Trenches

Oba malo gbemu
Awan aye mahun gemu

See my mama
Born me well I know
And we not get
So much but hope
You eat or be eaten
The street is cold oh
This things make me
Stronger reach my bone
It's our life in the ghetto

But thank God say man no look
Like what man is been through eh
See everyday struggle man still
Joyful the matter fe humble you oh
Many of my boys couldn't see the light
Some them pky some serving time
But this music shit keep me inside
So I learn to control my demons
But hold my weapon cause

Down in the trenches
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real
Down in the trenches
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real
It goes down
In the trenches gahn
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real
Down in the trenches
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real

Oba malo gbemu
Malo ma soroko
Legbe koro koro koro
Awan aye mahun gemu
Cause anybody
Body fi check you
Kosi omode
Oba malo gbemu
Ma shey bi bolo bolo
Malo gban gban gban
Awan aye mahun gemu
Anybody body could
Be somebody body body

It was never enough
We just giving it all
Me just just putting all
Cause we limit on choice
And I no fe talk all
We political thugs
Na them recruit the boys
Na them giddem the gun
Fly the color fly the color
Two man done down
No no no no tonight
Their mama gahn cry
Many dreams turned nightmare
Men them wan fight men
Political high tech
Mudafukas don't care

But thank God say man
No look like what man
Is been through eh
See everyday struggle man
Still joyful the matter fe humble you oh
Many of my boys couldn't see the light
Some them pky some serving time
But this music shit keep me inside
So I learn to control my demons
But hold my weapon cause

Down in the trenches
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real
Down in the trenches
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real
It goes down
In the trenches gahn
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real
Down in the trenches
Down in the trenches
It goes down for real

Oba malo gbemu
Malo ma soroko
Legbe koro koro koro
Awan aye mahun gemu
Cause anybody body fi check you
