Foreword Lyrics

[Intro]
(Helluva made this beat, baby)

[Verse 1]
If I tell my people I love 'em, I really mean it (I do)
Niggas better not trip out in public, we bound leave 'em (Fast)
Ain't no sense in tuckin' my chain, they still gon' see it (Too big)
Micheal Myers, Jason Voorhees, this bitch a demon (No cap)
You jumped off the porch when? I was never on that bitch (Never)
I ain't have a chance to be a kid, that shit was over with (Damn)
They was out here doin' dope, I was on some sober shit
Cool nigga, but you play with me and get over hit (Boom)
I can tеll you all 'bout the trenches 'causе I lived in it (Bitch, I did)
Got money, took cover, and I slid in it (I slid in it)
When the feds did a sweep, my niggas hid in it (They hid in it)
But I can't really speak on all the shit we did in it (Shh)
I can switch names, put a spin on the plot (And fool 'em)
Say what they need, they gon' put me on the cell block (Can't do it)
I gotta teach, you don't hear this type of shit a lot (You don't)
Tell you what you can keep doin' and what you gotta stop (Chill out)
Ayy, playin' by the rules, you gon' end up gettin' lost (Facts)
Real niggas lose, snitch niggas gettin' off (I seen it)
Soft niggas steppin', real killers gettin' soft (I seen it)
It's crazy when you see a lame with it all
Nigga make it for a long time in the dope gang, he a rat
Real niggas never make it last (You know that)
Gettin' money, tell 'em cut you in and they might cut back (Niggas hoes)
Niggas ball hog, never pass (Never)
They say a happy ending shouldn't even have no pull to it (It shouldn't)
Dead or in jail, the streets'll never be good to you (Facts)
They vouchin' for niggas that ain't really hood to you (He a bitch)
No rules, your main homie'll put that wood to you (Brrah)
And these hoes'll do whatever in advance
Act like they in love, they really got different plans (Yeah) A fake nigga with whatever just to get a chance (I seen it)
Until he get ahead, he gon' act like he your mans (Man, I done seen this shit)
One wrong move'll get you stopped at the beginning (Just like chess)
It's only for the moment if you winning
Tryna be a good nigga, they gon' turn you to a menace
Nigga, fall and you finished (Finished)
Chapters of the Trenches (Trenches)
[Chorus]
Spit it 'cause I lived it, nigga, Chapters of the Trenches (Ah, ah, ah)
Can spit it 'cause I lived it, nigga, Chapters of the Trenches (Ah, ah)
Can spit it 'cause I lived it, nigga, Chapters of the Trenches (Ah)
Can spit it 'cause I lived it, bitch, Chapters of the Trenches (Let's get it)

[Verse 2]
Brodie said, "Be in the 'fore the streets light or you in trouble" (Huh?)
Nigga, that shit went in one ear, through out the other (Okay)
I was still outside 'til 2 AM, I was thuggin'
Niggas makin' threats, we like, "f*ck 'em, niggas ain't on nothin'" (Come do it)
Robberies, homicides, brothers dead, mamas cryin' (What else?)
I was still down to ride (Yeah), jump out with that llama flyin'
Sharin' clothes, choppin' dimes, servin' fiends a lot of times
Can't listen when they speak on them trenches, niggas ain't qualified (Bitch)

[Chorus]
Spit it 'cause I lived it, nigga, Chapters of the Trenches (Ah, ah, ah)
Can spit it 'cause I lived it, nigga, Chapters of the Trenches (Ah, ah)
Can spit it 'cause I lived it, nigga, Chapters of the Trenches (Let's get it)
Can spit it 'cause I lived it, bitch, Chapters of the Trenches

[Outro]
Nigga, I lived it, nigga
This ain't no shit I ain't heard about, nigga
This ain't no shit I saw on TV, nigga, I was right there, nigga
f*ck you talkin' 'bout, nigga?
Bitch
