[Chorus: Akon]

1. I tried so hard
2. Can't seem to get away from misery
3. Man, I tried so hard
4. Will always be a victim of these streets
5. It ain't my fault 'cause I
6. Try to get away but trouble follows me
7. And still I try so hard
8. Hopin' one day you'll come and rescue me
9. But until then I'll be posted up
10. Right here: rain, sleet, hail, snow
11. But until then I'll be posted up
12. Right here with my heat, gettin' dough
