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
