Music video[edit]
On March 7, 2007, the music video officially debuted on Yahoo! and other websites. On December 31 of the same year, the video appeared at number 89 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2007 countdown. The video shows the group and Akon performing as well as tells the story of a young man in Cleveland where the group was first formed. The man walks into a grocery store, but at the entrance, he collides with a man running out of the store. The man drops what he had in his hand, revealing money. The money is inferred to be stolen from the store. The other man runs away, while the young man picks up his bag. Consequently, a police officer catches him picking up the bag where the money had been dropped. He runs from the police officer, but the officer eventually arrests him. The officer goes to the store to check with the owner if he had arrested the suspect. The store owner says the young man did not rob the store, and then the officer lets the young man go. The video ends with the man walking away from the store.
The music video was directed by Rich Newey.

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) Related
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) Photos
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 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 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)
