I Tried (Feat. Akon)

(feat. Akon)

[Intro: Wish Bone]
You know nothin' come easy, you gotta try real real hard
I tried hard, but I guess I gotta try harder

[Chorus: Akon]
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,
Ain't my fault cos 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 there, I'll be posted up post it up right here real slow [?]
Until there, I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

[Verse 1: Krayzie Bone]
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 (yeah)
Been in and out of relationships, I'm startin to see that it's me with complications [?]
But I'm layin back, playin that, you can't have piece of mind with me
I thought I was right but really I'm wrong, in the end I was too blind to see
I was in the fast lane chasin my dream
And then [?] and cash came, they just got me
Goin crazyyyy, lately I been so faded tryna get wasted
But I just can't cos the drama just comes greater
And I been in so many collisions by puttin s*** off till later

[Chorus: Akon]
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,
Ain't my fault cos 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 there, I'll be posted up post it up right here real slow [?]
Until there, I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

[Verse 2: Layzie Bone]
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'll be out here fightin demons and
It's like the [?] I can shake this part of Cleveland and
Lord, would you help me? And stop this pain
I keep on thinkin of my family
Hustlin and gamblin, drinkin and scramblin
And losin sight of whats supposed to be happenin
It's hard to manage cos every days a challenge and man
I'm still [?] can't lose my balance and try not to panic

[Chorus: Akon]
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,
Ain't my fault cos 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 there, I'll be posted up post it up right here real slow [?]
Until there, I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough

[Verse 3: Wish Bone]
I see thangs won't change (wont 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 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 ballas before us I'm tryna make that [?]
So we never leave never till the sun came up
Gotta get it [?]
[?] lol

[Chorus: Akon]
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,
Ain't my fault cos 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 there, I'll be posted up post it up right here real slow [?]
Until there, I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin dough
