Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same people we always trust
Fuck you mister politician, don’t wanna listen?
Nothing you plan to offer can get me out my position
Mama still in the hospital, bad read it in her head spinnin’
Poppin’ the pain killers, fed from a tool listen
Don’t give a fuck if you ain’t his views and different
Learning, he won’t probably views, third shipped in the worse condition
I sort of missed them days of Bill Clinton
Bill gettin’ seen the stack up to the ceiling
I find that appealing, stead of this bullshit you’re dealing,
Cards are even odds, are even hard,
Mama pray to Lord keep belivin’ in God
And for... Maybe not, but we’re not gettin off for these blocks,
Were to act, get in dark in hell in cop, the barely pop,
Born in position, we put it hard to avoid and the devil knows just where do employ.
Shit!
Hook:
Who were you gonna trust, I said them it’s simple mathematics,
Number one public enemy with the pan passion
I become the only one you can rely on,
’cause I don’t lie tune, one hundred pure.
Who were you gonna trust, I said them it’s simple mathematics,
Number one public enemy with the pan passion
I become the only one you can rely on,
’cause I don’t lie tune, one hundred pure.
Okay your lections over... Is a nigga shit,
Races America yeah you gotta deal with it,
You don’t even like to have this white,
So you really gotta hate my black ass insight alright
Big lip, big nose, black I’m so proud,
All over you two but the fact in your press of child,
Got little Johhny with bell and yell and fuck the system
You wanna bark get some stuck in this private prisons
’cause niggas getting flip like hot cakes,
Legal favorite free it’s better than what that coky made,
Man, you witness in the legacy
The south been reason the state new...
... Above their shit, deepin in the zip party
You don’t know oh boy you’d better ask somebody
Enemy invisible, ring the alarm, I sing
I sing, they strike like when I hit the...
[Hook:]
In Reks's song "Trust Us", the lyrics convey skepticism towards politicians and government institutions. The first two lines, "I mean who is supposed to trust?/Same people we always trust" suggest that people have become disillusioned with those in power, and rightfully so. The next lines express frustration with politicians and their plans, which are seen as ineffective and unable to bring about positive change. Instead, the singer's focus is on taking care of their own family and responsibilities, such as paying for their son's tuition. The chorus reinforces the idea that the only person one can truly rely on is oneself, as they are "one hundred pure" and don't "lie tune."
The second verse speaks to the ongoing issue of racism in America, with the singer acknowledging that they are seen as a "public enemy" because of their race. Despite this, they are proud of their black identity and refuse to back down from speaking out against the injustice they see. The reference to "private prisons" highlights the prison industrial complex and how it disproportionately affects Black and Brown people. The last lines of the verse mention the South as a reason for the state of the current system, suggesting a historical legacy of racism that has persisted for centuries.
Overall, "Trust Us" is a commentary on the state of society and how individuals have been let down by those in power. The lyrics invite listeners to question their own trust in institutions and instead rely on themselves to create change.
