I Tried Lyrics - Akon

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 

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery 

Man, I tried so hard, 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, 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)

First, let me explain that I'm just a black man 

And I come from the dark side, 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, 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, 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) 

It's like I'm takin' five steps forward, and ten steps back 

Tryin' to 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 inflictin' 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 day'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, 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, 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) 

I see things 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 tryin' to 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 it's all on you (on you) 

Gotta watch what you sign too; try so hard, but I won't act a fool 

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery 

Man, I tried so hard, 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, 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)
