment got me beat
All my neighbors movin in with half the payment as mine
any lesser of a man would be going out his mind
but not me, I'm happier than I've ever been
I'm learning everyday and now I'm flowin like the wind
and if you know me then you know I'm dedicated
and I'm tryin to do somethin theres no question I'm gonna make it

I'm standing up and standing out,
gonna do somethin
back to the wall, aint having enough
planning to fall but you have to get up
I'm standing up and standing out,
gonna do somethin
and there's no question I'm a make it

[Kublakai's verse]

I'm Tryin to make a move, tryin to get outta town
I'm tryin to sell my house but I'm upside down
I'm tryin to find a job but there's none to be found
I'm tryin to do somethin, tryin to do somethin

I'm standing up and standing out,
gonna do somethin
back to the wall, aint having enough
planning to fall but you have to get up
I'm standing up and standing out,
gonna do somethin
and there's no question I'm a make it
