Broken Trust

[Intro]

Yeah…

Same block, different intentions

Same smiles, hidden agendas

Uh

[Hook]

Broken trust, fake love in they embrace

Grew up side by side, now I see the hate

Same ones yelling “family” switch for a plate

Broken trust cut deep, that’s a permanent pain

Broken trust, had my back till I turned around

Smiles in my face, knives when I’m not around

Loyalty rare, that’s a lost-and-found

Broken trust echo loud when the real ones down

[Verse 1]

We shared dreams on the same cracked steps

Now they sharing rumors like they paying rent

Ain’t no warning sign when envy disguise

As jokes, handshakes, and brotherly ties

I fed you when I barely ate

You knew my struggle, still chose hate

Funny how success change the air

Same dudes laughing, now they stare

I was ten toes when the ground was shaky

You folded quick when the pressure got heavy

Said “forever” like it was law

But loyalty left when opportunity called

[Hook]

Broken trust, fake love in they embrace

Grew up side by side, now I see the hate

Same ones yelling “family” switch for a plate

Broken trust cut deep, that’s a permanent pain

Broken trust, had my back till I turned around

Smiles in my face, knives when I’m not around

Loyalty rare, that’s a lost-and-found

Broken trust echo loud when the real ones down

[Verse 2]

I watched you change with the crowd you chased

New tone in your voice, new mask on your face

You knew my fears, still used ’em as ammo

That’s cold-blooded, that’s beyond scandal

We was starving together, dreaming big

Soon as I got a chance, you counted my wins

Asked for help, I didn’t hesitate

But when I needed you, it was always “wait”

That betrayal hit worse than an enemy

At least foes don’t pretend they friends with me

Trust ain’t broken, it shattered

Now every promise sound scripted, rehearsed, and padded

[Bridge]

I don’t hate you, I just see clear

Lost respect hurt more than fear

I carry scars I don’t explain

Just lessons learned from people I named

[Verse 3]

Now my circle small, but it’s solid steel

No fake love, everything real

I move quiet, let actions talk

Too many snakes learned how to walk

I don’t overshare, I protect my plans

Seen too many switch with the wave of the sands

If you wasn’t there when I had nothing

Don’t show love now, that don’t mean nothing

Broken trust taught me how to stand alone

How to guard my heart, how to build my own

I still wish you peace, but from a distance

Some bridges burn for a real good reason

[Hook]

Broken trust, fake love in they embrace

Grew up side by side, now I see the hate

Same ones yelling “family” switch for a plate

Broken trust cut deep, that’s a permanent pain

Broken trust, had my back till I turned around

Smiles in my face, knives when I’m not around

Loyalty rare, that’s a lost-and-found

Broken trust echo loud when the real ones down

[Outro]

Yeah…

Same roots, different paths

Just ’cause we grew up together

Don’t mean we grow the same.
