Shyste
II Tru Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Hook: Jhaz]
Shyste niggas be tryin' to fade me
Nope, I don't

[Brina]
Niggas be tryin' to test us
Don't want to see this here showdown
Shyste niggas be trying to fade me

[Jhaz]
Shyste niggas be tryin' to fade me
Nope I don't
And with this bullshit I cannot cope
You played me once too many times, and it's over with
Dumb trick shit, I can't stand a shyste bitch
But anyway, let's take this into deeper visions
A nigga quick to play ya, is shyste's definition
Better watch your back, 'cause shyste ones have many faces
Buck quick shyste bitch ain't go no love for them aces
And a nigga bring it on 'cause I got plenty of bangin'
That's the cut to (pay me back up), so you knows I don't give a fuck
But, shit, as sista' down for whatever
But shystiness just gets to me - a fuckin' mental terror
Clearer are my visions, shyste ones I see right through you
On my Ps and Qs, plus I'm immune to your voodoo
Fool, you cannot handle me, tell me how did you figure?
Straight from the Clair, in here with Cliffview, on the topic of shyste niggas

[Brina]
Shyste nigga you figured you could fade me
Cluckas that try to test underestimate a thorough lady up in this game
'Cause I done struggled in these streets
Done had too many chumps going against the grain
Tryin' to compete, playa hate in my hood, runnin' they mouth like bitches
All these smiling faces that's doubtin' the camp
Well, figures, want to be obstacles
But couldn't stop us, from hittin' them levels
Shyste fools gon' dis you, no matter if you do better, I'm a go-getter
Don't let no bustas stop no show
Sista gon' do her thang, gon' run game, and stack some dough
Pack the chrome pump, sister strapped at all times
Ain't no gangsta comin' off shady gon' make me handle mine

(Hook)

[Jhaz]
Now check this nigga with a mouthpiece, undercover shyste bitch
Although you claim to be down
I find you only stick and dig trick with game
But eventually, all become recognized
Eighty-six a bitch who a shyste one, best break up all ties
Got no remorse, breakin' 'em off, puttin' an end to all this
You see my mind begins to click
When a shyste one's in my presence
Insane, I think not, as a matter of fact I got much that's on that other level
I done peeped all of your shystiness come to mentals
The cards on the table, your hands be ? as you envision the game
But bitch you fucked with them pros
I got my nina, Brina hollerin', so you know I got my gauge
Caught up in the game so it ain't shit for a sista to flip anyway
I'm steady ? blastin' ass
Come on over with your crew
Got clips for days, and I'm high ?
Sistas don't give a fuck about you
So bring whatever, clever you think your plan may be
My mentals way too tight, and I hate a nigga that's shyste

(Hook)

[Brina]
Tryin' to fade a sista, they got hard-game, playa
You must didn't catch the ? then think back to verse one
Son, 'cause all games ain't the same when ya
Tryin' to run up in a nigga for digital figures
Thinkin' you gettin' (over unnoticed, undercover gold-digger)
Shyste moves prove your hands can't be trusted for nothin'
So let's stop frontin', ? this ain't for blood
'Cause we start ? turn in your ho-cards, since damage is done
Best believe they don't how to, son, better off on the run them ho-cards
I don't deal, when shakin' your hand is a must
Fool, tryin' to play games with this pay, to get paid you'll get schooled
On the real, chill them shyste-type skills before me come thrashin'
Too late to be askin' for the second chance
'Gon see the life flashin' for being shyste
Gettin' a little too pricey to stay calm
'Cause you should've left thangs hang the way they was, but you chose not to
So I gots to pull back my trigger finger
Because me really don't give a fuck about a shyste nigga





(Hook)

Overall Meaning

II Tru's song Shyste is a fearless declaration against unscrupulous people who are trying to take advantage of the singers Jhaz and Brina. The duo warns these individuals that they won't allow themselves to be played for fools, especially by those who claim to be down with them but exhibit shyste behavior. Being down for whatever is a positive trait in this song, but shystiness is not. Shyste is explicitly defined in the lyrics as quick to play someone and not having any love. Shystiness is compared to mental terror and voodoo, implying a harmful force. II Tru is prepared to fight against shyste individuals with heavy weapons and clips for days, showing that they are not intimidated by potential danger.

Shyste niggas be tryin' to fade me
People who are untrustworthy and deceitful are trying to harm me


Nope, I don't
I am not intimidated by these people


Niggas be tryin' to test us
People are trying to challenge us


Don't want to see this here showdown
We do not want to engage in a confrontation


And with this bullshit I cannot cope
I cannot handle these lies and drama


You played me once too many times, and it's over with
You have disrespected me too many times and I am done with you


Dumb trick shit, I can't stand a shyste bitch
I despise untrustworthy people who are always trying to take advantage


But anyway, let's take this into deeper visions
Let's analyze this situation more carefully


A nigga quick to play ya, is shyste's definition
Someone who is always trying to outsmart and harm you is the epitome of untrustworthiness


Better watch your back, 'cause shyste ones have many faces
Be cautious because untrustworthy people often have multiple facades


Buck quick shyste bitch ain't go no love for them aces
Untrustworthy people have no loyalty or respect for anyone


And a nigga bring it on 'cause I got plenty of bangin'
If someone wants to start a problem, I am more than willing to fight back


That's the cut to (pay me back up), so you knows I don't give a fuck
I don't care about the consequences, I will retaliate if necessary


But, shit, as sista' down for whatever
I am always ready to handle whatever comes my way


But shystiness just gets to me - a fuckin' mental terror
Untrustworthiness and trickery causes me intense emotional distress


Clearer are my visions, shyste ones I see right through you
I am keenly aware of untrustworthy people's intentions and can see through their facade


On my Ps and Qs, plus I'm immune to your voodoo
I am vigilant and aware of potential harm and am not affected by their deceitful tactics


Fool, you cannot handle me, tell me how did you figure?
You are incapable of withstanding me, how did you think you could harm me?


