Betrayed
Lil' Boosie/Webbie Lyrics

Dear God
The artist is addressing God in prayer

I ask you to make my heart cold tonight
The artist is asking God to give him emotional detachment

From all strangers, all bustas, y'know what I'm talking about?
The artist wants to avoid insincere or disloyal people

Father God I've been betrayed ('cause I've been betrayed)
Acknowledgement that the artist has been betrayed

Feel like they beat me like a slave
The artist feels violated by the betrayal

How many niggas been betrayed out there tonight? (Plenty of times, nigga)
The artist wonders how many people have been in his situation

Nigga don't keep it real no more (put your middle finger up!)
People are not keeping it real anymore

After all the fucking shit we done been through, All the pussy niggas we done tend to, But it don't mean nothing when a nigga money low,
The artist has been through a lot with certain people, but their loyalty didn't last beyond his financial success

Nigga'll shoot you in the back and cut yo fucking throat like Rich and alpoe.
People can be so disloyal that they will kill you

Now it's hard for me to trust somebody, family need it they'll steal if they know you got it,
The artist is now having trust issues since even family will take advantage of his success

God forgive me I been hurt by a couple niggas
The artist has been hurt by a few people and needs divine forgiveness

That's why I wake up say my prayers and be like fuck a nigga,
The artist is no longer interested in being close to people and chooses to be independent

Bitches want riches so they trying to slide the rubber off trying to get pregnant
Women try to get pregnant on purpose to secure a financial future

When you stupid hoes gon' learn yo' lesson, man it seem like the mo' love you show a nigga,
Women need to learn that showing too much love can be a mistake since it leads to disappointment

When it fall off you be like damn did I know this nigga?
You can be close to someone and not truly know them until things go wrong

I'm glad I rap 'cause these days they testify, nigga ain't catch you wit nuthin' and he got 25, Just 'cause he say he gon' ride don't mean he loyal dawg, its Cain and Abel again forgive us father God
The artist is glad he is a rapper since people will testify in court even if there is no evidence. Just because someone says they will have your back, doesn't mean it's true

I been betrayed
The artist reiterates that he has been betrayed

They criticize me huh
The artist receives criticism

They talk about me bad
The artist is talked about negatively by others

Ain't nobody wanna sign me
No one wants to sign the artist to a record label

I had to show my ass
The artist had to prove himself

If I love you ain't no question I'd give my last
The artist would give everything for someone he loves

One day this heart gonna get me zipped up in a bodybag
The artist's loyalty could lead to his death

What about ya first love? Huh she played it cold didn't it?
The artist wonders if his experience with disloyalty extends to people's love relationships

Made a nigga shed a tear and she changed a nigga
The artist cried over a woman and it changed him

So we fuck 'em and dump'em, never trust'em or love'em
The artist no longer trusts or has faith in women

No need for friends, fuck friends, friends turn into bustas
The artist no longer has any interest in friends since they will ultimately betray him

Momma gonna tell ya when that nigga ain't right (momma know!)
The artist's mother can tell when people are not good for him

Momma know because she pray every night
The artist's mother receives guidance from her prayers

I done and wash my hands with all this pussy shit
The artist is done with people who are not authentic

Niggas be hating but boosie boo he hood rich
People hate on the artist despite his financial success

On top of that I'm a scorpio so I'm unforgivable
The artist is a scorpio and therefore has a strong, unforgiving personality

First time you fuck with me dog I let them killas go
The first time someone betrays the artist, he uses violence

I'm down and dirty 'cause a nigga heard me
The artist is willing to do whatever it takes since he has been betrayed before

Chief was supposed to be dead but I let him slide 'cause he ain't worthy
The artist let someone live even though they betrayed him

Feel like somebody burning candles on me
The artist feels as though people are looking to cause him harm

That's why that choppa and my Phantom and my house got all them cameras on it
The artist has cameras on his property for protection

Know I'm standing under the light
The artist knows he is in the spotlight

So I just try to do right
The artist tries to live a positive life

Ain't been in church, but I pray every night
The artist prays daily despite not being religious

It's like I used to didn't give a fuck
The artist used to not care about anything

But over the years I dun learned and I dun got out here And earned so much to live for
The artist has become more mature and has a lot to live for

My niggas tell me slow it down for real, you need to chill bruh
The artist's friends advise him to calm down and relax

Stay up on your grind, take your time, bring your kids up
The artist needs to focus on his career and take care of his family

My grandma told me look at you look what the streets done did to ya
The artist's grandmother reminds him of how much the street life has affected him

Alot of niggas done changed on me, I came up they switched up
People started to behave differently towards the artist when he became successful

My daughter almost died, man it all seem wrong
The artist's daughter's almost-death made him question the rightness of things

The only thing good is my dog came home
The artist's dog returning home has been the only positive in his life recently

My mind gone, my heart mad, my soul so pissed
The artist's mental, emotional, and spiritual states are in disarray

I think my niggas tried to rob me, that's some fucked up shit
The artist suspects his friends of attempting to rob him

Blowing killa when I ride, in my mirror when I ride by Can see some niggas doing a coward-ass drive-by Some of these pussies really think that they got nine lives
The artist is aware of people trying to harm him but they are not a threat to him

You might as well don't even bust back, this bitch a hunnid shots
It's not worthwhile for the artist to fight back with someone who has a hundred bullets

And we been getting it by the pound You know we blunted out Something fancy stunted it out, throwin' money out
The artist and his crew are making money and are having a good time
