The Story of Trey Lyrics

It's the same old story where I'm from

Lemme tell you how it goes

Either you're selling drugs playing football or your stuck on the you're stuck on the roads

Nah lemme be open minded cause there's many ways out of the hood

It's hard to stay focused when not many people around you are doing good

Lemme tell you bout trey who I knew from young

He was one of the most coldest ballers all of us saw from the jump

He mashing it up from the conference south nearly made it to league one

Left foot right foot inside outside

However you want it his tech was dumb

But see trey he wanted to be cool

Mixing with his old friends from school

See the problem is they lived on the other side where he used to kickball

And If you're chilling with them then you're one of them

Now that's an unwritten rule

But what would you do if you were trey

These were his bredrins from school

Fast forward now couples years later

Treys mums struggling she needs some paper

Single parent household and she's got neighbours but she can't beg from a stranger

Trey sees his mum and his heart melts

Natural instinct he wants to help

He's gonna quit football get him a part time job and get this dealt

Now he works at the store at the top of his road

His manager shouts and they pay is a joke

And to top it all off he can't afford to buy some him decent clothes

Every penny he gets he gives to his mum

He's working hard but this ain't fun

Even though he's helping his mum

He likes to go out come on he's young

All of this pressure it ain't adding up

Treys thinking I need to pattern up

Plus I'm da man of the house so it's only right that I get my money up

So he hollered at Kyle from the endz

Back in the day they used to be friends

Kyle's got the clothes gyal watch house and the matching benz

Trey's thinking yeah I like what I see

Real talk this could be a bit of me

So Kyle gives him a brick phone and a bit of weed to start selling low-key

Before you know it Trey is up

Laughing all the way bank

Now the streets are getting hotter he feels obliged carry a shank

These times he had no intention to use it

Treys intelligent fam he ain't stupid

Practice what you preach

Tell a youth if you got a brain then use it

Trey lives like there's no tomorrow

Feds are on him he's under obbo

And everyone's telling trey to chill

But he's a leader he don't follow

Now trey wants to check his friends on the block

He doesn't know all them are kyle's opps

So next time he bumps into Kyle for him truss me it's on top

Now trey and kyle yeah they're beefing

If you deep it it's for no real reason

Both of them are ready to switch like the switch in seasons

They're in war to be frank

Out of fear trey backed his shank

It all happened so fast heat of the moment this weren't part of the plan

Now treys inside for attempted murder

And he can't sleep at night

Plus kyles body's never been the same and he needs assisted care for life

Now two mums have just lost their sons

You tell me the reasons why

Like it's all fun and games till someone dies
