trust

I've been betrayed, so many times Now I find it hard to trust, gotta read between the lines People smiling in my face, but they talking behind my back I keep my circle small, ain't no room for no rats I used to be naive, believed in every word But now I see the truth, it's like a curse I gotta watch my back, gotta stay on my grind Can't let nobody take me down, gotta keep my peace of mind Trust is a luxury, can't afford to lose it Gotta stay cautious, can't let nobody abuse it I keep my distance, can't let nobody in I'll be damned if I let history repeat again I gotta stay strong, gotta hold my ground Can't let nobody bring me down I'll keep my guard up, won't let nobody in Trust is something you gotta earn, it's not a given
