No One to Depend On

As I look around
At all these smiling faces
I don't trust 'em
I've got no one to depend on

Ain't got nobody to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
No tengo a nadie
Ain't got nobody to depend on

Some people will make up lies
To bring you down and shame your name
Smiling faces, smile in my face
But all the time they wanna take my place
They give me the pat on the back
Then give me the stab in the back
Tryin' to hold me back, now I'm back
For these fools talkin' smack
Figure that out (figure that out)
It's been this way since junior high
Everybody whisperin' shit
But like I said before
Jealousy will never kill, not even
A little bit (not even a little bit)
Callin' me a phony
But who's the one who hit the scene when I was 16
With a buddha, had the skills to do it
I knew it then I blew it, I was foolish
Kickin' back on the corner
Smokin' a J everyday
Some things never change
I'm still that way, in fact today
I got so blazed
It was so magnificent
First you saw it then you didn't
It disappeared like a magic trick
Then in my magic sticks
Then I disappear in the smoke
As you soak in your lies
Lil' Rob lightin' up the sky
Like 4th of July (like 4th of July)
I can't believe myself
How I could sit back and just deceive myself

Ain't got nobody to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
That's why this nice guy has turned a wise guy
Ain't got no one to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
No tengo a nadie
Ain't got nobody to depend on

Mistakes, I know I made a few
But I'm only human, you make mistakes too
I creased my Levis one leg at a time, just like you
But you wanna keep talkin' shit
Tellin' stories that are not true
I'll get old like a fossil, tryin' to cover your tracks
Cause you'll be a rat like Donnie Brasco
Now and then, I lose my way
Feelin' like I never knew my way
Thinkin' all them times that blew away
Opportunities that I threw away
If I had wings I'd fly away
And I would do this night and day
Oh by the way, I like to play
From Saturday, till Saturday
It doesn't matter ay, what you say
I was told that I'mma get you down
And turn that frown upside down
See you could depend on me
But I can never seem to depend on you
I try to look you in the face
But then I got the syndrome, I can't see two
What do I do, I'm so confused
To win someone's got to lose
I'd hate to be in your shoes
I'd probably be dressed up in the county blues
Singin' the blues of the things that I choose
Didn't I blow your mind this time
It was probably already blown
Ain't got no one to depend on homie
Lil' Rob, holdin' my own

Ain't got nobody to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
That's why this nice guy has turned a wise guy
Ain't got no one to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
No tengo a nadie
Ain't got nobody to depend on

Everybody's somebody's fool
There's no exception to the rule
There's no guarantee that the one that you love
Is gonna love you
But I refuse to be like I used to be
Everybody usin' me, watchin' 'em runnin' screw to me
I know what they wanna do to me
Only out to make a fool of me
Don't try to be schoolin' me, please
Cause I don't need a retard
The one that's in my eyes misleadin'
Makin' me feel like everyone's double dealin'
Appealin' to many
Cause I'm the one that rock steady
If you're not ready, get ready
Think this is it, I've got plenty
And I won't stop
Till I see that pretty penny (that's heavy)
Just like a Chevy on 20's
Hittin' switches, I'm hittin' 39 inches
And leavin' you bitches in twitches
While all you snitches be snitchin'
And wanna be burnin' down bridges
I got you twisted like ropes
While I'm breakin' down on your hopes
You make me laugh just like jokes
You fade away just like ghosts
You wanna turn your back on me, pero esta bien (ole)
Ain't got no one to depend on homie
No tengo a nadie

Ain't got nobody to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
That's why this nice guy has turned a wise guy
Ain't got no one to depend on
No tengo a nadie
Don't need nobody but myself
Can't trust nobody
Cause everybody that I've trusted has done me wrong
No tengo a nadie
Ain't got nobody to depend on
