[Verse 1]
Yeah, you can try to love your woman, try to love your friends
Try to love your neighbor, you can try it again
Try to go to church, try to live your life
Probably still be trying on the day that you die

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if you're trying you ain't trying, there's work to do, son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're trying you ain't

[Verse 2]
Try something old, try something new
Try it when no one else is even watching but you
Try just a little, try it too much
Try an over do it and it still ain't enough

[Chorus]
And if you're trying you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're trying you ain't

[Break]
Trying, trying you ain't
Trying, trying
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if you're trying you ain't trying, there's work to do, son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're trying you ain't

[Chorus]
And if you're trying you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're trying you ain't

[Outro]
Trying, trying
Trying you ain't
Trying still trying
Trying you ain't
Trying, trying
Trying you ain't
