I Tried

[Hook] I've tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery Man I've tried so hard but 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 hoping one day you'll come and rescue me But until then I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough [Verse 1] I tried so hard and I'm feeling like I'm lost now My minds getting tossed around I'm trying to escape now but don't know where to run to Or who to turn to, what am I to do The stress is getting me, uni and family, and love, yeah it's been affecting me My thoughts are clouded with mystery I play basketball or rap to try and think a bit more clearly One night I was dreaming, catching some Zzz's and, I started falling, and woke up screaming Now I'm walking through a maze tryna find myself, and yet, there were no signs of help [Hook] I've tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery Man I've tried so hard but 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 hoping one day you'll come and rescue me But until then I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough [Verse 2] Lately I been feeling non-existent Friends and family have become distant and I miss 'em The girls I used to love hardly speak to me It's like they don't wanna hear a peep from me My heart feels like it's weakening It keeps on breaking and there's just no reasoning I can deal some relationships aren't meant to be But I miss every second you both spent with me S'pose you both don't care enough, and I suppose I care too much It's not just both of you it's my family too On my own like an alien race I'll try to escape fate while me and Pac pray for Better Dayz [Hook] I've tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery Man I've tried so hard but 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 hoping one day you'll come and rescue me But until then I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough [Verse 3] Yeah I've had a broken heart or two And yeah I've walked out the house a time or two Maybe a time or two too many but, who else could possibly know my story better than you You know who you are I shouldn't have to tell you I hope we can get back to, being friends and you could help me through The shit I'm going through, you know that I'm here for you, if you need me to It's got me down, tell me what to do You know how my mum and I don't get along I only act strong, but I still persist and fight on Is it so wrong that I tried to mend this broken bond, guess I just tried too hard, for too long [Hook] I've tried so hard, I can't seem to get away from misery Man I've tried so hard but 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 hoping one day you'll come and rescue me But until then I'll be posted up right here rain sleet hail snow But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin' dough
