Betrayed
Webbie Feat. Lil Boosie Lyrics

Dear God
Addressing a prayer to God

I ask you to make my heart cold tonight
Requesting God to make him emotionally detached and insensitive towards negative influences

From all strangers, all bustas, y'know what I'm talking about?
Seeking protection from deceitful and treacherous people

Father God I've been betrayed ('cause I've been betrayed)
Acknowledging betrayal at the hands of someone he trusted

Feel like they beat me like a slave
Comparing the feeling of betrayal to physical abuse

How many niggas been betrayed out there tonight? (Plenty of times, nigga)
Rhetorical question to emphasize the prevalence of betrayal and distrust

Nigga don't keep it real no more (put your middle finger up!)
Expressing disappointment at the lack of honesty and loyalty among people

After all the fucking shit we done been through,
Reflecting on the shared experiences and adversities with the people who betrayed him

All the pussy niggas we done tend to,
Referring to the people who were weak and needed support

But it don't mean nothing when a nigga money low,
Realizing that people's loyalty is often dependent on financial gain

Nigga'll shoot you in the back and cut yo fucking throat like Rich and alpoe.
Citing examples of past betrayals where people resorted to violence and treachery

Now it's hard for me to trust somebody, family need it they'll steal if they know you got it,
Expressing difficulty in trusting anyone, even family members, because of past betrayals and greed

God forgive me I been hurt by a couple niggas
Asking for divine mercy and forgiveness after being hurt by a few people

That's why I wake up say my prayers and be like fuck a nigga,
Turning to prayers and spiritual strength to cope with betrayal and distrust towards people

Bitches want riches so they trying to slide the rubber off trying to get pregnant
Commenting on women who try to trap men by getting pregnant and securing financial gain

When you stupid hoes gon' learn yo' lesson, man it seem like the mo' love you show a nigga,
Questioning the motives of women who use love as a tool to manipulate men

When it fall off you be like damn did I know this nigga?
Reflecting on how people change and reveal their true selves only after a crisis or a downfall

I'm glad I rap 'cause these days they testify, nigga ain't catch you wit nuthin' and he got 25,
Appreciating having a career in music where he does not have to prove his innocence in court

Just 'cause he say he gon' ride don't mean he loyal dawg, its Cain and Abel again forgive us father God
Warning against trusting someone just because they promise to be loyal, asking for forgiveness from God for repeating the tale of betrayal from the Bible

We living in the last days, pray for me and make me cold hearted
Emphasizing the tough and untrustworthy nature of the world and asking God to make him emotionally strong

They criticize me huh
Acknowledging criticism and negativity from others

They talk about me bad
Referring to the bad mouthing and gossiping by others

Ain't nobody wanna sign me
Complaining about the lack of recognition despite his talent

I had to show my ass
Asserting himself and making his presence felt in the music industry

If I love you ain't no question I'd give my last
Stating his loyalty and generosity towards those he loves

One day this heart gonna get me zipped up in a bodybag
Realizing the risk involved in being emotional and attached to anyone or anything

What about ya first love? Huh she played it cold didn't it?
Asking a rhetorical question to point out how first love is not always pure and true

Made a nigga shed a tear and she changed a nigga
Reflecting on how a former lover caused emotional pain and transformation

So we fuck 'em and dump'em, never trust'em or love'em
Adopting a cynical attitude towards women by considering them as disposable and untrustworthy

No need for friends, fuck friends, friends turn into bustas
Refraining from getting too attached to friends as they can also betray and harm you

Momma gonna tell ya when that nigga ain't right (momma know!)
Believing in a mother's intuition and guidance in recognizing bad people

I done and wash my hands with all this pussy shit
Rejecting the drama, pettiness and negativity of others

Niggas be hating but boosie boo he hood rich
Acknowledging the envy and hatred from others but being proud of his own success

On top of that I'm a scorpio so I'm unforgivable
Referring to his astrological sign and suggesting that he is vengeful and does not forgive easily

First time you fuck with me dog I let them killas go
Warning against messing with him as he can unleash his wrath

I'm down and dirty 'cause a nigga heard me
Becoming ruthless and cunning because of past betrayals and hurts

Chief was supposed to be dead but I let him slide 'cause he ain't worthy
Recalling a situation where he decided to forgive and spare someone's life as they were not worth the effort

Feel like somebody burning candles on me
Expressing the feeling of being watched and targeted by someone else

That's why that choppa and my Phantom and my house got all them cameras on it
Taking precautions and installing cameras and security measures to protect himself and his property

Know I'm standing under the light
Knowing that he is in the spotlight and vulnerable to criticism and harm

So I just try to do right
Trying to be honest and good despite the negativity and temptations around him

Ain't been in church, but I pray every night
Not going to church but maintaining a relationship with God through prayer

It's like I used to didn't give a fuck
Admitting to not caring about consequences or morality earlier in life

But over the years I dun learned and I dun got out here
Realizing and learning from past mistakes and experiences

And earned so much to live for
Achieving success and having a lot of good things to live for

My niggas tell me slow it down for real, you need to chill bruh
Being advised by his friends to slow down and avoid dangerous situations

My grandma told me look at you look what the streets done did to ya
Receiving guidance and wisdom from his grandmother who is aware of the dangers of street life

Alot of niggas done changed on me, I came up they switched up
Feeling betrayed and abandoned by people who used to support him when he achieved success

My daughter almost died, man it all seem wrong
Recalling a traumatic event related to his daughter which made life seem unfair and unjust

The only thing good is my dog came home
Feeling grateful and relieved that his dog returned home safely

My mind gone, my heart mad, my soul so pissed
Feeling mentally disturbed, angry and resentful towards those who betrayed him

I think my niggas tried to rob me, that's some fucked up shit
Suspecting that his friends may have betrayed him and attempted to steal from him, which is extremely hurtful

Blowing killa when I ride, in my mirror when I ride by
Smoking weed and being vigilant of his surroundings while driving

Can see some niggas doing a coward-ass drive-by
Being aware of the possibility of being attacked or harmed by people who are cowardly and disrespectful

Some of these pussies really think that they got nine lives
Believing that some people think they are invincible and can get away with anything

You might as well don't even bust back, this bitch a hunnid shots
Suggesting that there is no point in retaliating as the other person is capable of firing too many shots

And we been getting it by the pound
Making money through drug dealing and being successful in that business

You know we blunted out
Smoking weed and being high

Something fancy stunted it out, throwin' money out
Flaunting his wealth and spending money extravagantly on luxurious things
