NO TRUST

 

Owen B.

 

[Intro]

Yeah...

I gave my heart away, now it's cold enough to freeze.

Every promise turned to smoke in the wind...

 

[Hook]

I don't got no trust, I just carry all this pain.

Smiles turn fake when they see a little fame.

Had my back against the wall through the thunder and the rain,

Now they call my phone but it never sound the same.

I don't got no trust, every scar done left a name.

Love disappeared, now my heart don't play the game.

If I fall tonight, hope they never wear my chain,

'Cause loyalty worth more than diamonds anyway.

 

[Verse 1]

Walking through the city with my hoodie to the sky,

Mama asking questions, I just tell another lie.

Trying to stay alive while my demons multiply,

Every loss another reason I don't even wonder why.

 

Bro said forever but forever came and went,

Everybody switched the second money got involved.

I was building bridges while they burned 'em for a check,

Now I move in silence, let the actions do the talk.

 

Late nights, cold roads, tears on the dashboard,

Dreams getting bigger but my circle getting smaller.

I was chasing peace while the world wanted war,

Now I'm praying every blessing hit my family a little harder.

 

[Bridge]

If tomorrow never comes,

Tell my people I was trying.

Every smile hid a storm,

Every "I'm okay" was lying.

 

[Hook]

I don't got no trust, I just carry all this pain.

Smiles turn fake when they see a little fame.

Had my back against the wall through the thunder and the rain,

Now they call my phone but it never sound the same.

I don't got no trust, every scar done left a name.

Love disappeared, now my heart don't play the game.

If I fall tonight, hope they never wear my chain,

'Cause loyalty worth more than diamonds anyway.

 

[Verse 2]

Heart full of memories I wish I could erase,

Running from the past but it matching every pace.

Seen the closest people change right in my face,

Now I thank God every morning for another day of grace.

 

Can't buy peace with a pocket full of blue,

Can't replace real love with somebody new.

If you're riding for me, then I'm riding for you,

But I learned everybody ain't as solid as they prove.

 

Still I keep my head high even when it rains,

Every lesson left another tattoo on my brain.

One day they'll remember how I carried all this weight,

Till then I'm moving forward, never looking back again.

 

[Final Hook / Outro]

I don't got no trust, but I still believe in hope.

Trying not to drown while I'm barely staying afloat.

If the night gets dark, I'll keep chasing morning glow,

Lost a lot of people, found the strength to stand alone.

No trust... no trust...

I'm still standing on my own.

No trust... no trust...

One day this pain'll lead me home.
