I Tried So Hard - Eminem

Where's my snare
I have no snare in my headphones
There ya' go yeah yo' yo'
I tried so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man i tried so hard
I'll 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
Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but
Until then
I'll be postin' up right here
Rain sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be postin' up right here
With my heat gettin' d**e
Gettin' d**e
There's a certain' mystique when i speak
That you notice that's sorta unique
Cause you know it's me
My poetry's deep
And i'm still matic
The way i flow to this beat
You can't sit still
It's like tryin' to smoke crack
And go to sleep i'm strapped
Just knowing any minute i could snap
I'm the equivalent of
What would happen if bush rapped
I bully these rappers so bad lyrically
It ain't even funny
I ain't even hungry
It ain't even money
You can't pay me enough
For you to play me
It's cockamanie
You just ain't zaney enough
To rock with shady
My clocks cuckoo
I got screws loose yeahhh
The whole kit an' kaboodle
I'm just brutal it's no rumour
I'm numero uno assume it
There's no humour in it no more you know
I'm rollin with a swollen bowling ball in my bag
You need a fag to come and tear a new hole in my a**
I tried so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man i tried so hard
I'll 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
Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but
Until then
I'll be postin' up right here
Rain sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be postin' up right here
With my heat gettin' d**e gettin' d**e
From loose yourself
Soul's escapin' through
This hole's that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring
But superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder
Homie grows hotter
He blows us all over
These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows
He's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads got him
He knows he's grown farther from home
He's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold ya nose cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo'
He's called product
They moved on to the next shmo who flows
Who nose dove and sold nada
And so the so proper
His toll it unfolds
And i suppose it's old partner
But the beat goes on
Duh duh doe duh doe dah dah dah dah
I tried so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man i tried so hard
I'll 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
Hoping one day you'll come
And rescue me but
Until then
I'll be postin' up right here
Rain sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be postin' up right here
With my heat gettin' d**e gettin' d**e
I'm supposed to be the soldier
Who never blows his composure
Even though i hold the weight of
The whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it
My crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to
Toe with a benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles
That i can't handle unless i absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader
My crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some sh*t ever just pop off
I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now the ja sh*t i tried to squash it
It was too late to stop it
There's a certain line
You just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say hailie's name on a song and
I just lost it
It was crazy
And even though the battle was won
I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it
Honestly i'm exhausted
And i'm so caught in it i almost feel
I'm the one who caused it
It's not why i got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would i wanna destroy something i helped build
It wasn't my intentions
My intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin'
Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that i knew nothing about
Plus dre told me stay out
This just wasn't my beef
So i did i just fell back
Watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over tv down talkin' a man
Who literally saved my life
Like f**k it i understand this is business
And this sh*t just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this sh*t
Could pop off at any minute cause
I tried so hard
Can't seem to get away from misery
Man i tried so hard
I'll 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
Hoping one day you'll come and rescue me but
Until then
I'll be postin' up right here
Rain sleet hail snow
But until then
I'll be postin' up right here
With my heat gettin' d**e
