tears in the trenches

0:00

[Intro] Mud on my Timbs Blood on my conscience Prayers in my jawline All this pain, constant (yeah) [Verse 1] Mama said, "Stand tall" But the ground keep sinkin' Eating off a paper plate Still starvin', still thinkin' Homie caught a case Other homie caught a stray Judge gave life Street took his away Folded up letters Names left on read Scrollin' through ghosts All my friends, all dead Hoodie smell like smoke Eyes burn from the stress Say I'm good on the phone But I'm broke in the chest (yeah) [Chorus] These are tears in the trenches They don't dry, they just blend with the dirt Got my fears in the trenches Turn my heart into armor that hurt I got scars they don't mention On my soul, on my shirt These are tears in the trenches I been cryin' so long it don't work (nah) [Verse 2] Turned 18 With a price on my back Candles on the corner Every week, same black Lil bro ask me "Is we ever gon' heal?" Told him, "Stack every dollar" But I still gotta steal Sleeping with the light on 'Cause the dark know my name Therapy a luxury So the bottle took aim I been laughin' at the wake Just to hide what I feel Smile wide in the pictures Eyes tellin' what's real (real) [Chorus] These are tears in the trenches They don't dry, they just blend with the dirt Got my fears in the trenches Turn my heart into armor that hurt I got scars they don't mention On my soul, on my shirt These are tears in the trenches I been cryin' so long it don't work [Bridge] If I break down now, who feedin' my folks? (yeah) If I speak my hurt, who treat it like jokes? If I leave this block, do I leave my name? If I make it out, do I bleed the same? (tell me) [Chorus] These are tears in the trenches They don't dry, they just blend with the dirt Got my fears in the trenches Turn my heart into armor that hurt I got scars they don't mention On my soul, on my shirt These are tears in the trenches I been cryin' so long it don't
