Kam - Trust Nobody Lyrics
[ VERSE 1: KAM ]People make the world go aroundThey ask me what's up, I tell em what's goin downTalk to me real if you feel you got a point to pushThen trick, make it quick, don't beat around the bushI know we all lookin out for number oneThat's why brothers sell dope and girls get they nails doneTryin to get the same thing everybody else gotIf you a big name oh they'll be runnin game like snotSo I keep my guard up and I read between the linesIf we kick it long enough I can see the signsIf your motives is righteous or wickedDo you want the knowledge or do you see me as a free meal ticket?I keep my eyes open and my mouth closedIn a world full of white men, niggas and hoesEverybody want somethin from you, but ain't nothin freeI do for people, but what can people do for me?Except lock me down or sell me outBut anyway, what you say you had to tell me bout?Yeah, all that talk sounds goodBut rule number one when you come from the hoodIs: don't trust nobody[ CHORUS ]No one's gonna trust youSo don't you trust nobody[ VERSE 2: KAM ]I came into this world aloneAin't no doubt that's how I'm goin out, so let me get my live onTop of that I'm black in this white man's worldBelieve me, they don't care if your hair is jherri curledEspecially for a maleThey can't kill me, they wanna put me under the jailYou know my record's clean cause you just checkedBut to them I'm just another 'male negro suspect'A threat to the powers that beYou got sweet talk for my sister, but it sours at meCause you see the black man as a rivalBut this is anybody killer and it's all about survivalSo go for what you know from your country hick collegeThis is '94 and I'm up on your trick knowledgeWatchin devils like a hawkExcuse me, mister, why do white men whisper when they talk?Because that's a man snake hidin in that handshakeWho won't hesitate to lie, cheat and takeI know you think they act niceBut you be wise and just take this adviceAnd don't trust nobody[ CHORUS ][ VERSE 3: KAM ]Ain't no shame in my game, I got a lot to learnBut I'm learnin trust is somethin you got to earnYou might be able to rap or make the fans mobBut never send a boy out to do a man's jobCause you really couldn't handle itYou be at they memorial tryin to keep a candle litThough they was fit, it don't matter if you muscle-boundOut here it's all about who can put they hustle downSo I kick it with the O.G.'sThey say experience cost as we floss on the gold D'sYou gotta work for your milk and honeySecond rule in the hood: all money ain't good moneyDon't get excited and don't be emotionalNever run your mouth in front of none of them hoes you knowBro, because fools and they money soon partYou might know they name but you never know they heartIt's a cold game, but somebody gotta play itYou probably wouldn't know if I didn't say itSo all it really boils down to is respectJust like the tat on his neck, it said 'trust nobody'
