about

this is a typical song about rapper paranoia.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
don't trust horoscopes, don't trust haters
don't trust expensive suits, perms, and gators

look a little skeptically
at niggas saying they ain't holding weaponry
cuz they probably do it professionally

met so many hoes over these long years
not worth the tears or the beers

man, I had a fear of this rap shit
niggas said i was talented
fucking up in school cuz I ain't know how to balance it

and I ain't no activist
I'm just another black face saddled with intelligence
being chased by avarice

true, I battle it
but daily, I stoop lower
I guess I'm losing
and my mood colder

see, I wanna take trips when I wanna take trips
spend a couple Gs and not worry bout shit

and never be alone when I wanna be surrounded
and, be alone when a nigga's feeling crowded

man, driving round worried bout the transmission
cain't be the limit to these glamorous intentions

see I need some cheese, but first I need to milk
the whole game, and I'm built, check the frame

(Chorus)
we need trust
if there's gonna be anything for us to discuss
trust is a must

the quest to overtake the minuses with a plus
we need trust


(Verse 2)
don't trust a nigga telling you to not trust
and don't trust facts that you're scared to discuss

niggas got your number, they hanging on your line
callin', ain't saying nothing, and playing with your mind

my eyes got baggage, my pants legs tattered
my psyche's been battered but my nike ain't shattered

it's funny the futility and necessity of planning
keeps everything in motion on the planet

see I could draw a map from point A to point B
but until I hit the road, there's no assurance what I'll see

I thought about marriage, I thought carriages
gave it my all and resurfaced with embarrassments

niggas saw me slipping but ain't show me no signs
used to getting what they want, and demanding my time

I should skip town and see who miss a nigga
who come out the woodwork to cold diss a nigga

they shit on my successes, shit on my failures
all I get is shit, I may as well plant seeds

in a few months see the crops grow tall
but nan one of yall niggas better ask for my greens

(Chorus)
we need trust
if there's gonna be anything for us to discuss
trust is a must

the quest to overtake the minuses with a plus
we need trust
