there's a line in I Tried (feat. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony) that goes "I don't understand no nine to five work" Hope this helps, heres the full lyrics

[Intro:]

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.

[Chorus]

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,

Man I tried so hard, but 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)

[verse 1]

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

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 crazyyyy, (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 **** off till later.

[Chorus]

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,

Man I tried so hard, but 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)

[verse 2]

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 inflinctin 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 days a challenge and man

And I'm slippin can't lose my balance and tryin not to panic

[Chorus]

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,

Man I tried so hard, but 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)

[verse 3]

I see thangs won't change (wont 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 tryna make that major league

So we never leave never till 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 its all on you (on you)

Gotta watch what you sign too, try so hard but I won't act a fool.

[Chorus]

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery,

Man I tried so hard, but 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 (gettln' dough)

Answer 6

Once In A While lyrics

I can see it

It's funny man

Cause it's like it's not going nowhere

And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle

I see my pain in your eyes man

So I know you're feelin' me

It's that twinkle man

That sign of struggle

I've seen it

In me

Cause everyday I can't help but see it

People ain't satisfied

And you're hatin' your 9 to 5

Everybody wanna live another life

But every goal or mountain you climb

Not to better your day

That do leave room for people to say

I guess you're livin' better now

Share a little of that cheddar now

Cause I remember days back when

A brother was hustlin and robbin' too

I done tossed up a letter now

On a whole nother level now

Still I can't enjoy my fame

Unless my people doin' the same

And gettin' money too

(Once in awhile I couldn't look at you)

Once in awhile

(and see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more

(Once in awhile I couldn't look at you)

Once in awhile

(and see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more

Cause everytime you ask me, I'm grindin'

It shouldn't have to be that way

You shouldn't have to pay my way

I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day

Got a little problem on the way

Bounty hunters checkin' state to state

Child support lady on your case

Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid

Oh

Is what you'll be askin'

God please hold it down for me

Don't let satan get ahold of me

I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too

But it happened a lot worse to my brother

Muhammad thank God he recovered

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)

Once in awhile

(and see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)

Once in awhile

(and see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)

I see your pain now

I can feel you strain now

And I can see you cryin'

And inside you're dyin

We're all the same now

But you got to make change now

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)

Once in awhile

(and see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)

Once in awhile

(and see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more

Don't wanna cry no more

And I can see

That you don't ever want to struggle no more

And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry now more
