in the trenches

[Verse] Came from nothin’, stomach growlin’, pissy hallways Sirens sang me lullabies, welcome to the hard days Trust get you buried quicker than a gun case Same blood turn stranger over small change I don’t talk peace, I talk progress Every loss taught me profit, every scar taught me logic Niggas die over rumors, bitches lie for deposits I been silent, stackin’, movin’ militant, cautious [Hook] Heart cold, soul dark, still breathe fire Came up broke, now the pressure make kings rise No love in this shit, just steel and desire Either you built for the heat or you melt in the fire [Verse 2] I done watched niggas fold over fame lust Same ones preachin’ real, first to change up Had to cut ties, blood spillin’ off the scissors Ain’t no pity in survival, only winners Streets taught me count twice, sleep once Move quiet, never flex what you brung I don’t beg, I don’t borrow, I take risk If I’m breathin’, best believe I’m gettin’ rich [Outro] This ain’t rap, this a warning From the bottom where the weak get extorted I survived what was meant to destroy me Now I’m hungry like the first day they ignored [Verse] Came up off the pavement, hunger in my stomach Mama stressin’, lights flicker, still I wanted somethin’ Lost bros to the system, lost more to the grave Learned early how to smile while I’m duckin’ the pain Trust thin, pockets thick, I been weighin’ my options Every move calculated, streets watchin’ like auctions Ain’t no cap in my talk, this survival, not hype I done slept in that dark just to shine in that light [Hook] Ain’t no tears when you built from the cold Heart froze, still ten toes on the road If I eat, everybody with me whole From the bottom to the top, that’s the code [Verse 2] I seen loyalty switch like the seasons do Same ones cheerin’ quiet when the breeze blew I don’t speak on the dead, I let God judge But I pour one for my dawgs in that hard mud Pressure make diamonds, I been faceted Every scar on my body a testament I ain’t rich yet, but I’m richer in mindset Still grindin’ like I ain’t got nothin’ lined yet [Outro] If you know, then you know, this a lonely climb But the real gon’ prevail every single time
