Strayed from out the trenches, I just grew up without my niggas
And they took away my brothers, and they took away my sistas
Them bed bugs had me itchin', it's the reason why I'm trippin
It's the reason why I sippin damn, f*ck the system
Strayed from out the trenches, I just grew up Without my niggas
And they took away my brothers, and they took away my sistas
Them bed bugs had me itchin', it's the reason why I'm trippin
It's the reason why I sippin  damn, f*ck the system

I grew up in the system, I ain't really have shit
But a pocket full of nickels, I was tryna make a flip
And I coulda stuck with class, but I had to make rent
So I started with the gram, till I copped me a zip
I was sleepin' and I floo'  nigga, on a dirty mattress
So rappin' or trappin',  I had to make this happen
I come from a city where shit can get tragic
I come from a city where it's dope dealers and addicts
But just like my scale nigga, I gotta keep my balance
So I gotta keep it sealed in tha cuts like a bandage
I'm a product of environment, so I gotta move in silence
Cause according to the state, we just like to use violence
But have you been up in tha field, seen a nigga push a bag ?
Have you sat up in tha trap, seen a nigga twist tha crack ?
Have you sat up in tha trap, seen a nigga cook tha crack?
I don't think you have, nigga I don't think you have, nigga

Strayed from out the trenches I just grew up, without my niggas
And they took away my brothers
And they took away my sistas
Them bed bugs had me itchin' It's the reason
why I trippin
It's the reason why I sippin damn, f*ck the system
Strayed from out the trenches I just grew up, Without my niggas
And they took away my brothers
And they took away my sistas
Them bad bugs had me itchin' It's the reason why I trippin
It's the reason why I sippin damn, f*ck the system

Damn I had to trap, just to find a better way
I had to make it out the grass, just movin' past them snakes
A nigga had to hustle so I could find better days
But I'm still out here prayin' that my struggle ain't in vain
Cause I'm still up in the field, still stuck up in the rain
I'm still rockin' all forces like nothin' really changed
But you niggas stay switchin' like the lights thats on the wall
When I was down i was doin' bad
And I ain't have a soul to call
I had moments in my life, I was down, feelin' lost
See they like it when we down, cause they wanna see us fall
But that's what happens to us, nigga, when you red, black, and brown
They gon' capture us, nigga, cause they wanna see us drown
Yeah, I pray for my brothers, hope they stay from out them walls
On the nights that I spent, we was duckin' from the cops
I know I had it rough, cause my brothers, they had it hard
We went through foster homes and group homes when they yanked me off the block
When you live up in the system, you can't afford to be soft
That's when I learned to stay quiet so they couldn't read my cards
Cause they tried ta pick and pull me like parts from off a car
Look, suckas tried to play me, they ain't think a nigga hard
So they stole from me, nigga, cause they thought a nigga small
And they would laugh at me, nigga, cause my complexion, it wasn't dark
But I ain't follow none of the rules
So I dropped from out of school
Yeah, I hopped up on the block
Where I learned how to use my tools

Strayed from out the trenches I just grew up, without my niggas
And they took away my brothers
And they took away my sistas
Them bed bugs had me itchin' It's the reason
why I trippin
It's the reason why I sippin damn, f*ck the system
Strayed from out the trenches I just grew up, Without my niggas
And they took away my brothers
And they took away my sistas
Them bad bugs had me itchin' It's the reason why I trippin
It's the reason why I sippin damn, f*ck the system
