[Verse 1]
I don't know about you, but I ain't tryna die young
I don't like to brag about the shit that I done
I took good care of the streets, I'm an icon
I got snaked by some niggas, took care of my son
I ain't put that on they lawyer, they got them title
The way you wrote that statement, you a writer
Told on 'em in the station, gave 'em right up
DD did time with no lawyer, it's survival
I'ma cut your ass right off, hang with my rivals
Catch a case while you a felon, I'll say it's my gun
They got my picture in the feds, say I'm a Disciple
They say I switched up 'cause I don't believe in the Bible
First time on the head, I kept my eyes closed
Only nigga I'm scared of is John Doe
And no support 'll make your time slow
Just a real nigga without trying to

[Chorus]
See the trenches had made us
Lil' nigga, got my weight up
Hard work and dedication
Street niggas need to pray up
Street niggas need to pray up
Street niggas need to pray up
Street niggas need to pray up
Street niggas need to pray up

[Verse 2]
It be your dog, it be your dog
That shit so crazy what happened to Law
When the streets took Baby D, it had came with a flaw
Granny asked where Nuski at, it's crushing my heart
Tryna smoke on some zaza, just pass me the tops
The reason I can't trust y'all, you talkin' to opps
That shit be strange when they say they love you
They say I changed when I got a hundred
You can't complain 'cause I been a hundred
Wartime inside the trenches, buyin' different bullets
Hop out a Cutlass right into the bushes
Run right on 'em while them niggas lookin'
Blood in my eyes, they tryna get me
I'm the most wanted in my city
I'm the most hated in my city
Gotta watch out for the niggas who gon' envy

[Chorus]
See the trenches had made us
Lil' nigga, got my weight up
Hard work and dedication
Street niggas need to pray up (Yeah)
Street niggas need to pray up (Yeah)
Street niggas need to pray up (Yeah)
Street niggas need to pray up (Yeah)
Street niggas need to pray up (Yeah)

Durk Derrick Banks (born October 19, 1992), better known as Lil Durk, is a rapper, singer, and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Durk is best known for his involvement in the drill wave that took the music world by storm in the 2010s. He is the founder of his own record label, Only the Family (OTF).

Durk’s early career was, like many drill artists, plagued with legal issues and accusations of violence. These issues eventually led to his shows being canceled.

In 2012, his career took off with the release of “L’s Anthem” and its French Montana-featuring remix. In 2013, he continued his hot streak with “Dis Ain’t What U Want,” a conscious reflection on his perception in the media and throughout his city. In 2015, he released his debut studio album Remember My Name and the viral sensation, “My Beyoncé” with DeJ Loaf.
