BETTA SLIDEE

Intro

Mm

Yeah uh

Verse 1

Me and my brother had one rule

Never trust nobody that ain't from the block

Caught a opp creeping through the alleyway

He was moving slick but his timing off

We was twelve when the first one left

Mama crying while the candles burned

Told myself I'd make it out the mud

Even when the whole world turned

Pre-Chorus

Slide through the night

Eyes on the light

Praying I make it home

Before the morning light

Chorus

I'm from the trenches where the bangers roam

Every corner got a different tone

Niggas plotting in the shadows

Waiting on they chance to take a soul

Yeah I came up from the bottom

Now they know me where I go

Block cold I'm still standing

Grass grew where the blood used to flow

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Where the blood used to flow

Yeah yeah

Verse 2

Uncle always told me keep a smile

But a smile never stopped a hollow tip

Got the text at 2 AM

Said my cousin caught a case and slipped

Moved out west but the pain followed

Ghosts riding in the passenger seat

Every time I try to run from it

The memories get up on they feet

Pre-Chorus

Slide through the night

Eyes on the light

Praying I make it home

Before the morning light

Chorus

I'm from the trenches where the bangers roam

Every corner got a different tone

Niggas plotting in the shadows

Waiting on they chance to take a soul

Yeah I came up from the bottom

Now they know me where I go

Block cold I'm still standing

Grass grew where the blood used to flow

Bridge

They say boys turn to men

When they learn to carry weight

But I was carrying a coffin

Before I turned to age of eight

Put my trust in a nine

Put my soul in the street

If I die before I'm thirty

Tell my mama I'm complete

Chorus

I'm from the trenches where the bangers roam

Every corner got a different tone

Niggas plotting in the shadows

Waiting on they chance to take a soul

Yeah I came up from the bottom

Now they know me where I go

Block cold I'm still standing

Grass grew where the blood used to flow

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Where the blood used to flow

Yeah yeah

From the block I go
