(talking)
Bone thugs..Akon..Yea..
[Wish]
You know nothin comes easy
You gotta try real, real hard
I tried hard..But i guess I gotta try harder
{chrous}
[akon]
I tried so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man I tried so hard
I'll always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault cuz I
try to get away but trouble follows me
and still I tried so hard
Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but
Until then
(bone thugs)
I'll be postin up right here
rain, sleet, hail, snow
(akon)
but until then
(bone thugs)
I'll be postin up right here
wit my heat gettin dope (gettin dope)
[Krayzie]
First let me explain that im just a black man
and i come from the darkside so im havin a hard time
stayin on track man
My mind be racin and i dont even know what im chasin
ive been in and out of relationships
and im startin so see that its me with the complications
but im layin back prayin that
you get that piece of mind of me
i thought i was right but really i was wrong
but then again i was too blind to see
i was livin in the fast lane chasin my dream
and then i was in the fame and cash game and they just got me
goin crazy
and lately ive been so faded tryin to erase it
but i just cant cuz the drama just grows greater
and ive been in so many collisions but puttin s*** off till later
{chorus}
[Layzie]
Its like im taking 5 steps forward, and 10 steps back
tryin to get ahead of the game but i cant 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 the distance when its supposed to be close
and uh, i just dont know but ive been out here fightin demons and
its like a curse that i cant shake this part of cleveland and
lord, wont you help me
stop this pain i keep inflictin on my family
hustlin and gamblin (gamblin)
trickin and scramblin
and losin sight on what is supposed to be happenin (happenin)
its hard to manage cuz every days a challenge
and man im slippin, cant lose my balance and im tryin not to panic
{chorus}
[Wish]
I see that things wont change, im stuck in the game
as soon as i get out it keeps pullin me back man
it got me doin dirty dirty
so used to this hustlin money that i dont understand no 9 to 5 work
studied on the streets, hustlers know what i mean
hustlers ballin before us, i try to make it majorly
so we never leave, never, til the sun came up
gotta get it no, no leavin
no love
today, games they play gotta go hard to get what you put in
if you fall off then its all on you (on you)
gotta watch what you sign too
tried so hard but i wont play like a fool
{chorus}
