I Tried



Lyrics

Is this it....

[Intro]

Bone Thugs Akon yeah
You know though nothin' come easy, you gotta try real,
real hard
I tried hard, but I guess I gotta try harder.

[Chorus]
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,
Man I tried so hard, but always be a victim of these
streets,
It Ain't my fault cause I, try to get away but trouble
follows me,
And still I try so hard, hopin one day they'll come
and rescue me,

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain,
sleet, hail, snow (hail snow)
But until then, I'll be posted up right here with my
heat gettin dough (gettin' dough)

[verse 1]

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.

[Chorus]
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,
Man I tried so hard, but always be a victim of these
streets,
It Ain't my fault cause I, try to get away but trouble
follows me,
And still I try so hard, hopin one day they'll come
and rescue me,

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain,
sleet, hail, snow (hail snow)
But until then, I'll be posted up right here with my
heat gettin dough (gettin' dough)

[verse 2]

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

[Chorus]
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,
Man I tried so hard, but always be a victim of these
streets,
It Ain't my fault cause I, try to get away but trouble
follows me,
And still I try so hard, hopin one day they'll come
and rescue me,

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain,
sleet, hail, snow (hail snow)
But until then, I'll be posted up right here with my
heat gettin dough (gettin' dough)

[verse 3]

I see thangs won't change (wont change) I'm stuck in
the game
As soon as I get out it keeps pullin me back man
(pullin me back man)
Got me doin' dirty dirt, so used to this hustlin
money,
That I don't understand no nine to five work
Studied on the streets, hustlas know what I mean
Thugstas ballin' before us I'm tryna make that major
league
So we never leave never till the sun came up (came up)

Gotta get it nope, no leavin, no grudge (no grudge)
today games they play gotta go hard to get what you
put in, if you fall off then its all on you (on you)
gotta watch what you sign too, try so hard but I won't
act a fool.

[Chorus]
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,
Man I tried so hard, but always be a victim of these
streets,
It Ain't my fault cause I, try to get away but trouble
follows me,
And still I try so hard, hopin one day they'll come
and rescue me,

But until then, I'll be posted up right here rain,
sleet, hail, snow (hail snow)
But until then, I'll be posted up right here with my
heat gettin dough (gettin' dough)
