Stars

(From the trenches to the stars, yeah)


Mama cried ’cause the rent was late
I was outside tryna flip that weight
Cold nights, hoodie on, had to risk my fate
Seen homies die young, man, it’s hard to pray
Every dream that I got came from nightmares
Had to fight through the hate, they don’t fight fair
Heart froze but I’m still tryna care
We was broke but I swear I was right there


And I done seen the bottom, seen the worst of the worst
I put my pain in this music, now I’m makin’ it work
Every scar on my soul just remind me of worth
They throw dirt on my name, but I came from the dirt


I’m from the trenches to the stars now
Every L that I took made my heart proud
I can’t fall, I can’t break, I can’t slow down
Had to grind every night just to glow now
From the trenches to the stars now (yeah)
From the trenches to the stars now (uh)
I can’t let ’em take my heart now (no)
From the trenches to the stars now


We was ridin’ with no destination
But I still had a vision and some dedication
Lost my dog, man, I’m still tryna face it
I’ve been searchin’ for peace, but I still can’t place it
Couple chains on my neck, but it’s deeper than that
’Cause the pain in my chest, I can’t keep it intact
If you ain’t from where I’m from, you don’t see where I’m at
Had to hustle from the bottom just to even the stats


I put my life on the line, they don’t see what I risk
Every shot that they took, I was there for the hit
I was prayin’ for a change, they was prayin’ I quit
Now I’m prayin’ for my dawgs ’cause they still in the mix


I’m from the trenches to the stars now
Every L that I took made my heart proud
I can’t fall, I can’t break, I can’t slow down
Had to grind every night just to glow now
From the trenches to the stars now (yeah)
From the trenches to the stars now (uh)
I can’t let ’em take my heart now (no)
From the trenches to the stars now


Yeah…
We came from the mud, but we ain’t stay there
From the bottom to the sky, I swear it ain’t fair
But every tear, every loss made me way rare
From the trenches to the stars, I’ma stay there
