Poem for the trenches
I'm spitting hood poetry
Might judge me cus they feel like I ain't the man
I'm supposed to be
How the fuck could I ever let a opp get any close to me
Seem like when I get close to reach the top
They'll pull me by my feet
All my life I been close to death at night
It been hard to get some sleep
One thing my mama always told me
Is what you sow is what you reap
So we start selling all this dope
And pray one day we go legit
They was selling all us hope
Where we come from our dreams ain't shit
Remember mama said we broke
And don't got money to pay the rent
And they say money the root of all evil
I hit my knees just to repent
I remember doing all type of illegal shit
Just to make sure we get rich
Can't believe the shit I see
Looks can be deceiving as a bitch
Just cus I smile and you see my teeth
Please don't wake the beast it can get lit
Imma baptist him like a preacher
When I bleach him with this stick
Feel like I'm playing Tetris
Cus I'm stuck inside these bricks
Feel like my only blessing
That I ain't stuck inside a prison
They say you live to die right now
I'm just dying to keep on living
Don't do bad vibes just keep yo distance
I get big high to the sky I wonder if my mama listening
Free luh Greg and ralph
They gave em too much time in prison
It's looking kinda hard just to make it out the city
Remember staring out them bars
When I was locked in penitentiary
I got some memories so dark I hate to start to reminiscing
Looking in that mirror I'm no longer that luh boy
They thought was innocent
Hood poetry wrote a poem for all the ones
That's still stuck in the trenches
Hope one day we all make it out of here
Before you fly you gotta crawl just like a caterpillar
They thought my heart was a bag of exotic
I had to vacuum seal it
I didn't have a dollar in my pocket I'm like why I'm living
Dealing with these problems started popping
All these damn prescriptions
Rock out widd this glizzy with both hands
Like I was ambidextrous
Easy to deal with all the losses
If you look at em as lessons
The chances you got to make it out that shit real anorexic
I'm spitting hood poetry
Might judge me cus they feel like I ain't the man
I'm supposed to be
How the fuck could I ever let a opp get any close to me
Seem like when I get close to reach the top
They'll pull me by my feet
All my life I been close to death at night
It been hard to get some sleep
One thing my mama always told me
