[00:02.79]
[00:04.64] Bone Thugs Akon yeah
[00:09.05]
[00:16.49] You know don't nothin' come easy
[00:18.16]
[00:19.26] You gotta try real, real hard
[00:21.15]
[00:22.51] I tried hard, but I guess I gotta try harder.
[00:26.11]
[00:27.03] I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
[00:31.61]
[00:32.17] Man I tried so hard
[00:34.29]
[00:35.13] But always be a victim of these streets,
[00:38.05] It ain't my fault cause I
[00:40.25]
[00:41.07] Try to get away but trouble follows me,
[00:43.86] And still I try so hard
[00:46.08]
[00:46.72] Hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me,
[00:49.35] But until then
[00:51.18]
[00:52.24] I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow
[00:55.29] But until then
[00:57.56]
[00:58.08] I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough
[01:01.27] First, let me explain that I'm just a black man
[01:03.91] And I come from the darkside
[01:05.13] So I'm havin a hard time stayin on track man
[01:07.57] My mind be racin'
[01:08.61] And I don't even know what I'm chasin yet
[01:10.26] Been in and out of relationships
[01:11.72] I'm startin' to see that
[01:12.48] It's me where the complications at
[01:13.75] But I'm layin back, prayin' that
[01:15.15] You get that piece of mind of me
[01:16.94] I thought I was right
[01:17.64] But really I'm wrong
[01:18.17] But again I was too blind to see,
[01:19.91] I was in the fast lane chasin' my dream,
[01:21.93] And then it seemed when the fame and cash came
[01:24.22] They just got me,
[01:25.05] Goin' crazy. (lately, lately) lately
[01:30.41] I been so faded trying to erase it
[01:31.77] But I just can't cause the drama just grows greater,
[01:34.08] And I been in so many collisions
[01:35.62] By puttin shit off till later
[01:36.98] I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
[01:42.27] Man I tried so hard
[01:44.67]
[01:45.35] But always be a victim of these streets
[01:48.11] It ain't my fault cause I
[01:50.63]
[01:51.31] Try to get away but trouble follows me
[01:54.09] And still I try so hard
[01:56.47]
[01:57.22] Hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
[01:59.65] But until then
[02:01.53]
[02:02.45] I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow
[02:05.56] But until then
[02:07.31]
[02:07.90] I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough
[02:11.53] It's like I'm takin' five steps forward
[02:13.77] And ten steps back
[02:15.15] Tryna get ahead of the game but
[02:16.61] I can't seem to get it on track
[02:17.68] And I keep runnin away the ones
[02:19.31] That say they love me the most
[02:20.68] How could I create the distance
[02:22.30] When it's supposed to be close? And uh
[02:24.32] I just don't know but
[02:25.50] I be out here fightin demons and
[02:27.39] It's like the curse that
[02:28.44] I can't shake this part of Cleveland and
[02:29.96] Lord, would you help me? And stop this pain
[02:33.14] I keep inflinctin' on my family (family)
[02:36.16] Hustlin and gamblin, trickin' and scramblin'
[02:39.00] And losin sight of what I supposed to be handlin'
[02:41.74] It's hard to manage cause
[02:43.37] Everyday's a challenge and man
[02:44.67] And I'm slippin' can't lose my balance
[02:45.94] And tryin' not to panic
[02:47.23] I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
[02:52.03]
[02:52.57] Man I tried so hard
