Damn 
I can't lie (I can't believe it, I can't believe we made it)
After all this
I still can't believe we made it

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 (I mean who would've thought)
Do it for my people who would never get to see it (from mixtapes to Grammy's)
Yeah, yeah (I can't believe it)
Can't believe we made it (can't believe)
(We livin' proof)
Right out of the trenches
If you see me down you probably wouldn't believe it (if you can think it)
Do it for my people that would never ever see it (you can achieve it)
(We the field of dreams) yeah, yeah, yeah

This life ain't nothing special
You write your name in cursive 'cause you signin' with the devil
Most of us don't retire with an escrow
The environment is death row
At the Grammy's with a hoodie on like I didn't know the dress code
They found us in the ghetto, now the wine is a prosseco
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 Cigarillo (nigga, hello)
They killed you for your chain that means that 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 bein' 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 nigga 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 these streets that I ran reminds me of the Middle East
Cant walk in a nigga sneak's, 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 bittersweet (they cant)

Can't believe we made it (but we still succeed) (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 would never ever see it (ayy)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Built 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
Nigga, 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
Niggas tried to get under your skin, call it leprosy 
All the niggas y'all think is clean, look a mess to me
I ain't here to judge them though, y'all should probably help the man
Bunch a niggas reachin' out, still ain't seen 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 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 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 our own wave
Made it out the V and we ain't pay to get our songs played
Nigga, this shit different
This shit different
C'mon, we on DJ Drama shit
It ain't the same, nigga
Ayy, can't believe it 

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 would never ever see it (DJ Drama)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

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
