I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
Though I came from the trenches
I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
Though I came from the trenches

Listen
Do I or do I not mention
How ghettos are stricken distant 
From the suburbs where we're forbidden
When I visit it's racial profiling
I'm not a tyrant 
Only when provoked display violence
All I know is hood my block my homies
Been all over the country y'all know Im not a phony
The toast be close so don't ever try to insult me
Because you breathe like I breathe
Bleed blood like like I bleed
It's my dream follow through common rules
Do unto others as they have done to you
Vengeance is the Lord's yet some ignore
Seeing my man's blood pour I declared war
Violate certain principles i stand for
Force my hand and risk a stand off
Kill me or I kill you
That's what they planned on
I got a lot to live for you have nothing, a sad song

I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
Though I came from the trenches

Been in love before been a thug before
It's the same lifestyle niggas wanna plug me for
Flashbacks when I rushed the door and dropped my piece
Fast living got me wishing I ain't f*ck with the streets
Most wanted mobster
Got my people not wanting the bother
From a son to a father has brought me drama
Neglected everything that could've ever moved me farther
My mouth turned sour and my heart grew harder
I was destined for that better life driven by ice
I prayed to God every night He'd bring me back to the light
Who knew I'd wind up with these other cats holding gats
Peer pressure put most of my niggaz on a stretcher
The life I always wanted never measured
I knew cops would raid our spot but I aint tell ya
Because whether it's the killers or dealers
Its all failure Momma said never say never
Thanks for the lectures

I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
though I came from the trenches
I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
though I came from the trenches

Every obstacle that seemed impossible to understand
Makes sense now that I've finally grown to be a man
Dealing with everyday situations at hand
I came to the realization I aint shit without fam
My nigga Big died by the code of the streets
As cold as it seems He died still holding his dreams
What cruel world we're living in
Nobody's listening
The more our elders explain 
The more things seem to change
I hate to see another nigga stuck in the game
And for what a sweet chain a little street fame
It's certain things we need to keep plain
Without the glitter and gold
Life is more precious than money and clothes
Even if I was rich it's all bullshit
If i had no one to share it with
Might as well be hopless I cherish every moment 
To the people that I'm close with
Who know the meaning of what broke is 
Y'all keep y'all focus

I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
Though I came from the trenches
I pray for my peeps I play for keeps
Before I lay me down to sleep 
To gain wisdom
Can only move forward
It cant be much longer Stronger 
Though I came from the trenches
