Silkk rose to fame in the mid-to-late 1990s, releasing records through Master P's label, No Limit Records. His self-titled debut, The Shocker, was released in 1996. Silkk was featured on Master P's 1998 hit, "Make 'Em Say Uhhh!" and had a minor rap hit with his own single that same year, "It Ain't My Fault," featuring label-mate Mystikal. Silkk also performed with R&B singer Mya on the second single released from her self-titled debut album, "Movin' On." In 1999, Mya and Silkk collaborated on the lead single from his album "Made Man." The track, titled "Somebody Like Me," went on to become one of the year's top-selling singles on the Billboard charts. Since then, Silkk has released two additional solo albums: "My World, My Way" in 2001 and "Based On A True Story" in 2004. Neither release generated the same success he enjoyed in the late 1990s. Silkk was also featured on World Wrestling Entertainment's Wreckless Intent album, which was released on May 23, 2006. The song he performed on the album, I'm Comin', has since been used as the theme song for SmackDown! wrestler M.V.P. Silkk also performed former SmackDown! wrestler Orlando Jordan's theme song, Do It Big.

Silkk The Shocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(fucking organization)
I thought you could be trusted
(I thought you could be fucking trusted)
You could have had anything
(You could have had anything)
How could you betray the family
Loyalty is everything
You broke the rules
(you broke the fucking rules)
its a code we live by
there's no turning back now
(welcome to this fucking piece of shit)
[Chorus][2X]
Who can you trust to watch your back
Who can you trust when the enemy comes strapped
Who can I trust in this time of greed
Who can I trust to look out for me (hey)
[Silkk the Shocker]
How could ya, when you did it you lost me
I would of gave you the world so how could you cross me
I break bread with my TRU on watch my friends and foes
toast hennesy trust nobody keep my enemies close
now all the time I just wanted wanted to be free
and all the time I tried to help you just wanted to be me
sometimes I just want to take clips and go to war all on my own
trusting my TRU niggas and my TRU brothers and I don't want to
got tat on my own now if it was mine it was yours if I had it
you had it you told me watch my front you gone watch my back
I did that you stabbed me nigga be snitchin' to the cops
send me to the penitentiary even if its packed
but just mention me to my enemies the ones that stabbed me in the back
[Chorus][2X]
I wonder who can I trust when I out bustin' blastin' my guns
I wonder who can I trust to hop when I'm on the run
I wonder who can I trust to hold my last piece of stash
I wonder who can I trust to hang with my best piece of ass
I knew it was fate by the day when I looked in his eyes
I get beside love is trust some nigga came by
I heard he workin' with them people nigga kicked in my door
got me facin' all kinds fucked up charges got me sittin' in court
(everybody rise)
take my last stand its my last chance but take that warrant to my last dance
before they sentence me I through 'em in the court room and hollered
(its ok) Looked 'em in his eyes and wispered you're a coward
[Chorus][2X]
[People talking]
D.E.A. boy (freeze get on the fucking ground and don't move)

I'm just sittin' here tryin' to make money

how the fuck ya'll found out who told ya'll

[Silkk]
Who can you trust (haha) Who can you trust
rest in piece Biggie rest in piece Pac

The song "Who Can I Trust" by Silkk The Shocker delves into the theme of betrayal and trust within a group of people, especially when there is a code of conduct to abide by. The first set of lyrics expresses the disappointment and confusion of the individual when someone they trusted betrays them, especially after letting them into the organization. This betrayal makes the individual question the whole idea of trust and loyalty, which they considered the essence of their organization. The loyalty expected in the organization is supposed to be absolute, and by breaking the rules, the traitor lost the trust of the rest of the group.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to have someone watching your back during challenging times, such as when faced with enemy attacks. It also highlights the greed that can affect people and cause them to betray and not look out for each other. Silkk the Shocker then goes on to narrate his personal experience of betrayal and disappointment from someone he thought was a true friend. He offered everything to the friend, hoping he could trust him with his freedom and life, but the friend turned out to be a snitch, endangering his life.
In conclusion, the song "Who Can I Trust" by Silkk The Shocker discusses the criticality of loyalty and trust within groups, whether they are organizations, friends, or families. People can be greedy, deceptive, and false in their intentions, making trust essential for maintaining relationships within any group.
