Lyrics: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony: Strength & Loyalty: I Tried (Featuring Akon)
Wish Bone
Bone Thugs, Akon. Yeah. You know don’t nothin’ come easy. You gotta try real real hard. I’ve tried hard. But I guess I gotta try harder.
Chorus: Akon / Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
I tried so hard
Can’t seem to get away from misery
Man I tried so hard
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 tried so hard
Hopin’ 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, gettin’ dough
Krayzie Bone
First let me explain that I’m just a black man
And I come from the dark side
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
Been in and out of relationships
So I’m startin’ to see that it’s me where the complications at
But I’m layin’ back
Prayin’ that
You give that peace of mind to me
I thought I was right
But really I’m wrong
Then again 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 goin’ crazy (yeah, yeah)
Lately I’ve been so faded
Tryin’ to erase it
But I just can’t ‘cause
The drama just grows greater
And I’ve been in so many collisions by puttin’ shit off ’til later
Chorus: Akon / Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
I tried so hard
Can’t seem to get away from misery
Man I tried so hard
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 tried so hard
Hopin’ 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, gettin’ dough
Layzie Bone
It’s like I’m takin’ five steps forward
And ten steps back
Tryin’ to 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 be out here fightin’ 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 inflictin’ on my family?
Hustlin’ and gamblin’
Trickin’ and scramblin’
And losin’ sight of what I’m supposed 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
Chorus: Akon / Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
I tried so hard
Can’t seem to get away from misery
Man I tried so hard
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 tried so hard
Hopin’ 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, gettin’ dough
Chorus: Akon / Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Wish Bone
I see 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 this hustlin’ money
That I don’t understand no 9-to-5 work
Studied on the streets
Hustlas know what I mean
Hustlas ballin’ before us
I’m tryin’ to make it to that major league
So we will never leave
‘Til the sun came up
Gotta get it
No nope
Not leavin’ no budge
Today games they play
Gotta go hard to get what you put in
If you fall off then it’s all on you (all on you)
Gotta watch what you sign to
Try so hard but I won’t pull through
Chorus: Akon / Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
I tried so hard
Can’t seem to get away from misery
Man I tried so hard
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 tried so hard
Hopin’ 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, gettin’ dough
