Hello everyone, welcome to the 155th edition of afritunes ,as you already know I'm coderaikiri and I'll be doing a song cover titled try me by Tems.
The first time I heard this song it felt like your everyday jam from a regular artist. I did not pay much attention to it since it was a female and to top it off the singer was new then so I paid no mind to it. Flashforward to two years later my neighbor happened to love this song with everything that makes him tick. He has a terrible voice but that did not stop him from expressing how the song made him feel and as time passed I ended up falling for the song too. Try me is just that is just that song if you are trying to step outta the usual love song or music centered on money.
Take a ride with me as we explore why you want to try me
LYRICS:
Take out my mind
Take all the joy now
Take me down
Take all the love now
Tie me away, burn me alive now
Break me down right now
Now you wanna lock me away
I’m winning
You wanna add to my pain
I’m shining
Now you wan come for my face
Ideally, We’re not the, we’re not the same nah nah
So why you wanna try me, yeah try me
You out to destroy me, destroy me
You try to challenge me, challenge me
You try to distract me, distract me
If I was the Ganja, the ganja
You bring the lighter, the lighter
Roll me Rizzla, in Rizzla
And set me on Fire, on fire

Yeah
So I woke up in the night
I Broke out of my chains
Stay in your lane
you don’t know my name
You crossed a line
We will never die
This is where you end
Wee/ ooh chile

Now you wanna lock me away
I’m winning
You wanna add to my pain
I’m shining
Now you wan come for my face
Ideally, We’re not the, we’re not the same nah nah

So why you wanna try me, yeah try me
You out to destroy me, destroy me
You try to challenge me, challenge me
You try to distract me, distract me

If I was the Ganja, the ganja
You bring the lighter, the lighter
Roll me Rizzla, in Rizzla
And set me on Fire, on fire

Cuz you want to be me, but you can’t
There’s a fire in the sky, it’s burning
And I’m always gonna keep running yeah
