Trenches

This the motherfucking trenches

I'm straight up out the trenches Where niggas don't ball they play the benches
Spent 30 years worried bout some bitches
My mama got evicted
That's when the youngin came to his senses
I gotta get this money
That convinced me
Got everything for Christmas
On birthdays Santa don't visit
And no genie is gone fulfill these wishes
So Tezzy gotta get it
That's when i started playing with the rhythm
Because hoopin wasn't increasing my digits
When you broke people don't listen
I was tryna show em all my vision they was playing with a nigga
I'm efficient
Finna show em what they missing Screaming let my family out them Prisons
Cause if not prison break gone be the mission
Now they wishing i was kidding
And even as kid i was sickening Asthma had the youngin so defenseless
Safe to say that I'm addicted
Got money
On clothes imma spend it
Cause everything else is too expensive

This a story bout the trenches
Where they tell you it's survival of the fittest
But survival only coming to the richest
Let me tell you bout the trenches Where niggas not minding they own business
But we all know that snitches get stitches

But we all know that snitches get stitches
This the the motherfucking trenches

Where niggas be playing for both sides
Put his brother on his boat
Now they floating
They both died
It's easy to get scarred for life at most times
I was six when i first seen murder with both eyes
Niggas in streets out here competing for no prize
1 team 10 niggas
And none of em gone ride
But they hoot and they holler
Now one of em gone die
Get fired cause he couldn't set that pride to the side
It's a protest
Hella candidates and i ain't vote yet Until they get some people in office from where my folks at
Obama from the city and that's cool
I don't want that
I need to see some people from the gutter
Where i wrote this maybe then that a bring hope to my friends
Prayed for Devo when he damnear got smoked at the trend
Lost his leg
Still came out the same man
Think of that when i feel i wanna give up and complain
