I Tried (Explicit)

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
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
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 crazy  (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 sh*t off till later
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
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
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
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
But until then
I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough
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
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
But until then
I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough
