I Tried

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)
