Best That I Can

from Work In Progress by Cory Tate

/

lyrics

I know that it gets hard when you praying on a come up/
You screaming in the dark just tryin to wake the sun up/
We can only do the best that we can/
We can only do the best that we can/
I know it will get worse way before it can get better/
Outside with my umbrella waiting for the rain to let up/
And I'ma do the best that I can/
I'm just tryin to do the best that I can/

I have to remind myself that its not always my fault/
I shoulder so much guilt a toxic trait its hard to halt/
I know sometimes two people grow a part and thats the part/
I have to learn to live with helps that I can put that in to art/
People love a good sob story, yall can cry at mine/
Any time, I dont mind, every line/
Thats my heart on my sleeve not stains of wine/
Bleeding out this pen I find a way to silence all that noise/
And realign serenity won't be denied/
I keep whats most important in my line of sight/
Be wary of the ones who wanna try and hide the light, I wanna share it/
If i struck gold today I'd throw a block party all a yall invited/
Midnight strikes I make it rain over the terrace/
Yall embracing, hordin shit you barely even worked for/
You bonus off your forces and barely pay your work forces/
Then bitch about the homeless who just wanna relax at night/
And vote against resources that might go against your taxes, right?

I know that it gets hard when you praying on a come up/
You screaming in the dark just tryin to wake the sun up/
We can only do the best that we can/
We can only do the best that we can/
I know it will get worse way before it can get better/
Outside with my umbrella waiting for the rain to let up/
And I'ma do the best that I can/
I'm just tryin to do the best that I can/

I cant believe how fickle people be/
If thats the way it is all yall can leave me be/
I'll just live vicariously via DVDs where all the opportunist stay behind a screen/
Thats probably best I been tempted to make scene/
Lately, been debating it, add that to my greatest hits/
I been in and out relationships, I thought we had it made then baby switched/
It made my brain spin its still spinnin/
Forgot what it was like to feel these feelins I'm feelin, dont fuckin like em/
Feels like you all alone when you know that you not/
Feels like you rock bottom but rock bottom folk know that you not/
Perspective is a bitch I dare you to walk in shoes you would normally knock/
So you know what it's like to lose the soul of your holy Reeboks/
But in the moment its relative pain is evident/
I see it in the mirror so clearly think my reflections getting bad again/
Its talkin back again the only difference is/

I know that it gets hard when you praying on a come up/
You screaming in the dark just tryin to wake the sun up/
We can only do the best that we can/
We can only do the best that we can/
I know it will get worse way before it can get better/
Outside with my umbrella waiting for the rain to let up/
And I'ma do the best that I can/
I'm just tryin to do the best that I can/
