I Try So Hard - Akon

Bone Thugs Akon yeah.......

You know nothin' come easy you gotta try real real hard....
I try hard.. but I guess I have to try harder........

I try so hard can't seem to get away from misery
Man I try so hard always being a victum of these streets
Anit 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 here rain, sleet, hail snow...
Until then... I'll be posted up right here with my heat getting dough...

First let me explain I'm just a black man...
And I come from the darkside...
So I'm having a hard time staying on track man..
My mind be racing.. and I don't even know what I'm chasing
Yet I've been I and out of relationships
I'm starting to see it's me where the complication's at
But I'm laying back... praying that you get that peice of mind of me
I thought I was right but really I'm wrong
Then again I was blind to see I was in a fast lane chasing my dream..
And then it seem when the fame and cash came they just go me...
Going craazzzyyyy lately I been so faded trying to earse it
But I can't cause the drama just grows greater
And I've been in so many collisins by putting S*** off till later...

I try so hard can't seem to get away from misery
Man I try so hard always being a victum of these streets
Anit 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 here rain, sleet, hail snow...
Until then... I'll be posted up right here with my heat getting dough...

It's like I'm taking steps 5 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 runnin away from the ones that say they love me the most
How can I create a distance when it's suppose to be close and uh..
I just don't know..but I'll be out here fighting demons and it's like a curse..
That I can't shake this part of cleveland and...
Lord will you help me...to stop this pain I keep inflicting on my family....
Hustling and gambling drinkin and scramblin
And losing sight of what I'm suppose to be handling
It's hard to manage cause every day is a challenge....
And man I'm slippin can't lose my balance tryin not to panic...

I try so hard can't seem to get away from misery
Man I try so hard always being a victum of these streets
Anit 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 here rain, sleet, hail snow...
Until then... I'll be posted up right here with my heat getting dough...

I see the things won't change I'm stuck in the game..
As soon as I get out it keeps pullin me back, man
Got me doin dirty dirt so used to hustling money...
That I don't understand no 9 to 5 work....
Studied on these streets hustlers know what I mean...
Thugsters ballin before us..I'm trying to make the major league
So we never leave never till the sun came up..........
Gotta get it. can't leave it, no grudge......
Today games they play gotta go hard to get what you out in..
If you fall then it's all on you..... gotta watch what you sign too...
Try so hard I won't play the fool

I try so hard can't seem to get away from misery
Man I try so hard always being a victum of these streets
Anit 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 here rain, sleet, hail snow...
Until then... I'll be posted up right here with my heat getting dough...
