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?
