I Tried

Bone Thugs Akon yeah

You know nothing come easy, you gotta try real real hard,

I tried hard... but I guess I

Gotta try harder.

I try so hard can't seem to get away from misery

Man I try so hard

Will always be a victim of these streets

It aint my fault cuz I...

Tried to get away but trouble follows me

And still I try so hard

Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow

But until then...

I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

First, let me explain that I'm just a black man,

And I come from the darkside,

So I'm havin a hard time stayin on track man,

My mind be racin', and I don't even know what I'm chasin yet

Been in and out of relationships,

I'm startin to see that it's me where the complications at

But I'm layin back, prayin' that, you get that piece of mind of me

I thought I was right,

But really I'm wrong, but again I was too blind to see,

I was in the fast lane chasin my dream,

And then it seemed when the fame and cash came, they just got me,

Goin crazyyyy, (lately,

Lately) lately I been so faded trying to erase it,

But I just can't cause the drama just grows greater,

And I been in so many collisions by puttin shit off till later.

I try so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Man I try so hard

Will always be a victim of these streets

It aint my fault cuz I...

Tried to get away but trouble follows me

And still I try so hard

Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow

But until then...

I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

It's like I'm takin five steps forward, and ten steps back

Tryin' get ahead of the game but I can't seem to get it on track

And I keep runnin away the ones that say they love me the most

How could I create the distance

When it's supposed to be close? And uh,

I just don't know but I be out here fightin demons and

It's like the curse that I can't shake this part of Cleveland and

Lord, would you help me? And stop this pain

I keep inflinctin on my family (family)

Hustlin and gamblin, drinkin' and scramblin'

And losin sight of what I supposed to be handlin'

It's hard to manage cause every days a challenge and man

And I'm slippin can't lose my balance and tryin not to panic

I try so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Man I try so hard

Will always be a victim of these streets

It aint my fault cuz I...

Tried to get away but trouble follows me

And still I try so hard

Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow

But until then...

I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

I see thangs won't change

I'm stuck in the game

As soon as I get out it

Keeps pullin me back mayne

Got me doin' dirty dirt

So used to this hustlin' money that I don't understand no 9 to 5 work

Studied on the streets, hustlers know what I mean

Hustlers ballin in force I'm tryin' make that major league

So we never leave never, til' the sun came up

Gotta get it nope no leavin no rush

Today games they play gotta go hard to get what u put in

If you fall off then it's all on you

Gotta watch what you sign to try so hard but I won't play the fool

I try so hard

Can't seem to get away from misery

Man i try so hard

Will always be a victim of these streets

It ain't my fault cuz i...

Tried to get away but trouble follows me

And still i try so hard

Hopin one day you'll come and rescue me

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow
