Текст песни I Tried

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

To make them understand

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and the Lord know I tried

To make them understand

I tried, oh tried how I tried

But they just can't understand

The more victimization is up on their back

The more foolish they becomes

The more victimization is up on their back

They satisfy Lord for less

I tried, oh Jah how I tired

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

Poor God, people

When will they ever learn?

This one turn them fool, that one turn them fool

So what are they waiting for

Fix up yourself and prepare to meet Jah

That will satisfy Lord for more

I tried, oh Jah how I tried

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

Father die in pain, Mother die in pain

Slavery continue

They say we have no right no where

In no corner of the world

And I tried to make them notice

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and I tried to make them know

But they just can't understand

Twenty-four hours make one day, they told us

Seven days make a week

And out of all that they hold 365 days

They can only name you seven days

I tried, I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

We beat drums at night, we beat drums by day

They take no heed

The church bell a-ring and the children a-sing

And them still satisfy Lord for less

I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

But they still can't understand

Son is waiting at condemned cell for his sentence

You know

Father in the field can't find nothing

And mother nah no money

I tried, I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

But they just can't understand

My Daddy was sure, my Mommy was poor

Ain't got no money

Still no bother me, all I need to see

Is love and unity
