My money say, "In God We Trust" but on God, I don't trust niggas
My money say, "In God We Trust" but on God, I don't trust niggas
I don't trust you niggas, naw, naw never
My team more exquisite than y'all, we all better
Dragonfruit inside of my coat its all leather
Geronimo if I gotta go to y'all level
Deposits like 3 months straight its all special
Ksubi wit' the Louis on frame and still ghetto
Might just go and shut the mall down like its metro
Spent a whole check just to fill up on the petro
Shawty boujee in the mirror doin' makeup
Weaving traffic wit' a thousand dollar laced front
I keep her happy and it don't take much
A lil time and a quickie when she wake up
Lets get it jumpin' like its Dru Hill
You want the blue check, I want the blue bills
Get to it nigga, that's the mood still
My money say, "In God We Trust" but on God, I don't trust niggas
My money say, "In God We Trust" but on God, I don't trust niggas
Pull the drop out like Ged
Now we rollin like its Dmt
My shirt foreign cuz its Vietnamese
Accepted everywhere its Guapanese
Gettin' paper like a top degree
Copped my car cash while you coppin leases
Coppin everything we not polices
You aint gettin math cuz you not strategic
I'm doin number like a tech geek
I keep it slicker than a wet street
I'm the version of the best me
I'm the version of the best you
Account lookin like a car note
That's black and white like a bar code
Aint no need to go and tell me who you are tho
Yeah
My money say, "In God We Trust" but on God, I don't trust niggas
My money say, "In God We Trust" but on God, I don't trust niggas




I don't trust niggas
I don't trust niggas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Trust" by Robert J. P. Oberg speak about the apparent contradictions and paradoxes in the contemporary world. The line "My money say, 'In God We Trust' but on God, I don't trust niggas" highlights the fact that while in the American currency, it is mentioned to trust God, in reality, people tend to trust money more and other people less. The rapper asserts that he doesn't trust people, though they might have a different profession, social status, or cultural background, he doesn't associate himself with them. The song encourages an individualistic approach by asserting one's superiority over others and comparing oneself to them to elevate one's position.


The lines "Dragonfruit inside of my coat it's all leather, Geronimo if I gotta go to y'all level" portray the idea of creating luxury from nothing, as dragonfruit is a cheap and commonly found fruit, but when added to an outfit, enhances it. Furthermore, it suggests that when the rapper is forced to lower himself to others' standards, he still maintains his level of excellence, as Geronimo was known for his fearless and brave acts. The song also talks about materialistic success through the lines, "Deposits like 3 months straight it's all special, Ksubi wit' the Louis on frame and still ghetto" where he highlights his financial prowess through a significant deposit in his bank account and then mentions wearing expensive brands while still maintaining his "ghetto" identity.


In conclusion, "Trust" by Robert J. P. Oberg is a song about elevating oneself above others through financial and materialistic success, expressing a lack of trust in humanity and a preference for individualism.
