The Only One I Trust

Lyrics

[Intro] It's a ghetto fairytale (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) [Verse 1] It was two weeks before my son's birthday The D.T's ringing my bell (Ma'am, we need to ask a few questions) They told me the raid would go down any day And if I was smart I wouldn't tell (No, no, no) It was all over him, y'all My boyfriend, the criminal He was caught up in the game And the FBI warned if I didn't go along They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again [Pre-Chorus] (Remember this, you are a convicted felon on probation) But how could I just turn him in? (Ma'am, if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me) He would always tell me [Chorus] I know you're afraid But you can't leave me now (Don't leave, baby) Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over I'm tryna build our future I'm doing this for us You're the only one I love The only one I trust [Verse 2] I've been with him for about four years and I swear He gave me anything that I could dream (Anything) But the life that he lived was a nightmare, I swear Wasn't clean, he was blinded by the cream All the murderous capers, the trips to Las Vegas Making millions from paper blood-stained (Blood-stained money) Stuck in my head like a song, I saw every sin, I knew every wrong And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again [Pre-Chorus] No, no, no, hmm, hmm-hmm (So what's it gonna be?) (Hey, hey, hey) (I know my rights) (One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.) (Whatever) (Answer the question) (I don't have to answer shit) He would always tell me (Tell me, yeah) [Chorus] I know you're afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over (Soon it'll be over) I'm tryna build our future I'm doing this for us You're the only one I love (Love) The only one I trust [Bridge] It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV He looked in my eyes, I wanted to cry (Oh) My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight How could I do this, play Judas when I knew he would die? Feds rushed the door, yelled, "Everyone on the floor" My man pulled his .9 and started to fire He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win But without him I'm lost So I stood by his side and went down with him Oh No, no, no, no No, no, no, no Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh Ooh-oh He would always tell me [Chorus] I know you're afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over I'm tryna build our future I'm doing this for us You're the only one I love The only one I trust I know you're afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over I'm tryna build our future I'm doing this for us You're the only one I love The only one I trust [Outro] I'm sorry I'm so sorry
