Band Members: WARNING!!!
This song hardly represents my true lyrical and vocal talent. I just want to give you a taste of my abilities. My father named me and my Father blessed me. Wait til they get a LOAD of ME!!!
"I Tried" was procuded and recorded by Jordan aka Lil Haiti in Crown Heights Brooklyn, NY. I wrote this song to uplift those betrayed by their own perception of "love".
I could have been nasty on the keys but I never applied myself. I can play a song or two but thats its... The music is all in my head... I just need to learn how to make beats and then its reynolds!!!
Influences: I'm not easily influenced but I'm about to let you know what I rock to: Etta James, Buddy Guy, Mary J. Blige, Coldplay, Sam Cooke, Johnny Mercer, Jay-Z, Maroon 5, R.E.M., Shirley Ceasar, Mahailia Jackson, The Roots, Ms. Hill, Vybes Cartel, Tanya Stephens, Billy Joel, Etta Fitzgerald and Whitney cus I'm err woman.
Sounds Like:
A REAL LIFE REAL LYRIST...
MAMA NEVER SAID THEY'LL BE DAYS LIKE THIS
I TRIED TO RUN AWAY BUT I'M CAUGHT IN THE MIDST
THEY LOVE YOU WHEN YOU HOT AND WHEN YOU NOT YOU DON'T EXIST
THEY CURSE ME WHEN I'M THIRSTY YET MY CUP STILL DRIPS
THEY TESTING NOW I'M FLEXING... I DON'T WANNA SMILE
I WAS JUST ELEVEN... A MOTHERLESS CHILD
ANGER JUST DIGESTING TRIAL AFTER TRIAL
MAMA NEVER SAID WHAT TO DO MEANWHILE
I'M GUESSING KEEP PRESSING... REPRESSING GRIDLOCKS
OBSESSING AND STRESSING DEPRESSED IN BOX
CONGESTED... EVERYWHERE I TURN IS A DEADLOCK
PROGRESSING... SOUNDS LIKE A PARADOX
IT'S A BLESSING I'M CONFESSING... I LEARNED FROM THE STREETS
MY INNER CHILD FACE DOWN ON THE CONCRETE
EXPRESSING LACK OF LESSONS WHILE BEING DISCREET
ACCESSING ALL THE DAMAGE AFTER MAMA'S RETREAT
