Nas - Trust lyrics

It's like a cold story repeated over and over
In the winters of my mind, yeah
This shit be real, man shit's crazy out here
Yo yo, yo what up y'all?
That's my niggas over there, word

If you scared to take chances
You'll never have the answers
I could tell the future of a
Dude how his stance is
Wonder will he shoot then you should
Study where his hands is
Is he gon' cock it and
Pop it? His waistband big
But he don't have that thing in him
Slangin just ain't in him
Body language is off, he's soft
But soft niggas all a sudden start dumpin'
Frontin' 'Cause he feel a way: my niggas
Say the eyes is a giveaway
One look could tell me if you
Really came to kill me
Be the quiet nigga lookin'
Lame with the milli
Who that over there creepin'? Who
Homie by the tree?
Better safe than sorry, look at p noid me
Few machine guns close
We could squeeze all three
Be a cold day in hell 'fore they creep on me
It’s a lesson every premonition
Lot of niggas killed 'cause
They wasn't payin' attention, listen

I want a bitch I can trust
Some niggas I can trust
Accountants lookin' over my figures
I can trust a lawyer that's fightin' for my
Decisions I can trust
Damn my nigga, trust, I can never get enough
Or Rugers I can trust, shooters I can trust
Goons that know how to spot out
A Judas I can trust
And if I can't trust you
The fuck is you here for?
Some of you niggas' true
Colors becomin' clear more

It's been so long
Can’t remember how we begun this war
This is a ever lasting thunderstorm
'cause guns went off
I see your moms, she still speak
She don't know I ain't cool
With her son no more it’s old shit
See forever we holdin' this grudge
Takes real men to squash beef
End it with hugs
We buried our dead, been years
Why should I worry 'bout him?
Constantly watchin' my back
Plus niggas tellin' I dread
Another day I put a family in black
Though I be calm and relaxed
Though I know somehow it will come back
Even if I'm in the right
'cause still a life is a life
What was it worth to see you covered in dirt?
It’s quite redundant
Whether you the hunter or the hunted
Mothers cry
No statute of limitation on a homicide
Just tattoos of my niggas' names
I wonder, will it change? Let's ride

I want a bitch I can trust
Some niggas I can trust
Accountants lookin' over my figures
I can trust a lawyer that’s fightin' for my
Decisions I can trust
Damn my nigga, trust, I can never get enough
Or Rugers I can trust, shooters I can trust
Goons that know how to spot out
A Judas I can trust
And if I can't trust you
The fuck is you here for?
Some of you niggas' true
Colors becomin' clear more

It's rare I listen to niggas who
Never been in my position
A caterpillar can't relate to
What an eagle envisions
From the mind of a man who
Went at it with killers
Sit down, little man
Let me school you in hood business
Seen a lot of niggas blow
Lot of dreams folded
Some wasn't humble, ate too much, got bloated
Ain't too much left to buy
Bought it, I'm loaded, i guess
Lear jets
I ask myself: do I need love or success?
They say the artist that truly suffers
His stuff is the best
'Cause his heart bleed on his sleeve: pain
Pistols and sex
Remember spray paintin' the word "fresh"
And then starin' at it
Older folks angry, pointin', swearin' at it
Buildings I sprayed
Nowadays drive the McLaren past it
Same old man from years ago
Told me life is short
So from infant to geriatric
Trust your own judgment
Live with it and love it

I want a bitch I can trust
Some niggas I can trust
Accountants lookin' over my figures
I can trust a lawyer that's fightin' for my
Decisions I can trust
Damn my nigga, trust, I can never get enough
Or Rugers I can trust, shooters I can trust
Goons that know how to spot out
A Judas I can trust
And if I can't trust you
The fuck is you here for?
Some of you niggas' true
Colors becomin' clear more
