(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 then, I'll be posted up post it up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow.
Until then, 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 then, I'll be posted up it up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow.
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 then, I'll be posted up it up right here raion, sleet hail, snow.
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 major leauge
So we never leave never till the sun came up
Gotta get it no leavin [?]

[?] 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
