Songtext zu 'I Tried (feat. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony)' von Akon

[Wish Bone]
You know nothing come easy
You gotta try real real hard, I tried hard
But I guess I
Gotta try harder

[Akon]
I try so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I try so hard
Will always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault 'cause I
Tried 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 in sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough

[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'
Yet I been in and out of relationships, I'm
Startin' to see that's it's me where the complications at
But I'm layin' back prayin' that
You can't have piece of mind of 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 it seem when the fame and cash came
They just got me going crazy lately, lately, lately
I been so faded
Tryin' to erase it
But I can't 'cause the drama just goes greater
And I been in so many collisions from puttin' shit up till later

[Akon]
I try so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I try so hard
Will always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault 'cause I
Tried 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 in sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough

[Layzie Bone]
It's like I'm taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back
Tryin' 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?
And stop this pain I keep inflicting on
My family hustlin', gamblin', trickin' and scammin'
Scrambling and losing sight of what I'm
Suppose to be 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

[Akon]
I try so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man I try so hard
Will always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault 'cause I
Tried 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 in sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough

[Wish Bone]
I see thangs won't change
I'm stuck in the game
As soon as I get out, it keeps pullin' me
Back mayne got me doin' dirty dirt
So used to this hustlin' money that I don't understand
How 9 to 5 work studied on the streets
Hustlers know what I mean, hustlers ballin' in force
I'm tryna make that major league so we never leave never
Till the Sun came up gotta get it
Nope no leavin' no rush today
Games they play gotta go hard to get what you put in if you fall
Off then it's all on you gotta watch what you sign
To try so hard but I won't play the fool

[Akon]
I try so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I try so hard
Will always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault 'cause I
Tried 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 in sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough
