[Intro: Tee Grizzley]
Want to hear all their preachin', man look
It's a difference between preaching and speaking from experience
(We give 'em hope)
We the one's movin' around them trenches man (We give 'em hope)
I got them n***as woke man (We give 'em hope)
I give them n***as hope man (We are the hope)
Make sure you tell them (Tell 'em)
[Chorus: Tee Grizzley]
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up, wake up, stay up, pray up (Pray up)
Stay up, wake up (Ohh) Pray up (Ohh)
Motivate the trenches (Motivate the trenches)
We got 'em woke (We got 'em woke)
Street n***as winnin' (Street n***as winnin')
We give 'em hope (We give 'em hope)
Motivate the trenches (Motivate the trenches)
We got 'em woke (We got 'em woke)
Street n***as winnin' (Street n***as winnin')
We give 'em hope (We give 'em hope)
[Verse 1: Tee Grizzley]
We live in the days where n***as do sh**, without even thinkin' about it (Thinkin' about it)
But who am I to talk, blew 50k, without thinkin' about it (Thinkin' about it)
Beefin' wit' n***as about sh** so stupid we shouldn't be beefin' about it
If you in high school I encourage you, go try to make it to college (Go try to make it)
Got n***as in prison
Your body locked up, don't let your mind be
Daydream, make a plan, write it out
Don't forget that your mind free
Don't let that wasted time be a waste of time
That's how n***as get back in chains
Bro only 5'8 but he run up and bang on you like he 'Bron James
f**in' up the money, steady buyin' chains (Steady buyin' chains)
But this what I wanted
Bust down Rollie, AP, sh** feel good and look good don't it?
I got the ball, got hit, fumbled
Picked it back up, scored six on 'em
Did a field goal with the Louis kicks on 'em
Said I would lose, got the win on 'em like
[Chorus: Tee Grizzley]
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up (Ohh) Pray up (Ohh)
Motivate the trenches (Motivate the trenches)
We got 'em woke (We got 'em woke)
Street n***as winnin' (Street n***as winnin')
We give 'em hope (We give 'em hope)
Motivate the trenches (Motivate the trenches)
We got 'em woke (We got 'em woke)
Street n***as winnin' (Street n***as winnin')
We give 'em hope (We give 'em hope)
[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]
I'm in the trenches (I'm in the trenches)
I give 'em hope (Hope, hope)
I get 'em books (I get 'em books)
I get 'em coats (I get 'em coats)
They f** wit' the kid (f** wit' the kid)
I'm the adult
b**h I'm the father figure, n***a the coach
f** a result, I want revolt
You want the bow ties, well you need a co-sign
And I'm at your bowtie, since you let Bettie Jones die
Gotta go hit up Kofa, then I go hit the folks (huh!)
Then I go hit up Sosa, gotta hitcha from both sides
Get the Zulu and show sides and I gotta ride shotgun
Ain't no fun when you ghostride
Tell the mayor I'm gon' slide
And the city my co-pilot
Nothin' but a lil' more mileage
You don't want the type of smoke I lift
Show these b**hes overprofilin'
[Chorus: Tee Grizzley]
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up, wake up, pray up, stay up
Wake up (Ohh) Pray up (Ohh)
Motivate the trenches (Motivate the trenches)
We got 'em woke (We got 'em woke)
Street n***as winnin' (Street n***as winnin')
We give 'em hope (We give 'em hope)
Motivate the trenches (Motivate the trenches)
We got 'em woke (We got 'em woke)
Street n***as winnin' (Street n***as winnin')
We give 'em hope (We give 'em hope)
