I Tried - Bone Thugs N Harmony

Bone Thugs Akon yeah

You know don't 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 shit 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, trickin' and scramblin'
And losin sight of what I supposed to be handlin'
It's hard to manage cause
Everyday's 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 (won't 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 put it through

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
For all the man from the darkside
