Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - I Tried (featuring Akon) Lyrics

(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'g' 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 (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 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)
