If you ain't tryna beat the trenches, what's the reason
I got dogs that I ain't never gettin back, one day I'll meet em
So when I tell you that I love you know I mean it
I know I ain't perfect but I'm tryin just believe me
And my stomach rumble but I did my best to feed em
We're really poppin bottles, was poppin poles never seen em
Aye walking through these gates of hell with all my demons
Aye never thought I see it this far but I believed it

It be hard for me to sleep, I been needin meds
I left my heart up in the trenches I can't get it back
I been mixing different drugs just to feel again
Lately my dogs been on my mind and I been missin em
I know the streets will never change why I keep coming back
Sometimes I smile before I cry just be hiding that
Snakes be smilin in my face I just be smilin back
I'm at peace when I'm alone ain't no denying that
All these people all around me say they proud of me
If you sayin that you love me would you slide for me
I can't do that back and forth ain't no time for me
Aye money on my mind like kryptonite for me
Conversations on the phone or behind the glass
Where I got no where else to vent I always got my fans
Make it look easy but its hard we just for signing now
I wish my dogs could see me shine I really blew off rap
If you ain't tryna beat the trenches, whats the reason
I got dogs that I ain't never gettin back, one day I'll meet em
So when I tell you that I love you know I mean it
I know I ain't perfect but I'm tryn just believe me
And my stomach rumble but I did my best to feed em
We're really poppin bottles, was poppin poles never seen em
Aye walking through these gates of hell with all my demons
Aye never thought I see it this far but I believed it

Tired of cryin on the mic I just need to vent
I'm from the trenches life or death turn boys to men
Aye different bitches all around me still don't feel nothing
Even when I fucked them bitches it don't mean nothing
I got diamonds on my body tryna cover scars
If you ain't ready do that time don't jump in that car
Mixin drugs closed my eyes I woke up on mars
Free my dogs up out em cages waitin on em calls
Aye catch a body for the gang you really with the cause
Motivation for the trenches I gave it my heart
If you know then you know, genuine from the start
Rap checks comin in but we'll still jug and rob
Aye 8 street I fell in love with my block
Before I took this shit for real I was lost
Dancing with the devil he been steppin on my feet
So conversation with my weapons he been with me when it talk
If you ain't tryna beat the trenches, whats the reason
I got dogs that I ain't never gettin back, one day I'll meet em
So when I tell you that I love you know I mean it
I know I ain't perfect but I'm tryn just believe me
And my stomach rumble but I did my best to feed em
We're really poppin bottles, was poppin poles never seen em
Aye walking through these gates of hell with all my demons
Aye never thought I see it this far but I believed it
