Deep In The Trenches

[INTRO — Deep, Menacing Voice] (Yeah… yeah…) Ain't no love where I'm from, just pain in the pavement. (Grrah! Grrah!) Whole city know my name, ain't no need for introductions. Ten toes down, motherfucker… Welcome to the trenches. [HOOK — HARD, AGGRESSIVE] I'm a thug, gang-tied, blacked-out whip, Gold on my neck with a deathwish drip. Came from the mud, now the whole squad lit, Heart so cold, got ice in my ribs. Gang, gang! (Gang!) We don't fold, don't switch, Big bad wolf, make the whole block flinch. Raised in the dark, where the lost souls live, Took my pain, made a whole lotta wins. [VERSE 1 — GRITTY FLOW] Black hoodie up when I step outside, Too much pain that I keep inside. Mama said, "Son, don't live that life," But the streets raised me, I was born to survive. Ten toes planted, got dirt on my shoes, Trust real thin, ain't got shit left to lose. Everybody tough till they hear that truth, I was down bad, now I'm breaking the rules. Cold nights, no sleep, just schemes in my head, Lost two brothers, still hear what they said. Pour one out for the ones that bled, Keep their names alive till the day I'm dead. I don't do love, I don't do fake, Too many smiles with a snake-ass face. Whole gang hungry, had to fight for a plate, Now we pull up deep, make the whole ground shake. [HOOK — BEAT DROPS HARDER] I'm a thug, gang-tied, blacked-out whip, Gold on my neck with a deathwish drip. Came from the mud, now the whole squad lit, Heart so cold, got ice in my ribs. Gang, gang! (Gang!) We don't fold, don't switch, Big bad wolf, make the whole block flinch. Raised in the dark, where the lost souls live, Took my pain, made a whole lotta wins. [VERSE 2 — FASTER, MORE AGGRESSIVE] Fuck what they heard, let the real ones speak, Whole lotta pressure, never show no weakness. Seven days straight, I ain't slept all week, Got a mind full of demons that I never release. Ridin' through the city with the bass on ten, Same day ones, I don't need new friends. If I said it's love, then it's love till the end, If you cross that line, you ain't coming back in. I seen good hearts turn stone-cold black, Seen real ones leave, never make it back. Now I move real smart, keep my circle intact, Got the weight of the world, put the gang on my back. Fuck a fake king with a plastic crown, I came from the dirt, I ain't backing down. Whole squad up when I come around, 808 hit, make the walls fall down! [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME, DARK WHISPERS] (Shhh…) You don't know what it cost me… You don't know what I lost… Every scar got a story. Every win got a cost. (Gang… gang…) Ain't no turning back now. [FINAL HOOK — FULL BEAT, DISTORTED 808s] I'm a thug, gang-tied, blacked-out whip, Gold on my neck with a deathwish drip. Came from the mud, now the whole squad lit, Heart so cold, got ice in my ribs. Gang, gang! (GRRAH!) We don't fold, don't switch, Big bad wolf, make the whole block flinch. Raised in the dark, where the lost souls live, Took my pain, made a whole lotta wins. [OUTRO — DEEP VOICE, BEAT FADING] Born in the trenches… Raised by the pressure… Loyalty over everything. You either built for this shit… Or you break under pressure. (Yeah… gang shit…
