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

[Chorus: 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 thats 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 to 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 cant cause the drama just goes greater
And I been in so many
Collisions from puttin' shit up till later

[Chorus]

[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 suppose 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 cuz everyday's a challenge
And man I'm slippin'
Can't lose my balance I'm tryin' not to panic

[Chorus]

[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 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, 'til 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

[Chorus]
