[Verse 1: Salem]

Creeping up on my thoughts, whisper evil to my ears

Going through my loss, been the same a couple years

I see you in my shadows, even see you in my dreams

I see you turn me hollow, yeah I’ve seen you since my teens

I don’t know what to do, don’t know where to scream

Been feeling so mute, disconnected from my genes

I can’t relate no more, can’t feel what it’s like

Been empty in my core, I’ve been losing this war

Expectations getting high, Motivation on the low

Got me stressed out, got nowhere to go

What you think of me when I’m out of my brain

Breathing getting faster likе I’m going insane

Heart’s ready to drop at any moment

Cause my mind’s in a constant form of torment

How’d I get myself in any of this mess

Can’t even get focused on chasing the cheques

The asthma to the pain, I wonder what’s next

Anxiety and paranoia yeah they have me so stressed

Feel like my mind’s playing trick on my head

Am I alive cause I’ve been feeling so dead

Lost control in my head, am I getting jumped

Am I lying to myself, am I in a slump

Mind’s full of worries and I miss you’s

Who would have know I have trust issues


[Hook: Salem]

I got trust issues, I got trust issues

Damn oh damn I got trust issues

I got trust issues, trust issues

Damn oh damn I got trust issues, I got

I got trust issues, I got

I got trust issues

Damn oh damn I got trust issues, I got

I got trust issues, I got


[Verse 2: WE$tmane]

Shit, I don’t really wanna ask

I don’t get assisted when I go on a task

Don’t gotta convince me, I wasn’t gonna pass

Once you take a hit you ain’t never coming back

Let me get a glimpse of the picture, see the flash

I can reminisce days talking about the past

I couldn’t risk, take I cannot advance

See you don’t got shit to say when you see me...

Frenemies, enemies every nigga not what they pretend to be, what you tellin me, no...

Start to act a type of way, we gone lose hope

Man I see you capping straight through the loophole

Cause I dress nice, now they got they heads tight

Restless nights, I can’t even get right

Stress-free right until they see me on sight

So many thoughts I could be reading yours right

Hell of an effect, how I get to your mind

Better protect your neck ‘fore they get to your spine

Peeking out the window

Seeking what I did though, is they needing my credentials, nigga no lie

Start to act a type of way, we gone lose hope

Why they started acting strange, nigga who knows?

Farsighted niggas never got to see the vision

Boy we right here now they telling me we too... close


[Hook: Salem]

I got trust issues, I got trust issues

Damn oh damn I got trust issues

I got trust issues, trust issues

Damn oh damn I got trust issues, I got

I got trust issues, I got

I got trust issues

Damn oh damn I got trust issues, I got

I got trust issues, I got


[Verse 3: Salem]

The older that I get, the better I’m myself

Therapy, religion were my saviours from my hell

Hide in a shell, my words couldn’t tell

Was going through it saying fuck to my well

Being, music got in my health

Took a break, now I found myself

Justified my pain, thought to excel

All this just to put my mind in a cell

Used to say some shit like suffer for the cause

The cause was clout, cloudin up my thoughts

Was swallowed in my own fucking jaws

Had to stop quick, had to put it on pause

Ready set go, getting applause

Mic in my hands with a new set of laws

Make sure I’m good before this music shit

A slave to the past, not a new prophet