Straight from the Clair, in here with Cliffview, on the topic of shyste niggas
We are from the streets and have experience dealing with untrustworthy people


Shyste nigga you figured you could fade me
You thought you could harm me, but you were wrong


Cluckas that try to test underestimate a thorough lady up in this game
Those who challenge me are underestimating a strong woman who knows how to play the game


'Cause I done struggled in these streets
I have faced many challenges and difficulties in my life


Done had too many chumps going against the grain
I have dealt with many people who have gone against me


Tryin' to compete, playa hate in my hood, runnin' they mouth like bitches
People in my community are trying to compete with me and spreading rumors


All these smiling faces that's doubtin' the camp
People are showing fake support but actually doubting us


Well, figures, want to be obstacles
They want to stand in the way of our success


But couldn't stop us, from hittin' them levels
Despite their efforts, we were able to rise above their obstacles and succeed


Shyste fools gon' dis you, no matter if you do better, I'm a go-getter
Untrustworthy people will always try to bring you down, but I am determined to succeed


Don't let no bustas stop no show
Don't let haters and untrustworthy people hinder your progress


Sista gon' do her thang, gon' run game, and stack some dough
I am going to do what I need to do to make money and succeed


Pack the chrome pump, sister strapped at all times
I am always carrying a gun for protection


Ain't no gangsta comin' off shady gon' make me handle mine
No one is going to harm me or my business


Now check this nigga with a mouthpiece, undercover shyste bitch
This person talks a lot and seems friendly but is actually deceitful and untrustworthy


Although you claim to be down
Even though you claim to be loyal


I find you only stick and dig trick with game
I see that you are only interested in fooling and manipulating others


But eventually, all become recognized
Eventually, everyone will see through your deceitful tactics


Eighty-six a bitch who a shyste one, best break up all ties
Cut off all ties with untrustworthy people


Got no remorse, breakin' 'em off, puttin' an end to all this
I have no guilt about cutting off untrustworthy people


You see my mind begins to click
I begin to think critically


When a shyste one's in my presence
When I am around an untrustworthy person


Insane, I think not, as a matter of fact I got much that's on that other level
I am not crazy, I am actually very smart and strategic


I done peeped all of your shystiness come to mentals
I have noticed all of your untrustworthy behavior


The cards on the table, your hands be ? as you envision the game
I have exposed your deceitful tactics and now you are left with nothing


But bitch you fucked with them pros
You messed with experienced and intelligent people


I got my nina, Brina hollerin', so you know I got my gauge
I am well-armed and ready to defend myself if necessary


Caught up in the game so it ain't shit for a sista to flip anyway
I am experienced in this game and can easily adapt to new situations


I'm steady ? blastin' ass
I am always prepared to retaliate if necessary


Come on over with your crew
Bring your friends and associates


Got clips for days, and I'm high ?
I have a lot of ammunition and I am not afraid to use it


Sistas don't give a fuck about you
I do not care about you or your well-being


So bring whatever, clever you think your plan may be
Bring your best plan and strategy


My mentals way too tight, and I hate a nigga that's shyste
I am too smart and experienced to be fooled by untrustworthy people


Tryin' to fade a sista, they got hard-game, playa
Trying to harm me is a difficult task


You must didn't catch the ? then think back to verse one
If you didn't understand before, go back and listen carefully to the first verse


Son, 'cause all games ain't the same when ya
Not all situations are the same


Tryin' to run up in a nigga for digital figures
Trying to steal digital money


Thinkin' you gettin' (over unnoticed, undercover gold-digger)
Thinking you can fool me and take my money


Shyste moves prove your hands can't be trusted for nothin'
Untrustworthy behavior proves that you cannot be trusted


So let's stop frontin', ? this ain't for blood
Let's stop acting and pretending, this is not a life or death situation


'Cause we start ? turn in your ho-cards, since damage is done
The harm has already been done and you can no longer be trusted


Best believe they don't how to, son, better off on the run them ho-cards
If someone has shown untrustworthy behavior, it is best to cut ties with them


I don't deal, when shakin' your hand is a must
I will not pretend to be friendly with an untrustworthy person


Fool, tryin' to play games with this pay, to get paid you'll get schooled
Trying to mess with my money will result in negative consequences for you


On the real, chill them shyste-type skills before me come thrashin'
Stop being untrustworthy before I retaliate


Too late to be askin' for the second chance
It is too late to seek forgiveness or try to come back


'Gon see the life flashin' for being shyste
You will face negative consequences for being untrustworthy


Gettin' a little too pricey to stay calm
The situation is escalating and it is difficult to remain calm


'Cause you should've left thangs hang the way they was, but you chose not to
You had the opportunity to leave things alone, but you decided to continue being deceitful


So I gots to pull back my trigger finger
I have to protect myself from your deceitful behavior


Because me really don't give a fuck about a shyste nigga
I do not care about untrustworthy people and their intentions
