Made It Out

made it from the trenches, they ain’t wanna see me get here

Thoughts in my mind, yeah I could never think clear

I just wanna go so far where they don’t really know me

Lost in the sauce, man I really miss my homies

They ain’t see the work, they just see the flex

They ain’t see the grind, they don’t know my strength

All the nights I prayed, I give God the glory

Now they see the shine, but they don’t know my story

(Echo)

Give God the glory… glory…

Verse 1

Providence nights, catching flights out PVD

Young kid dreaming bigger than the satellite TV

City full of pressure, tried its best to break me

But the fire in my chest kept telling me be me

Everybody talking but they never saw the fight

All them silent prayers I was whispering at night

Grandpa told me keep the faith through the rain

Even when the pressure start messing with your brain

Now I’m chasing every dream they said I couldn’t reach

Still hear his voice every time that I speak

Lost a couple brothers to the weight of the road

Some switched sides when the pressure unfold

Now I ride through the city while the nightfall creeps

Thinking ’bout the past when the memories run deep

They see the shine now but don’t know the pain

How the storms in my life made the man I became

⸻

Hook

I made it from the trenches, they ain’t wanna see me get here

Thoughts in my mind, yeah I could never think clear

I just wanna go so far where they don’t really know me

Lost in the sauce, man I really miss my homies

They ain’t see the work, they just see the flex

They ain’t see the grind, they don’t know my strength

All the nights I prayed, I give God the glory

Now they see the shine, but they don’t know my story

(Echo)

Give God the glory… glory…

⸻

Verse 2

Used to walk alone with the weight on my chest

Turning every loss to a lesson at best

City full of pressure had to learn how to stand

When the odds stacked high I just trusted the plan

Late nights thinking how my life might change

Trying to stay focused while the pain remained

Now they see the shine and the life I’m living

But they don’t see the scars or the faith I was given

⸻

Bridge

If I make it to the top I pray I stay humble

Every blessing from above helped me rise from the rubble

And if heaven hear my voice when I’m calling back

Tell my grandpa that I made it… but I still want him back
