Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ask you to make my heart cold tonight
From all strangers, all bustas, y'know what I'm talking about?
Father God I've been betrayed ('cause I've been betrayed)
Feel like they beat me like a slave
How many niggas been betrayed out there tonight? (Plenty of times, nigga)
Nigga don't keep it real no more (put your middle finger up!)
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,
Nigga'll shoot you in the back and cut yo fucking throat like Rich and alpoe.
Now it's hard for me to trust somebody, family need it they'll steal if they know you got it,
God forgive me I been hurt by a couple niggas
That's why I wake up say my prayers and be like fuck a nigga,
Bitches want riches so they trying to slide the rubber off trying to get pregnant
When you stupid hoes gon' learn yo' lesson, man it seem like the mo' love you show a nigga,
When it fall off you be like damn did I know this nigga?
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
Father God I been betrayed
Feel like they beat me like a slave
But I learn from my mistakes
We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted
I been betrayed
Feel like they beat me like a slave
But I learn from my mistakes
We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted
They criticize me huh
They talk about me bad
Ain't nobody wanna sign me
I had to show my ass
If I love you ain't no question I'd give my last
One day this heart gonna get me zipped up in a bodybag
What about ya first love? Huh she played it cold didn't it?
Made a nigga shed a tear and she changed a nigga
So we fuck 'em and dump'em, never trust'em or love'em
No need for friends, fuck friends, friends turn into bustas
Momma gonna tell ya when that nigga ain't right (momma know!)
Momma know because she pray every night
I done and wash my hands with all this pussy shit
Niggas be hating but boosie boo he hood rich
On top of that I'm a scorpio so I'm unforgivable
First time you fuck with me dog I let them killas go
I'm down and dirty 'cause a nigga heard me
Chief was supposed to be dead but I let him slide 'cause he ain't worthy
Father God I've been betrayed
Feel like they beat me like a slave
But I learn from my mistakes
We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted
I've been betrayed
Feel like they beat me like a slave
But I learn from my mistakes
We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted, cold hearted
Feel like somebody burning candles on me
That's why that choppa and my Phantom and my house got all them cameras on it
Know I'm standing under the light
So I just try to do right
Ain't been in church, but I pray every night
It's like I used to didn't give a fuck
But over the years I dun learned and I dun got out here
And earned so much to live for
My niggas tell me slow it down for real, you need to chill bruh
Stay up on your grind, take your time, bring your kids up
My grandma told me look at you look what the streets done did to ya
Alot of niggas done changed on me, I came up they switched up
My daughter almost died, man it all seem wrong
The only thing good is my dog came home
My mind gone, my heart mad, my soul so pissed
I think my niggas tried to rob me, that's some fucked up shit
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
You might as well don't even bust back, this bitch a hunnid shots
And we been getting it by the pound
You know we blunted out
Something fancy stunted it out, throwin' money out
Father God I been betrayed
Feel like they beat me like a slave
But I learn from my mistakes
We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted
I been betrayed
Feel like they beat me like a slave
But I learn from my mistakes
We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted, cold hearted
Lil Boosie and Webbieโs song โBetrayedโ brings out the theme of being betrayed by family, friends, and loved ones. In the first verse, Boosie laments that he has been turned on by people he trusted, and it feels like they have beaten him like a slave. He attests that he has learned from his mistakes and acknowledges that we are living in the last days, which has made him cold-hearted. The second verse features Webbie, and he echoes Boosie's sentiments by describing how he has been betrayed by people he has helped in the past, and how money has shown people's true colors. Webbie narrates that he has to be careful who he trusts because people will do anything for money, including harming or killing their friends. He notes that he wakes up every day and prays for guidance.
The chorus reinforces the song's central theme of betrayal and heartbreak, and it is evident that both artists have lost trust in those they once considered their friends. The bridge of the song highlights some of the other issues that the artists have to deal with, such as being hated on and having to deal with fake people. Throughout the song, the lyrics are raw and honest, and they paint a picture of just how much betrayal hurts and how it can change a person's outlook on life.
