I Tried (feat. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony)

[Wish Bone]

You know nothing come easy

You gotta try real real hard, I tried hard

But I guess I

Gotta try harder

[Akon]

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 'cause 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 in sleet hail snow

But until then

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

[Krayzie Bone]

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 I been in and out of relationships, I'm

Startin' to see that's it's me where the complications at

But I'm layin' back prayin' that

You can't have piece of mind of me

I thought I was right but really I'm wrong

In the end

I was too blind to see

I was in the fast lane chasin' my dream

And then it seem when the fame and cash came

They just got me going crazy lately, lately, lately

I been so faded

Tryin' to erase it

But I can't 'cause the drama just goes greater

And I been in so many collisions from puttin' shit up till later

[Akon]

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 'cause 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 in sleet hail snow

But until then

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

[Layzie Bone]

It's like I'm taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back

Tryin' to get ahead of the game

But I can't seem to get it on track

And I keep running away from 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 fighting demons and

It's like a curse that I can't shake

This part of Cleveland and lord, would you help me?

And stop this pain I keep inflicting on

My family hustlin', gamblin', trickin' and scammin'

Scrambling and losing sight of what I'm

Suppose to be handlin', it's hard to manage

'Cause every day's a challenge and man I'm slippin'

Can't lose my balance, I'm tryin' not to panic

[Akon]

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 'cause 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 in sleet hail snow

But until then

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

[Wish Bone]

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

How 9 to 5 work studied on the streets

Hustlers know what I mean, hustlers ballin' in force

I'm tryna make that major league so we never leave never

Till the Sun came up gotta get it

Nope no leavin' no rush today

Games they play gotta go hard to get what you 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

[Akon]

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 'cause 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 in sleet hail snow

But until then

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