Trenches

[Verse 1]
I started off against the opposition
With no pot to piss in
Let alone a sit to sit in
Little known that this was written
They threw me in and I responded to the competition
Learn a mission, started getting vicious, pend them to submission
Snake surfaced, bought a Benz pastry
Cash for the purchase
They said that I was worthless
I got money, I've been working
Love them strippers when they twerking
And I got the baddest chick
I give her kisses, buy her purses
I got power and respect
18-carat on my neck
We just fleweded on Bahamas
Us and TP on the jet
That's respect
Had a lotta debt, now I gotta check
That's a bet, ain't no need to flex
Let that money stretch
I was always taking notes when I was sitting on the bench
You can't get nothing from me
I won't even give an inch
Most the ones you see me with
They was with me in the trenches
You either with us or you out
Ain't no somewhere on the fence

[Chorus]
You can't hold me down
They can't hold me back
I do this for my family and put them on my back
I do this for the people that helped put me on the map
Praying for the ones we ain't never getting back
They can't hold me down
They can't hold me back
I do this for my family and put them on my back
I do this for the people that helped put me on the map
Praying for the ones we ain't never getting back

[Verse 2]
I started seeing paper, that's when I saw who was hating
Got half a ticket, that ain't no debating
They thrilling when I'm in a building, I can see who fake it
They make me nervous so I imitate them
Shorty demonstrate it, show me how you operate it
That gettin' poppin' money dropping, ain't it?
You got me waiting, growing hard, I'm working on my patience
You wanna stay around, you better show me more than basics
Half the women that I been around seen how I get down
And the other half probably mad that I'm not around
Ain't waiting in no line
And they ain't gon' pet us down
Do the math
Peep at how I school them like a (?)
Shorty showing off how wet it get
Drop it low, that kitty swole through the sillouette
Ain't looking for (?) she don't feel into it
She just bless me with that stupid head like she illiterate
Ain't tryna trick, I'm tryna show you this how lit it get
That prison set was just a lesson
We ain't stressing
Now my money all legitimate
Chilling
Sitting on about half a million
Sippin' on juice, now my double cup spillin'

[Chorus]
They can't hold me down
They can't hold me back
I do this for my family and put them on my back
I do this for the people that helped put me on the map
Praying for the ones we ain't never getting back
They can't hold me down
They can't hold me back
I do this for my family and put them on my back
I do this for the people that helped put me on the map
Praying for the ones we ain't never getting back
