Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I tried I would be the best
Fucking yo bitch yeah I'm fucking her neck
Playing 2k while she giving me head
I'm a vampire I suck on her neck
Knock the pussy out I put her to bed
Fuck with my money I start seeing red
Fuck with my money I fuck up yo life then I go to your crib and I fuck on your wifeIf I'm going to fast you can play this shit back
Not repeating myself you can play this shit twice
Not repeating myself you can play this shit twice
I beat It up
Call me Ray Rice
No me and my niggas do not play fair
I'm carrying some shit that knock out your hair
I'm carrying some shit that hug like a bear
I'm carrying some shit that knock out your hair
I'm carrying some shit that knock out your heart
I'm carrying some shit that knock out the park
She came with a friend I pull up Noah's Ark
My diamonds so bright it could never be dark
She called me a dog so I might as well bark
I pull up in Atlanta I brought me a Hawk
I skate on these hoes like I'm Tony Hawk
Say you fucking my bitch little nigga you thought
I found me thot she suck on this cock
She suck on this cock

She give me the neck I give her a check
I'm eat crab legs pearls on my neck
Oh you thought I was done
Nah I'm just playing
In the verses of iBall's song "If I Tried," the artist presents a brash and unapologetic portrayal of his lifestyle, delving into themes of hedonism, power dynamics, and materialism that are often prominent in contemporary hip-hop culture. The opening lines establish a tone of confidence and bravado, as the artist asserts his potential greatness if he were to truly exert himself. This juxtaposition creates an interesting tension between the acknowledgment of unfulfilled potential and the effortless enjoyment of a lavish lifestyle. The vivid imagery of sexual conquests and leisure activities, such as gaming, illustrates a carefree attitude that permeates his existence. This playful yet explicit commentary reflects an archetype that has become commonplace in modern rap—one that flaunts wealth and casual relationships without concern for societal norms or repercussions.
As the lyrics progress, the artist dives deeper into a narrative filled with confrontations and consequences, particularly focused on the retribution against anyone who interferes with his financial gain. The repeated emphasis on "money" underscores its significance in the artist's life, denoting not just wealth but power and respect within his social sphere. Lines that mention causing harm to others who threaten his financial stability, such as "I fuck up yo life," emphasize a ruthless aspect of his character—a protective instinct over his achievements that often leads to drastic measures. This mentality paints a picture of the artist as not just a carefree individual but also as someone who is vigilant and commanding, ready to defend his position with aggression if necessary.
The artist displays a mix of brash sexual bravado and humor throughout the song, notably through references that blend vulgarity with sports metaphors and pop culture. Phrases like "I'm a vampire I suck on her neck" and the comparison to famous athletes serve to connect his sexual exploits and prowess to broader narratives of dominance and success. He employs a sense of wordplay and rhythm that ties these references together, creating an image of a man who is both physically assertive and culturally aware. This approach reinforces the trend in hip-hop where personal identity is often constructed around exaggeration and self-mythology, alluding to the artist's desire to establish a larger-than-life persona that stands out from the crowd.
Towards the end of the lyrics, there is a self-aware splash of irony with lines such as "If I tried man I'm really the worst," indicating a level of reflexivity that counters the bravado established earlier. It suggests that while he is reveling in this extravagant lifestyle, he recognizes its absurdity and acknowledges the facade of perfection and invincibility. Furthermore, the references to playful banter with his friends and a willingness to engage in humorous escapades soften the earlier aggression, revealing a more relatable or human side amidst the ostentatious bravado. Consequently, iBall's "If I Tried" operates not just as a celebration of hedonism and power but also as a commentary on the hollowness that can accompany such a lifestyle, intertwining humor and self-reflection within the bravado.
