Don't Trip (Promise Me The World)

(album: Dirt/Hurt/Pain - 2022)

[MAIKA:]
People all around but I can't trust them
All these moves to make, but I can't function
I might be paranoid, yeah, I tried to fill the void
Surrounded myself with noise, yeah I had to make a choice
So I, cut em off, cut em off
Yeah, took enough, took enough

So don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
They might promise me the world, but I can't afford it
Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
Don't know who to trust, ever since I came up

[Pouya:]
Yuh
The doper that I get, the more I'm feeling broke and shit
A couple shady things around me that I'm noticing
Phone calls are coming in more often than they ever been
Got me wondering
Who has been there for me, from day one
It's hard to tell, but I can smell the bullshit in the ozone
Baby, don't go for the low blows
You know how to press my buttons
And make me feel like less than nothing
Sometime I feel like I had it coming
Yuh

[MAIKA:]
People all around but I can't trust them
All these moves to make, but I can't function
I might be paranoid, yeah I tried to fill the void
Surrounded myself with noise, yeah I had to make a choice
So I, cut em off, cut em off
Yeah, took enough, took enough

So don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
They might promise me the world, but I can't afford it
Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
Don't know who to trust, ever since I came up

Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
They might promise me the world, but I can't afford it
Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
Don't know who to trust, ever since I came up

[Pouya:]
To the kid with the slit wrist, and the front row
Just tryna get a picture, with me after the show
I know I might be your role model
To someone that feels like they never been understood by nobody but me (but me)
Boy, that's the timing pressure to live with
But I'm here to say, that I'm here to stay
I guess I'll live another day, say my name
Pray to God my son will never live in pain
The way I did, the things I see
My back against the wall, but still I find a way to back up off it
So fuck y'all

[MAIKA:]
People all around but I can't trust them
Poker faces I can't tell who's bluffing

So don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
They might promise me the world, but I can't afford it
Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
Don't know who to trust, ever since I came up

Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
They might promise me the world, but I can't afford it
Don't trip, don't trip, don't fall for it
Don't know who to trust, ever since I came up
