Broken Trust by Dead Air Syndicate
Broken Trust
[Intro]
Yeah…
Same block, different intentions
Same smiles, hidden agendas
Uh
[Hook]
Broken trust, fake love in they embrace
Grew up side by side, now I see the hate
Same ones yelling “family” switch for a plate
Broken trust cut deep, that’s a permanent pain
Broken trust, had my back till I turned around
Smiles in my face, knives when I’m not around
Loyalty rare, that’s a lost-and-found
Broken trust echo loud when the real ones down
[Verse 1]
We shared dreams on the same cracked steps
Now they sharing rumors like they paying rent
Ain’t no warning sign when envy disguise
As jokes, handshakes, and brotherly ties
I fed you when I barely ate
You knew my struggle, still chose hate
Funny how success change the air
Same dudes laughing, now they stare
I was ten toes when the ground was shaky
You folded quick when the pressure got heavy
Said “forever” like it was law
But loyalty left when opportunity called
[Hook]
Broken trust, fake love in they embrace
Grew up side by side, now I see the hate
Same ones yelling “family” switch for a plate
Broken trust cut deep, that’s a permanent pain
Broken trust, had my back till I turned around
Smiles in my face, knives when I’m not around
Loyalty rare, that’s a lost-and-found
Broken trust echo loud when the real ones down
[Verse 2]
I watched you change with the crowd you chased
New tone in your voice, new mask on your face
You knew my fears, still used ’em as ammo
That’s cold-blooded, that’s beyond scandal
We was starving together, dreaming big
Soon as I got a chance, you counted my wins
Asked for help, I didn’t hesitate
But when I needed you, it was always “wait”
That betrayal hit worse than an enemy
At least foes don’t pretend they friends with me
Trust ain’t broken, it shattered
Now every promise sound scripted, rehearsed, and padded
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you, I just see clear
Lost respect hurt more than fear
I carry scars I don’t explain
Just lessons learned from people I named
[Verse 3]
Now my circle small, but it’s solid steel
No fake love, everything real
I move quiet, let actions talk
Too many snakes learned how to walk
I don’t overshare, I protect my plans
Seen too many switch with the wave of the sands
If you wasn’t there when I had nothing
Don’t show love now, that don’t mean nothing
Broken trust taught me how to stand alone
How to guard my heart, how to build my own
I still wish you peace, but from a distance
Some bridges burn for a real good reason
[Hook]
Broken trust, fake love in they embrace
Grew up side by side, now I see the hate
Same ones yelling “family” switch for a plate
Broken trust cut deep, that’s a permanent pain
Broken trust, had my back till I turned around
Smiles in my face, knives when I’m not around
Loyalty rare, that’s a lost-and-found
Broken trust echo loud when the real ones down
[Outro]
Yeah…
Same roots, different paths
Just ’cause we grew up together
Don’t mean we grow the same.
