Trust nobody, Trust nobody, straight up.
My closest friends did me in.
My closest friends, my homies, people who I done took care of they whole family
I done took care of everything for 'em
Looked out for 'em
Put 'em in the game, everything.
Turned on me.
Fear is stronger than love.
Remember that.
I can't trust you, so I gotta trust myself
I feel like Michael Corleone man who can I trust
They was lusting for my crown while they faked all they love
Bullets hit me, it was family that loaded the gun
Tried to cry for help, my deputy cut out my tongue
They was mean mugging once the paper started flooding
All they pennies rubbing, so they picked my grave and dug it
Now they neck full of my jewelry like a pirate's bucket
My obituary reads the one who over-trusted
How could I trust in this ruthless world
Where men are quick to keep they secrets but they never they word
Women smile to get your wallet, then dollars get splurged
You ball out on them then they kick you to the curb, uh
L'amore è cieco, please don't fall for her eyes
Love can kill, cupid's arrow is a murder device
Ran low on true friends, paranoia was high
Opps plotted on my fall, it was all by design
Who can I trust, only myself
The more I stacked cheddar, the closer I got to death
I made a fortune by putting my heart on sale
I climbed my way up to heaven, and it turned to hell, damn
Who can I trust, only myself
My grave full of red roses and bitter regrets
To want my better for my seed is my only request
If I could tell my son one thing, this is my behest, trust no one
I feel Tupac Shakur, man who can I trust
Niggas grabbed the gat the minute that they dapped me up
Women tossed the rubber when I tried to wrap it up
Niggas leaked a frown anytime they clap it up
My success was the fuel for my demise
Progress the greatest stimulator for a jealous mind
I crossed a line to help my brother, same guy wore a wire
It's foul how he somehow blew the whistle over time
How could I trust in this wicked world
Where brothers drown you in the ocean just to seize your pearls
Niggas drive off in your lamb they fortunes reverse
Then drop tears of jubilation on pews of church
Thanking God for the product of their sins
I wish I had a crystal ball, to show the Brutus's within my mix
If I saw this from beginning, I would not have seen my end
So I say this from my coffin as a tribe of gone and dead, trust is poison
Who can I trust, only myself
The more I stacked cheddar, the closer I got to death
I made a fortune by putting my heart on sale
I climbed my way up to heaven, and it turned to hell, damn
Who can I trust, only myself
My grave full of red roses and bitter regrets
To want my better for my seed is my only request
If I could tell my son one thing, this is my behest, trust no one
Trust often takes more than it gives
And people keep breaking it, so it can leave you in a broken place
The pain of betrayal, the shadow of paranoia.
You can't just trust anybody, but you gotta trust somebody right
There's gotta be more to this life than just me
I mean if not, what does this all really mean?
