Trust No One
Urban Realities: Trust Issues and Street Wisdom in Paul Stephan's 'Trust No One'
Lyrics
Drive bys on bruck down peds,
Drive-by shootings on vulnerable pedestrians
Mandem getting ducked by feds,
Gang members evading capture by law enforcement
4 man tryna lick down a grow yard
Four individuals attempting to raid a marijuana plantation
All blacked out like Brooklyn nets
Dressed entirely in black, reminiscent of the Brooklyn Nets
Ima misfit like Ben 10
Identifying as an outsider like the character Ben 10
Da hoods gone peak it's ments
The neighborhood is becoming chaotic and mentally challenging
Round Ere u can't trust no1
Expressing a lack of trust in anyone around
Just friends just blammin friends x2 (hook)
Emphasizing the difficulty in distinguishing friends from foes
She don't want no Love, me either
Rejecting the idea of romantic love
Rather be friends than me mistreat her,
Preferencing a platonic relationship to avoid causing harm
I see a yout just running frm opps
Observing a young person fleeing from enemies
Better not stop, no time 4 a breather
Encouraging continuous movement without pausing
You can change paths not da consequence, Better face that don't be a diva
Conveying the idea that choices have consequences
What you sow is what u reap
Stating the principle of reaping what one sows
They all act tough til they meet a grim reaper
People act tough until facing death
If you trap dem buss your shots
If someone attacks, respond with gunfire
If your lidge then do your job
Do your criminal activities if you're involved
Hear what just stay in your lane
Stay in your own lane and mind your business
Don't be a beg, don't get lost
Don't be a beggar and avoid getting lost in troubles
Heard there's a motive tonight Let me make this bread and I may back it like Ross,
Anticipating a potentially dangerous situation and preparing for it
When ur nice on da mic like jadakiss
Being skilled on the microphone like Jadakiss
You can break doors desipite da lox
The ability to break through obstacles despite challenges
hungry can't let anyone starve man
Feeling a responsibility to prevent hunger in others
Have any opps on the ropes like Tarzan ,
Putting enemies in a difficult position, like Tarzan in control
In da streets I knew my place
Understanding one's place in the streets to avoid conflicts
Dats why man In my ends can't par man
Avoiding confrontations in one's own neighborhood
2 2 bros in da trap I live a different life
Living a distinct lifestyle, different from others
But when we link up we're still our gang,
Despite differences, remaining loyal to the gang
It's tough so we're paper chasing
Working hard to earn money, facing challenges
No1 done shit so we got it from our hands
Independently acquiring success without relying on others
Can't stand da hood need a breather
Feeling suffocated by the neighborhood and desiring a break
Think I need a quick trip to Antigua,
Contemplating a quick escape to Antigua for relief
Heard 2 shots str8 from a beater,
Hearing gunshots and responding with caution
If feds come str8 amnesia
If law enforcement arrives, act like memory loss
Can't tek no vio
Cannot tolerate violence
If they do im doing up seizure,
If faced with violence, experiencing seizures
This girl's loyalty is hard to measure,
Questioning the loyalty of a girl, difficult to gauge
It's da reason why I won't meet her
Avoiding a relationship due to uncertainty and potential betrayal
Hook!
Reiterating the theme of mistrust and uncertainty
