[Intro] Wake up Same block Same cracks Same chalk But my heart still talk (Said my heart still talk, yeah) [Verse 1] Mama on her knees in the kitchen Tears on the floor she was mopbin' "Lord Cover my child in the madness" Old Bible with the edges all rotting I was outside Hoodie and a habit Heard sirens sing They were constant But grace pulled up in the alley Headlights bright through the darkness (yeah) [Chorus] God got me in the trenches I ain't break I ain't bendin' Turn my L's into lessons Turn my pain into blessings Hands up high No flexin' All this faith I'm invested I was lost Now I'm lifted God got me in the trenches [Verse 2] Judge said "Boy You a number" He ain't see the promise in the rubble He ain't see the angels in the struggle He ain't hear my grandma when she mumbled "Can't curse what the Lord done covered" Her voice cut deep through the thunder So I walked out Fire in my chest Every step like a drum from the gutter (hey!) [Chorus] God got me in the trenches I ain't break I ain't bendin' Turn my L's into lessons Turn my pain into blessings Hands up high No flexin' All this faith I'm invested I was lost Now I'm lifted God got me in the trenches [Bridge] From the corner to the choir stand (yeah) From the handshake to the prayer hands From the lockdown to the promised land If you feel me Say "Amen" Say "Amen" (Amen) Say "Amen" (Amen) If you breathing That's a second chance Every heartbeat is a second dance [Chorus] God got me in the trenches I ain't break I ain't bendin' Turn my L's into lessons Turn my pain into blessings Hands up high No flexin' All this faith I'm invested I was lost Now I'm lifted God got me in the trenches
