You know though nothin\' come easy, |
| [00:19.47] |
you gotta try real, real hard |
| [00:23.08] |
I tried hard, |
| [00:24.49] |
but I guess I gotta try harder. |
| [00:27.06] |
I tried so hard, can\'t seem to get away from misery, |
| [00:32.77] |
Man I tried so hard, but always be a victim of these streets, |
| [00:38.36] |
It Ain\'t my fault cause I, try to get away but trouble follows me, |
| [00:44.21] |
And still I try so hard, hopin one day they\'ll come and rescue me, |
| [00:50.25] |
But until then, I\'ll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail snow) |
| [00:56.24] |
But until then, I\'ll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough (gettin\' dough) |
| [01:02.36] |
First, let me explain that I\'m just a black man, |
| [01:04.63] |
And I come from the darkside, so I\'m havin a hard time stayin on track man, |
| [01:07.87] |
My mind be racin\', and I don\'t even know what I\'m chasin yet |
| [01:10.33] |
Been in and out of relationships, I\'m startin to see that it\'s me where the complications at |
| [01:12.11] |
But I\'m layin back, prayin\' that, you get that piece of mind of me |
| [01:14.54] |
I thought I was right, but really I\'m wrong, but again I was too blind to see, |
| [01:20.39] |
I was in the fast lane chasin my dream, |
| [01:23.03] |
And then it seemed when the fame and cash came, they just got me, |
| [01:25.23] |
Goin crazyyyy, (lately, lately) lately I been so faded trying to erase it, |
| [01:31.10] |
But I just can\'t cause the drama just grows greater, |
| [01:32.48] |

And still I try so hard, hopin one day they\'ll come and rescue me, |
| [02:00.72] |
But until then, I\'ll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail snow) |

| [02:15.71] |
Tryna get ahead of the game but I can\'t seem to get it on track |
| [02:18.89] |

| [02:24.84] |
I just don\'t know but I be out here fightin demons and |
| [02:28.07] |
