Coming straight up out them trenches
Where them boys might hit a stain (Hey)
They servin' weight like it's fitness
And I don't know if it'll ever change (Aye, yeah)
Can't leave the crib without that fire
'Cause the opps might up and spray
They'll hit you from point blank range, aye
Huh
Bullets flying every day
Who knew life would ever be this way
Living in a dangerous place
But that's the reality of it
So you keep an FN, right on yo hip
So if they pullin' up they won't catch you slippin', yeah
And it's such a shame, aye
But anyway
Got a family to protect
'Cause ain't no tellin' what could happen next (Aye)
Can't be surprised when they pull out the TEC
'Cause we from a city where we gotta be
Ready for the worst, but hoping for the best
Tryna duck the opps, and runnin' from the feds
Too many thoughts, tryna knock this stress
Not tryna live a life that's full of regrets, but
Coming straight up out them trenches
Where them boys might hit a stain (Hey)
They servin' weight like it's fitness
And I don't know if it'll ever change (Aye, yeah)
Can't leave the crib without that fire
'Cause the opps might up and spray (Yeah, yeah)
I'm not a killer but you ever play with mine
Then I'll do the same
Coming straight up out the trenches
Tryna wish upon a shooting star
Tryna pray for forgiveness
For they do not know who they are (Aye, yeah)
Can't leave the crib without that fire
'Cause the opps might up and spray (Yeah, yeah)
They'll hit you from point blank range, aye
That's why we gotta be safe
Oh yeah
Huh
So much violence where I'm from
So ima tryna grind, tryna get up out the slums
I gotta get mine and I'm chasin' every crumb
Patiently waiting for my time to come
Better believe it's on the way
My brothers in the hood tryna search for better days
Tryna find light in the clouds of grey, aye
But anyway
Goin' through so much, please give me a break
Desperately trying to fix my mistakes
Tryna stay above water but the hood is sinkin'
I pray everyday that we can get it right
In the meantime, I'm off this drank
Yeah we gone be alright 'cause I got a lot of faith
I might fall down but you can never break me
I trust in God, no matter where He take me
Coming straight up out them trenches (Yeah, yeah)
Where them boys might hit a stain (Okay)
They servin' weight like it's fitness
And I don't know if it'll ever change (Aye, yeah)
Can't leave the crib without that fire
'Cause the opps might up and spray (Yeah, yeah)
I'm not a killer but you ever play with mine
Then I'll do the same
Coming straight up out the trenches
Tryna wish upon a shooting star (Okay)
Tryna pray for forgiveness
For they do not know who they are (Aye, yeah)
Can't leave the crib without that fire
'Cause the opps might up and spray
They'll hit you from point blank range, aye
That's why we gotta be safe
Oh yeah
