Lyrics Translation

Bone Thugs, Akon, yeah
You know though nothin' come easy, you gotta try real, real hard
I tried hard, but I guess I gotta try harder

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 try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail, snow)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)

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
I'm startin' to see that it's me where the complications at
But I'm layin' back, prayin' that you get that piece of mind of me
I thought I was right, but really I'm wrong, but again I was too blind to see
I was in the fast lane chasin' my dream
And then it seemed when the fame and cash came, they just got me
Goin' crazy (lately, lately) lately I been so faded trying to erase it
But I just can't 'cause the drama just grows greater
And I been in so many collisions by puttin' shit off till later

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 try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail, snow)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)

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 the 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 (family)
Hustlin' and gamblin', drinkin' and scramblin'
And losin' sight of what I supposed to be handlin'
It's hard to manage 'cause every day's a challenge and, man
And I'm slippin', can't lose my balance, and tryin' not to panic

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 try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail, snow)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)

I see things won't change (won't change) I'm stuck in the game
As soon as I get out, it keeps pullin' me back, man (pullin' me back, man)
Got me doin' dirty dirt, so used to this hustlin' money
That I don't understand no nine to five work
Studied on the streets, hustlas know what I mean
Thugstas ballin' before us, I'm tryin' to make that major league
So we never leave, never 'til the sun came up (came up)
Gotta get it, nope, no leavin', no grudge (no grudge)
Today games they play, gotta go hard to get what you put in
If you fall off, then it's all on you (on you)
Gotta watch what you sign too, try so hard, but I won't act a fool

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 try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail, snow)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)

Bone Thugs, Akon, yeah
Bone Thugs, Akon, yeah
You know though nothin' come easy, you gotta try real, real hard
Você sabe que nada vem fácil, você tem que tentar muito, muito duro
I tried hard, but I guess I gotta try harder
Eu tentei duro, mas acho que tenho que tentar mais
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
Eu tentei tão duro, não consigo me livrar da miséria
Man, I tried so hard, will always be a victim of these streets
Cara, eu tentei tão duro, sempre serei uma vítima dessas ruas
It ain't my fault 'cause I try to get away, but trouble follows me
Não é minha culpa porque eu tento fugir, mas o problema me segue
And still I try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
E ainda assim eu tento tão duro, esperando que um dia eles venham e me resgatem
But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail, snow)
Mas até então estarei aqui na chuva, granizo, neve (granizo, neve)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)
Mas até então estarei aqui com meu calor, ganhando dinheiro (ganhando dinheiro)
First, let me explain that I'm just a black man
Primeiro, deixe-me explicar que sou apenas um homem negro
And I come from the dark side, so I'm havin' a hard time stayin' on track, man
E eu venho do lado escuro, então estou tendo dificuldade em manter o foco, cara
My mind be racin', and I don't even know what I'm chasin' yet
Minha mente está acelerada, e eu nem sei o que estou perseguindo ainda
Been in and out of relationships
Estive em relacionamentos
I'm startin' to see that it's me where the complications at
Estou começando a ver que sou eu onde as complicações estão
But I'm layin' back, prayin' that you get that piece of mind of me
Mas estou relaxado, rezando para que você tenha essa paz de espírito de mim
I thought I was right, but really I'm wrong, but again I was too blind to see
Eu pensei que estava certo, mas na verdade estou errado, mas novamente eu estava cego para ver
I was in the fast lane chasin' my dream
Eu estava na pista rápida perseguindo meu sonho
And then it seemed when the fame and cash came, they just got me
E então pareceu que quando a fama e o dinheiro vieram, eles apenas me pegaram
Goin' crazy (lately, lately) lately I been so faded trying to erase it
Ficando louco (ultimamente, ultimamente) ultimamente eu tenho estado tão desbotado tentando apagar
But I just can't 'cause the drama just grows greater
Mas eu simplesmente não consigo porque o drama só aumenta
And I been in so many collisions by puttin' shit off till later
E eu estive em tantas colisões por adiar as coisas para mais tarde
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
Eu tentei tão duro, não consigo me livrar da miséria
Man, I tried so hard, will always be a victim of these streets
Cara, eu tentei tão duro, sempre serei uma vítima dessas ruas
It ain't my fault 'cause I try to get away, but trouble follows me
Não é minha culpa porque eu tento fugir, mas o problema me segue
And still I try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue me
E ainda assim eu tento tão duro, esperando que um dia eles venham e me resgatem
But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow (hail, snow)
Mas até então estarei aqui na chuva, granizo, neve (granizo, neve)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)
Mas até então estarei aqui com meu calor, ganhando dinheiro (ganhando dinheiro)
It's like I'm takin' five steps forward, and ten steps back
É como se eu estivesse dando cinco passos para frente e dez para trás
Tryin' to get ahead of the game but I can't seem to get it on track
Tentando ficar à frente do jogo, mas não consigo colocá-lo nos trilhos
And I keep runnin' away the ones that say they love me the most
E eu continuo fugindo daqueles que dizem que me amam mais
How could I create the distance when it's supposed to be close? And uh
Como eu poderia criar a distância quando deveria estar perto? E uh
I just don't know, but I be out here fightin' demons, and
Eu simplesmente não sei, mas estou aqui lutando contra demônios, e
It's like the curse that I can't shake this part of Cleveland, and
É como a maldição que eu não consigo sacudir essa parte de Cleveland, e
Lord, would you help me, and stop this pain?
Senhor, você me ajudaria e pararia essa dor?
I keep inflictin' on my family (family)
Eu continuo infligindo na minha família (família)
Hustlin' and gamblin', drinkin' and scramblin'
Hustlin 'e jogando, bebendo e se esquivando
And losin' sight of what I supposed to be handlin'
E perdendo de vista o que eu deveria estar lidando
It's hard to manage 'cause every day's a challenge and, man
É difícil gerenciar porque todos os dias são um desafio e, cara
And I'm slippin', can't lose my balance, and tryin' not to panic
E eu estou escorregando, não posso perder meu equilíbrio, e tentando não entrar em pânico
I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
Eu tentei tão duro, não consigo me livrar da miséria
Man, I tried so hard, will always be a victim of these streets
Cara, eu tentei tão duro, sempre serei uma vítima dessas ruas
It ain't my fault 'cause I try to get away, but trouble follows me

Mas até então estarei aqui na chuva, granizo, neve (granizo, neve)
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat, gettin' dough (gettin' dough)
Mas até então estarei aqui com meu calor, ganhando dinheiro (ganhando dinheiro)
I see things won't change (won't change) I'm stuck in the game
Eu vejo que as coisas não vão mudar (não vão mudar) Estou preso no jogo
As soon as I get out, it keeps pullin' me back, man (pullin' me back, man)
Assim que eu saio, ele continua me puxando de volta, cara (me puxando de volta, cara)
Got me doin' dirty dirt, so used to this hustlin' money

Estudado nas ruas, hustlas sabem do que estou falando
Thugstas ballin' before us, I'm tryin' to make that major league
Thugstas jogando antes de nós, estou tentando fazer essa liga principal
