Wax - I Shoulda Tried Harder Lyrics






Nobody's perfect

[Hook:]
If I woulda tried harder
I would be all I can be
If I woulda tried harder
I could have sailed the seven seas
If I woulda tried harder
I would be a better man
I guess I shoulda tried harder
But I didn't, so here I am
Here I am

[Verse 1:]
I should probably be a star by now
But I'm probably at the bar by now
If you're hearing this past 5, or even 4
If it's morning I'm probably somewhere on a cement floor
Even more so if we're on tour
Me and E explore the country wondering about the evening before
Trying to explain where the time went
While other rappers find a studio to grind in
Kinda like when Kobe finds a gym
But the flow be Iverson
Yes homie I am him ('practice?')
I don't practice a lot
It's not a habit I got
I'd rather smoke pot and kick it with Craig and them
But Craig and them ain't making benjamins
They're just sitting on the couch again, again and again
Damn, free time, I always wasted it
I wonder what my life would've been like if I'd have gave a shit

[Hook:]
If I woulda tried harder
I would be all I can be
If I woulda tried harder
I could have sailed the seven seas
If I woulda tried harder
I would be a better man
I guess I shoulda tried harder
But I didn't, so here I am

[Verse 2:]
Back in high school, the shit was a breeze
I smoked a bunch of trees and I still got B's
Got high as fuck on my SAT's
Both as far as score making, and right before taking them
I've never worked harder at a job than required
I've only worked hard enough not to be fired
It's like Office Space
You'd have thought that Peter was there
Or Jennifer Aniston rocking minimum pieces of flair
I couldn't imagine what would've happened
If God wouldn't have made me good at rapping
It's only cause of that a good life I provide myself
But just think, what if I'd applied myself
I could be another level rich
Sponsored by a bubble beverage
On television talking about how good Dr. Pepper is
I wish I was as ambitious as 50 Cent
I could have went the same route that him and Diddy went
But alas...

[Hook:]
If I woulda tried harder
I would be all I can be
If I woulda tried harder
I could have sailed the seven seas
If I woulda tried harder
I would be a better man
I guess I shoulda tried harder
But I didn't, so here I am

[Outro:]
Michael Jordan, I ain't talking to you, nope
Oprah Winfrey, I ain't talking to you, nope
Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, I ain't talking to ya'll, nope
Tiger Woods, yeah, I possibly am talking to you
But Donald Trump I ain't talking to you
To my man who's the Pope, I ain't talking to you
To Chuck Norris, I ain't talking to you
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, I ain't talking to you
Steve Jobs, rest in peace, but I ain't talking to you
To my mannnnnnnnnn- Neil Armstrong, I ain't talking to you
Or Lance Armstrong, I ain't talking to you
If your name is something that ends with Armstrong
I probably ain't talking to you

  79. K.... S....

    Doyle Glazer predicted John Wick

  80. I.... ....

    "donald trump i aint talkin to you"
    if only he knew what was coming...

  81. e.... ....

    Elon Musk, wax is talking to you.

  82. M.... t....

    Doyle Glazer 😂😂

  83. C.... k....

    sounds like strong as an oak watsky steel good song

  84. T.... A....

    those tweets though LMAO

  85. j.... ....

    where can we buy your song in high quality not apple shit ?

  86. G.... ....

    Wax always gets stupid laughs outta me, that backflip at the end 😂😂

  87. M.... B....

    Honestly, Wax is the best rapper of the 21st century.... by that, I mean he is the best of this generation of rappers. I exclude any rapper who made their breakout hits before 2000. While others may be enjoying more success, they lack Wax's versatility and verbal ability. It seems like most rappers today focus too much on that trap shit or they have a style that limits them to a certain sound. Wax is all over the place. He can be self deprecating or spit venom, slow or fast, compound syllables or more musical. Not to mention it's easier, for me anyway, to relate to Wax. He could have easily become a huge star and made sell out hits, but he honestly seems to care about being real... keeping his humanity and not losing touch with reality, like some stars do. They end up selling us an image of who they claim to be... but Wax is having fun and keeping it fresh.

    Just my opinion. Maybe you like Kendrick Lamar or some shit.. that's fine.. but I'd rather hang out with Wax in a run down bar or at a BBQ than waste time with Lamar doing whatever it is he does with his spare time.

  88. M.... V....

    Have new song please? this 2018!

  89. M.... ....

    I'm watching this at work so that work line was funny

  90. �.... ....

    that Trump line though..

  91. V.... ....

    Collab with $uicideboy$!!

  92. T.... J....

    4:46 Hahaha!! LIFE

  93. S.... V....

    Wax!!!!

  94. a.... b....

    Still waiting on Doyle Glazer to drop...

  95. c.... w....

    kinda sounds like a watsky song.

  96. W.... ....

    this guys fucking hilarious!

  97. 1.... N....

    do you think he was talking to Bernie Sanders though ??

  98. W.... G....

    President Trump!

  99. C.... ....

    I find it HELLA tight that Wax practically predicted the election by mentioning Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. That's some Wax Illuminati shit.

    C.... ....

    how is mentioning them predicting it man ur reaching
