Back on my grind no peace in the system

Had to get it out the mud no wishlist

Talkin pain this deeper than scriptures

Mask on heart cold like the winter (uhh)

Woke up stressed still pray to the East

I been battlin devils that feast

City on fire no love in the streets

Voices in my head say "never be weak"

(yeah)

(what)

They don't know what I faced in the dark

Whole fam eatin off crumbs and heart

Momma cried nights I was back in the yard

No lights on just the sound of the cars

Grew up on pain turnt that to a lesson

Posted on blocks where death keep pressin

Ain’t no peace just smoke and confessions

Still throw fists when life start testin

I ain't fold though mind like a razor

Life got hands but I came out braver

Never seen a halo just cops with a taser

System don’t love us they just wanna cage us

This for the trials the nights that I cried

For the homies that fell for the ones that survived

From the struggle we rose with pain in our eyes

I been through hell now I’m learnin to fly

(woo)

Trials

(yeah)

We been through trials

(uh huh)

This that survival

Can’t fake what’s vital

Fake love in my DM’s flooded

But where was they when my shoes got blooded

All I had was a pen and hunger

Whole world sleepin I was screamin from hunger

Grit in my soul I don't need no feature

My pain don’t stream it preach like a preacher

Streets taught me more than the school did teach us

Lost too much can’t let no leech up

Scars on my knuckles from fights I won

Real ones gone they ain't see the sun

Now I write truth in the booth for fun

But it’s still real when the day is done

This for the trials the nights that I cried

For the homies that fell for the ones that survived

From the struggle we rose with pain in our eyes

I been through hell now I’m learnin to fly

(woah)

Trials

(say that)

We been through trials

(that’s facts)

This that survival

(uhh)

Can’t fake what’s vital

We was never meant to win they say

But we built our name from the ash and clay

Still walk proud through the disarray

Still pray loud like it's judgement day

This for the trials the nights that I cried

For the homies that fell for the ones that survived

From the struggle we rose with pain in our eyes

I been through hell now I’m learnin to fly

Trials

We been through trials

This that survival

Can’t fake what’s vital

(Still standin)

(Still fightin)

Trials

(Still risin)

Still risin
