Imma child of the trenches I was born to loose
When theres money to be made I can't f*cking snooze
In the 9 it gets sticky get it how we livin
Bitch's settin a nigga up so they can bust a mission
Niggas claim they in the field like this what they missin
But when they air up in that cell they want the soul protection
Niggas tried to warn u blood, but you ain't wanna listen
That's wat u get for plyn hard for a lil attention
I was a down n out ass nigga I was missin out
I use to pull a few skits so I can find my route
Granny said this ain't the life you wanna be about
But mama struggled wit the bills I had to make a route
And until I find that route just keep them smiles up
Cuz pretty soon we gone be sippin on them double cups
I said until I find that route just keep them smiles up
Cuz pretty soon we gone be sippin on them double cups
All my life I watched my mama work that overtime
Clockin in from 9-5 she worked for every dime
In them street it get gritty gotta keep a 9
But alotta niggas they don't know bout no hard times
I went to jail at 15 a niggs had no bail
Unit 6 top row I never got no mail
I went down for that gun the streets was all I knew
It be hard to do right when u on the news
I'm just a down N out ass nigga trynna make it out
Put some money in my pocket nigga f*ck the clout
There were days when I was sleepin on my granny's floor
Reminiscing bout my thugs I miss em more n more
I knew alotta niggas laugh but they ain't laughin now
I was broke back then, but I ain't broke now
If u me see me onna streets, don't put yo hands out
Cause you ain't helped when I was down so F*ck yo hand out
I'm from a place where the real can get 100 yrs
And in the end it be the succas wit the most tears
When you stuck up in them streets u better watch yo peers
Cuz in the end it be yo mama shedding all them tears
Niggas said they had my back, but they were never there
Disloyalty up in them street is what I can't bare
I then seen a lotta murders in this past yr
So I pray to God, he let me breathe another yr
I was a down N out ass nigga trynna make it out
I use to pull a few skits so I can find my route
They were times where everybody use to count me out
But I was stuck up in that field, trynna to make a route
I was down back then, but I ain't down now
Now I'm comin for the top & I can't stop now
I said I was down, but now I'm up now
Now I'm comin for the top & I can stop now
