Young nigga had no deal, street skills
Big pistols, young nigga so real
That the whole hood known, put the whole city on his back
And he never took a soul
Never truned his back, let's get it

I guess me and you 'posed to be beefin' now
(I swear I never tell another soul)
I'll bust ya head when the time is right
(I swear I never tell another soul)
I know a nigga that's doin' life
All because his co-d had four
All his hoe cars and the keys that he sold, that fuck nigga told
His old boy was a Dboy, but he act like a CI
Takin' notes like a PI, carried on like a peon
When you see the fuck nigga holler "FBI"
I've seen him on first 48, said he had everything on tape
And he the nigga with the gun with the drum
In his hands hold and fuck nigga turned state
That nigga, that 5-0, told somethin' 'bout a nigga that put him on on death row
These niggas too cutthroat, and it's you new niggas got the game all fucked up

I swear I never tell another soul
Swear I never tell another soul

Swear I never tell another soul
I swear I never tell another soul
Swear I never tell another soul

Nigga, we was quick to bust, yeah
I swear I never tell another soul, yeah

I swear I never tell another soul
Swear I never tell another soul




I swear I never tell another soul
Swear I never tell another soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DJ Khaled feat. Future Yo Gotti & Trick Daddy's song I Swear I Never Tell Another Soul convey an intense need for secrecy and loyalty. The repetition of the phrase "Swear I never tell another soul" emphasizes just how important it is to keep certain things between oneself and others. The song also deals with the dangers of betrayal, with lines about someone getting "busted" because a "fuck nigga told" and someone else seeing "him on first 48."


The song's use of violence and criminal behavior, such as the mention of "choppin' a whole hunnid" and "kickin' in the door," suggest a world where trust and secrecy are essential for survival. At the same time, it can be seen as an appeal for the listener to adhere to these values and to stay true to their word. Ultimately, the song is a warning against snitches, traitors, and all those who fail to keep silent when it matters most.
