I put my back up on the line to let you know this shit here real
Tell it how it is everybody changed when I sat and signed a deal
Stop seeing shit for how I wanted it to be
Started seeing shit how it is
Even know my nigga mad at me I swear I'm 'a still pay for his appeal
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell you how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell it how it is
I was born and raised into this shit so I'm 'a keep this shit here gutta
Boy I swear this shit get ugly so don't take me for no other
Bitch don't play me for no buster I was the one behind that cutter
I trapped through miles you went through inches
Police they come out I jump the fences
I seen them boys way back without a 12 gauge
Bitch you know it's Ace we play his cards just like we playing spades
I done dove in that ocean I went all the way
Feel like I was the only one who struggling I had harder days
Sit at the Round table with my nigga and split my backend
Went out of style I was the one who brought it back in
When you come to my city tap in
I was robbing niggas you looked up to who was trapping
One thing I'm 'a tell it how it is bitch I ain't just rapping
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell you how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell it how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell you how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell it how it is
I done gave so much love out this shit here hurting my heart
I got so much shit built in I just don't know where to start
You looking at me for what you seeing in my car
You just don't know what I had to go through to be a star
Playing with my shadows on the dark side
I just hope y'all took off I swear see these people so many times
What I did for you I'll put em under
My heart was cold all through the summer
Won't speak on you you know I'm coming
Open fire bitch I won't tumble
Grab my hand express the way I feel
I ain't no Nelly in this bitch but it's getting hot in here
I speak the the truth but I know this shit lead death
I was out here putting iron on a nigga and I didn't give a fuck how my conscious felt
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell you how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell it how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell you how it is
I swear the streets don't want no more of me
I'm from the trenches I'm 'a tell it how it is
