Trench Brothers Lyrics by Illijam

Ironic Bombs

2016

[Verse 1: Illijam]
I've seen friends turn to ghosts; eery how they disappear/
Haunt my memories, the air I breathe, I'm feel this atmosphere/
Hawaii and Fiji and Iceland, likewise they thought they were islands/
That's how they got Lost, and not even J.J. Abrams could find them/
A Lone Ranger is an alone ranger/
Unknown dangers, fauxfriends
But so strangers/
Ay they ship captains drowning out every single warning/
Tuning into sirens hitting rocks by the morning/
I remember when I was reeling when my worst nightmare came true/
Laying on the battlefield with a mangled soul, only hurting myself if I moved/
I was screaming “Medic, Medic” so frenetic; I doubt it can get worse/
Saving Private Ryan style I saw a squad bust in First Infantry of the Church/
Milan told me to journal and be honored to get to suffer/
Alex mourned with me, Eric prayed it make me tougher/
Jon & Jordyn let me weep, then turned on some worship music/
Yo my college friends rallied, let me vent, and helped me through it/
A million names that I don’t have bars to say/
A million prayers that I never knew they prayed/
Sustained my soul; I’d be gone without the Body/
When darkness hid his Face His Hands & Feet then came and got me/
[Hook: Illijam]
Locking arms, see the missile fly/
Life is London Blitz, strobe explosions in the sky/
I see silhouettes of loners, hurled through the air/
When they die they all alone; but my fam is everywhere/
They pick me back up when I black out/
Back up when I black out/
Got backup
And they strapped up/
When I fall they get me back out/
[Verse 2: Milan Credle]
I'm here in oblivion/
Hiroshima came and got me/
Nagasaki came and I fell again/
My mental distorted my balance is off and I'm feeling oblivious/
My bruvas beside me they walking right next to me/
Armed and we strapped to win/
War ready cuz we His yeahh/
Me and CLG we get it/
Pulling 18227's/
Freethinkers same mission/
Count It Loss in the same picture/
Life
Problems fall like rain/
Life Be bringing the pain/
Rivers of evils, trapped in shame/
Storms insane/
Bruva where you at?!/
We Outchere/
Same wit the vision/
Came wit the mission/
Now my brothers here/
Ain't tripping, wit me in trenches never missing/
Always got my back/
Whenever that we down, let me mention/
They ride, I die, they die, I ride, you know/
All we need is Jesus homes/
A life for life, Sacrifice, We back to back, We came to fight/
From small to tall, from big to little, from weak to strong/
We bearing arms, in Vietnam, we live wit hope, we can't be wrong/
[Verse 3: Humble Tip]
We in the trenches like shovels, backtoback
We get in scuffles/
You got my back if we get in trouble/
I don’t mean to make it weird but I love you/
If we going through, then I’m going through/
I gotchu dawg and you know it’s true/
Everyone’s life is a picture, and I’ll pose with you/
This friendship it ain’t razzledazzle
And if you wrong then I gotta blast you/
Sometimes you nuts, you had a cashew; but I’m always with you right in the battle/
Let’s go to war! I’ma all swordout
Prayedup;
Let’s go to war! Our enemies getting slayedup/
Move it slim, we mobilize, this friendship, it’s supposed to thrive/
Let’s take the message don’t localize, we socializin, then globalize/
This is what it means to be a friend, this is friendship/
This is what it mean to be a friend, we in them trenches!/
