Lyrics:
Four year old at play, shot and killed today, never even had a chance.
Seventeen and high, threw away his life, has a gun to feel like he’s a man.
Can’t have it any other way.
Laying in the street, asking for a drink, doesn’t have a place to live.
Pregnant at thirteen, still can hear the screams, something that she never will forget.
Can’t have it any other way.
I’m trying to open my mind.
So you can keep your faith,
’cause i’ll just walk away.
There’s no reason for me to stay.
I’m trying to open my mind. x2
I’m trying to make up my mind.
If you want to learn face to face I’m Trying guitar chords, The 5 chords we’ll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major.
The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments.
Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart
The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play I’m Trying. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it.
