Trust Me
Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ear to the beat I let the music speak to me
Hear it from me I let the music speak through me
Ear to the beat I let these lyrics reach to me
Ear to the beat
Ear to the beat
Ya hear it from me
Ear to the beat I let the music speak to me
Hear it from me I let the music speak through me
Ear to the beat I let these lyrics reach to me
Ear to the beat
Ear to the beat
Ya hear it from me

And I wish she could be
Somewhere in the spot
Right where we splittin' the fee
But, baby got a job
And that ain't sittin' with me
Spittin' writtens to beats
Felt like good riddance to me
Ah damn
But it's all good, it's all good
She did what we all should
The difference we all shook
Yea
We scared to make decisions
That break tradition
But do you want the Baker act
Or will you stay with wisdom?

I know I fucked up
I know I was dumb

Ear to the beat I let the music speak to me
Hear it from me I let the music speak through me
Ear to the beat I let these lyrics reach to me
Ear to the beat
Ear to the beat
Ya hear it from me
Ear to the beat I let the music speak to me
Hear it from me I let the music speak through me
Ear to the beat I let these lyrics reach to me
Ear to the beat
Ear to the beat
Ya hear it from me

How the fuck we get so lazy?
Give in to desire
And you wind up with a baby
Now you wake tired
Next thing you eighty and you crazy
They try to take your spirit
And you abetting and you aiding
You a veteran and you aching
All those promise they was making
Now you start to see they was fakin'
Namaste we the same, man
I love you even if I'm mistaken
Misunderstood or just vain
Your tears mistook for just rain
Show mercy
Even if that's not how we was taught
Show mercy
Like it's a Lambo that you just bought
But leave it with a lot
The evil ill will stop
Needless killin' drop
What we eatin' need a crop
Even pay
Antecedent lead the day
Ant-depressant easy to say
'Cuz none of these doctors see the way
Some of these philosophers seem astray
Oh they must not have told you
The same shit they sold you
Be the same shit they owed you

I know I f***** up

The same sh** they sold you
Be the same sh** they owed
Oh
They must not have told you

Ear to the beat I let the music speak to me
Hear it from me I let the music speak through me
Ear to the beat I let these lyrics reach to me
Ear to the beat
Ear to the beat
Ya hear it from me
Ear to the beat I let the music speak to me
Hear it from me I let the music speak through me
Ear to the beat I let these lyrics reach to me
Ear to the beat
Ear to the beat
Ya hear it from me

I know I f***** up
I know I was dumb
I know I f***** up
I know I was dumb

What can I do?
Make you trust me
What can I do?
Make you love me

Can I make you love me?
Can I make you trust me?
Can I make you trust me?
Can I make you trust me?

Love, Trust
Can I make you trust me?
Love, trust
Love, trust




Trust
Love
