Misc ="Trynna Finda Way" is a song by R&B/soul/hip hop
Nelly Furtado , and was the sixth and final single from her 2000 debut album, "Whoa, Nelly! ". The track was released to radio inMexico in late 2002 (see2002 in music ).Furtado has described the song as a stream-of-consciousness piece heavily inspired by
Beat poet s such asJack Kerouac (particularly his novel "On the Road ") andAllen Ginsberg , as well as the "street science and street energy and rawness" present inJim Carroll 's novel "The Basketball Diaries ". The opening line of the song, "I left my heart inSan Francisco ", is a reference to Ginsberg. She originally wrote part of the first verse of "Trynna Finda Way" for a song called "Post No Bills".

hip hop music because of Furtado's self-described "obsession" with urban and hip-hop music when she was a teenager. It features aberimbau , a traditional Brazilian instrument, because Furtado connected with Brazilian music and its "rich instrumentation".
