Bone Thugs, Akon, yeah
You know don't nothing come easy, you gotta try real, real hard
I' tried hard, but I guess I gotta try harder
I tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I tried so hard but will 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
Hoping one day you'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 (a black man)
And I come from the dark side, so I'm having a hard time stayin' on track man
My mind be racing, and I don't even know what I'm chasin' yet
Been in and out of relationships
I'm starting to see that it's me where the complications at
But I'm layin' back, prayin' that
You give that peace of mind to me
I thought I was right, but really I'm wrong, and again I was too blind to see
I was in the fast lane chasing me dreams
And then it seems like when the fame and cash came
It just got me goin' crazy lately (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
I've been so faded, tryin' to erase it
But I just can't 'cause the drama just grows greater
And I've been in so many collisions by puttin' shit off 'til later
I tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I tried so hard but will 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
Hoping one day you'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 taking five steps forward (forward), and ten steps back
Trying to get ahead of the game, but I can't seem to get it on track
And I keep running away from 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 fighting demons
And it's like a curse that I can't shake this part of Cleveland
And Lord, would you help me? (Help me)
And stop this pain I keep inflicting on my family (my family)
Hustlin' and gamblin' (gamblin')
Trickin' and scramblin' (scramblin')
And losing sight of what I'm supposed to be handlin' (handlin')
It's hard to manage 'cause every day's a challenge
And man I'm slippin'
Can't lose my balance, I'm tryin' not to panic
I tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I tried so hard, but will 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
Hoping one day you'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 that things won't change
I'm stuck in the game
As soon as I get out, it keeps pullin' me back (pullin' me back)
Got me doin' dirty, dirty
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
Hustlas ballin' before us, I'm tryin' to make it to that major league
So we will never leave (never)
Until the sun came up (came up)
Gotta get it, no, nope not leaving, no, what
Today games they play
Gotta go hard to get what you put in
If you fall off, then it's all on you (on you)
Gotta watch what you sign to
Try so hard, but I won't pull through
I tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I tried so hard but will 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
Hoping one day you'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 (gettin' dough)
