[Intro: DJ Drama & Carvena]
Damn, I can't lie (I can't believe, yeah, can't believe we made it)
After all this I still can't believe we made it
[Chorus: Carvena & DJ Drama]
I can't believe we made it (Can't believe)
Right out of the trenches (I mean, who would've thought?)
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it
(From mixtapes to Grammy's)
Do it for my people who would never get to see it
Yeah, yeah
(I can't beliеve it)
Can't believе we made it (Can't believe, oh)
(We livin' proof)
Right out of the trenches
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it
(If you can think it, you can achieve it)
Do it for my people that'll never ever see it (We the field of dreams)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: CyHi]
This life ain't nothin' special
You write your name in cursive 'cause you signin' with the devil
Most of us don't retire with a escrow
The environment is Death Row
At the Grammy's with a hoodie on like I didn't know the dress code (Damn)
They found us in the ghetto, now the wine is a prosecco
It's violence in the echoes of the partners that you let go
Huh, 'cause when you black, they put the pot against the kettle
The hood can't wait to put your name inside a cigarello (N***a, hello)
They killed you for your chain, that means they robbed you twice
It's a shame they want you to be the same when you off the mic
And you don't wanna be in them interviews being defamed by Charleston White
This game 'bout copyrights, don't get caught up in all the hype (Aight?)
'Cause I remember the day they hit my dog with life
Them folks tried to throw the chair at my n***a like Bobby Knight (Damn)
And you got people like Cannon and Drama who fought the fight (Fight)
So this generation now wouldn't have that hard of plight
'Cause the streets that I ran reminds me of the Middle East
Can't walk in a n***a sneaks, makin' it here wasn't a little feat
So when I pick a beat the only time me and my people speak When you goin' through a sour patch the victories are bitter sweet (But we still succeed)
[Chorus: Carvena & LaRussell]
Can't believe we made it (Can't believe)
Right out of the trenches
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it
Do it for my people who would never get to see it
Yeah, yeah
Can't believe we made it (Can't believe, oh)
Right out of the trenches
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it
Do it for my people that will never ever see it (Ayy)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: LaRussell]
Build it from the ground up, they can't say the same as me
I shot ten thousand shots, they don't play the same as me
N***a, this is God workin', never had a Jesus piece
Crocs and Adidas fleece, no ice, I'm shinin' though
We been buildin' equity, even shared the recipe
Hard to keep a smile when everything you've built's in jeopardy
N***as try to get under your skin, call it leprosy
All the n***as y'all think is clean, look a mess to me
I ain't here to judge 'em though, y'all should probably help the man
Bunch a n***as reachin' out, still ain't see a helpin' hand
All I see is leeches, slurred speeches, big dogs on long leashes
They ain't happy, they ain't free, they rap too, but they ain't me
Boy, don't play with me, I don't talk to middle men
I see through the smoke, I see big chains on lil' men
I can see the diamonds tryna hide the lack of dental plans
Forty-seat see buses came a long way from rental vans
We ain't have to fake the grind, we ain't have to fake the views
We ain't have to fake the streams, pay the blogs and fake the news
Bet you they can't say the same, really built their own wave
Made it out the V and we don't pay to get our songs played
N***a, this shit different, haha
[Interlude: LaRussell]
This shit different
Come on we on DJ Drama shit
We ain't the same, n***a
Ay, can't believe it
[Chorus: Carvena & DJ Drama]
I can't believe we made it (Can't believe)
Right out of the trenches
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it
Do it for my people who would never get to see it
Yeah, yeah
Can't believe we made it (Can't believe, oh)
Right out of the trenches
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it
Do it for my people that will never ever see it (DJ Drama)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro: DJ Drama]
Huh, when I say I'm really like that
It's for you to know that you really like that
I started with a dream
Look at me now
And like that
We gone
Legendary
