III
Josh and Derek Lyrics

See Let me tell you how it is Up in the Trenches
I'm going to give you a glimpse of what life is like in the streets

These Nigggas be snitching
There are people out here who can't be trusted - they'll rat you out to save themselves

That's why they swimming with the fishes
Those who betray others may end up dead or worse

Gotta watch these lil Bitches
I have to be cautious around those who shouldn't be trusted

Cuz they be really on a mission
They have their own agenda, and it's not in my best interest

Gotta clutch on this Glizzy momma
I have to hold onto my firearm, because I don't know who's with me

Cuz I don't know who with me
I have to be wary of everyone around me

Had to wake up and listen
I had to snap out of my tunnel vision and pay attention to my surroundings

Cuz I was getting tunnel vision
I was too focused on one thing and wasn't paying attention to my surroundings

Better keep you a distance
If you can't see my bigger picture, then stay away from me

If you don't see the bigger picture
If you can't understand my goals, then you're not worth my time

Fell in love with these digits
I've become obsessed with making money

I need this shit a lil quicker
I need to make money faster

Like fuck the Corona
I don't care about the pandemic, I'm focused on making money

It's like my flow keep getting sicker
I'm getting better and better at my craft

I bet I can do this shit in different ways
I'm confident that I can succeed using different strategies

These niggas plotting
There are people who are planning to bring me down

Trynna crop me up out the frame
They want to remove me from the picture

I ain't into the switching I'm staying the same
I'm not going to change who I am or what I stand for

Catch me on this rap shit I bet I'm doing my Thang
You can find me making music and doing what I love

It's never for fame
I don't do this for the attention or recognition

I bet I go make a way
I'm determined to succeed and make a name for myself

See Let me tell you how It is Up in the Trenches
I'm giving you a raw, unfiltered look at what life is like in my world

My heart will never heal Because my people keep dying
I'm constantly grieving the loss of loved ones to violence

Yea he'll never be fine
Some people in my community will never recover from the pain they've experienced

Make me pour a deuce right In a Faygo
I'm going to mix my lean with a popular soft drink brand

Have me leaning to a dimension you can't go
I'm going to be so high that it's a feeling you can't understand

Thought I told you before Lil nigga I gotta Lay low
I've warned you multiple times to stay out of my way, because I need to protect myself

Cuz if I turn up I get wild blow like volcanoes
If I let my emotions get the best of me, it could end very badly

And no I can't fold
I can't give up or break down, even when things get tough

When I look out the window I watch the birds fly
I take a moment to appreciate the simple things in life

Hope you know I see through that fake right with my third eye
I can see right through people who are pretending to be something they're not

Run over who be in my way You better swerve by
I'm not afraid to go after what I want, so if you're in my way, you better move

Aint trynna lose up in this race Yea I'm the 1st Guy
I'm determined to win and be the best, even if it means being the first to cross the finish line

I ain't hop no fences in a minute
I haven't run from the law in a while

Yea I done ran from 12 lil nigga I ain't no beginner
I've had experience with the police before, so I'm not scared of them

I'm Turing up ain't taking L's Lil bitch I'm winning
I'm turning up and succeeding, not letting anyone bring me down

Won't put nothing in my Rap that's Cap You know I ain't pretending No
I only write lyrics that are true to me and my experiences, I don't fabricate or pretend
