Family T.R.U.S.T

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I guess, generosity sent a message I was one to test Invested trust in everyone but always cut the deck Been through enough to see a bluff when it's up ahead Step with trepidation, ever wary what be coming next? Too many sunsets were spent unsuspecting, resting Next thing, friends and enemies are intersecting Isn't it interesting, when those closest are the Ones training their focus, in hopes you won't notice Roaches, blowing smoke to cover their approaches Full of compliments and confidence until the cellar closes Clever prose will let 'em scope progressive inroads And look past pain like a window Possessions or emotion, whatever's available can be taken Then everything you cherish is threatened like a home invasion Play it close to your chest or get totally sketched The first impression is enough [Chorus] This trust I got big for my people Show love for the family, TRUST in my family TRUST, we got it down to a T now What exactly R U? Never underestimate the value of a team that respect you Big for my people Show love for the family, TRUST in my family TRUST, we got it down to a T now What exactly R U? Never underestimate the worth of a team that's down for you [Verse 2] This family trust, it isn't financial It's who got you in times of crisis when you tethered in life's shackles I been damn near trampled alive If it hadn't been for the fam, I doubt this man would survive I see crooked characters thrive on the plans of the wise The sweat of the poor, the work of the people, a curse of the times We all wanna be the dreamer with integrity but dismiss it subliminally They got us undergoing microscopic​ surgery, implanted with robotic circuitry To make our appearance more appealing commercially Sinister motivation lurk in these mercenaries Invested in the worth of what's embedded in a person's dreams And nothing burden me quite like uncertainty Believe I'ma believe at least a little of its urgency But urging me to keep feet on the ground That sweet little sound of peeps who are down in the clutch [Chorus] This trust I got big for my people Show love for the family, TRUST in my family TRUST, we got it down to a T now What exactly R U? Never underestimate the value of a team that respect you Big for my people Show love for the family, TRUST in my family TRUST, we got it down to a T now What exactly R U? Never underestimate the worth of a team that's down for you [Verse 3] When we get it, take it for granted, if we don't we living backwards Stuck with nowhere to go and losing traction Lost in this metropolis of human interaction Some are there to give directions, others out to take advantage Along the way we surely trip, trying not to look hurt As yet another crook emerges from the woodwork From good books to what's the good word, it's misleading We misuse the misinformation we're misreading Gimme trust
