The Only One I Trust lyrics

[Intro]
It's a ghetto fairytale
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
It was two weeks before my son's birthday
The D.T's ringing my bell
(Ma'am, we need to ask a few questions)
They told me the raid would go down any day
And if I was smart I wouldn't tell (No, no, no)
It was all over him, y'all
My boyfriend, the criminal
He was caught up in the game
And the FBI warned if I didn't go along
They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again

[Pre-Chorus]
(Remember this, you are a convicted felon on probation)
But how could I just turn him in?
(Ma'am, if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me)
He would always tell me

[Chorus]
I know you're afraid
But you can't leave me now
(Don't leave, baby)
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
I'm tryna build our future
I'm doing this for us
You're the only one I love
The only one I trust
[Verse 2]
I've been with him for about four years and I swear
He gave me anything that I could dream (Anything)
But the life that he lived was a nightmare, I swear
Wasn't clean, he was blinded by the cream
All the murderous capers, the trips to Las Vegas
Making millions from paper blood-stained (Blood-stained money)
Stuck in my head like a song, I saw every sin, I knew every wrong
And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again

[Pre-Chorus]
No, no, no, hmm, hmm-hmm
(So what's it gonna be?)
(Hey, hey, hey) (I know my rights)
(One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.)
(Whatever)
(Answer the question)
(I don't have to answer sh*t)
He would always tell me (Tell me, yeah)

[Chorus]
I know you're afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
(Soon it'll be over)
I'm tryna build our future
I'm doing this for us
You're the only one I love (Love)
The only one I trust
[Bridge]
It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV
He looked in my eyes, I wanted to cry (Oh)
My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight
How could I do this, play Judas when I knew he would die?
Feds rushed the door, yelled, "Everyone on the floor"
My man pulled his .9 and started to fire
He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win
But without him I'm lost
So I stood by his side and went down with him
Oh
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
Ooh-oh
He would always tell me

[Chorus]
I know you're afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
I'm tryna build our future
I'm doing this for us
You're the only one I love
The only one I trust
I know you're afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
I'm tryna build our future
I'm doing this for us
You're the only one I love
The only one I trust
[Outro]
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
