Always catch us there (Always)
'Cause nowhere but the trenches show us love
That's the life of a thug (Yeah)
We don't grieve, ain't no healin'
Can't show feelings so we mask all our pain usin' drugs
That's the life of a thug (Yeah)
Gang-gang, all we know is gang bang
You ain't with us, can't hang
Had a name before the fame, made it rain
In the streets all my life
No, I do not leave without that pipe
I don't fight, they gon' read me my rights, uh
I'm a trenches kid (Kid)
Hood made me a vicious kid
I lost too many niggas in a year
Smokin', I still shed tears
Ice they names out, they still here
Let off that flame, we see brains, ain't no wheelchairs
Retaliation? Who gon' retaliate? We kill niggas (Really)
I'm missin' gang and yell their
name out like they here, nigga
And when we slide, opps gon' feel it, 'til they fear a nigga
Yeah, this song for the real niggas

Even though your thuggin' days are gone (Are gone)
Say I still rep your name, forever live on (Live on)
Say walkin' through the rain with no destination
I ain't got no home
EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on
And if I don't last, your name in all of my songs
Say even if the sky ain't blue no more
That squad here, shit still run in my veins
and you know for sure (For sure)
Never once plotted on goin' against the grain
But my heart cold, they think I'm Baccdoe
EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on (Live on)
EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on (Live on)
Yeah, oh, oh

Let me break it down
this street shit real (This street shit real)
Boys in the hood, I was a lil' boy
when I seen my first person get killed (Damn)
These streets here traumatizing (Traumatizing)
Raised on that block, that shit there traumatized me
Y'all had it good, I was gettin' abused
times I could call nobody (Times I could call nobody)
Wakin' out my sleep, I was gettin' beat
wondered my mom disowned me
Clutchin' my gun
that was the only person there when I was lonely
I was fourteen, I seen my nigga snort
a line of coke (Snort a line of coke)
He was goin' through pain, he prayed he overdosed
I've been around and out of town
been tryna find a place to ease my mind
Clutchin' on my Glock, prepared to die
could happen at any time
I don't cry tears, I cry blood, I'm tired of funerals
I sent a bitch to get the drop
I bust his head; pick and roll

Say even though your thuggin' days are gone (Are gone)
Say I still rep your name, forever live on (Live on)
Say walkin' through the rain with no destination
I ain't got no home
EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on
And if I don't last, your name in all of my songs
Even if the sky ain't blue no more
That squad here, shit still run in my veins
and you know for sure (For sure)
Never once plotted on goin' against the grain
But my heart cold, they think I'm Baccdoe
EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on (Live on)
Yeah, on (EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on)

Even though your thuggin' days are gone
Say I still rep your name, forever live on
Say walkin' through the rain with no destination
I ain't got no home
EJ Murda, you gon' forever live on
And if I don't last
your name in all of my songs (Jonny Shipes)
