Trust in Love

[Verse 1: MayDay]
If a memory could take you back to when you were three
When mom used to tell you that you were free
Then fast forward to when you were a teen
Experimenting and trying to uncover who's weak
Cause that’s the type of person you didn't want to be
Cause out there in the real world the weak are swallowed
They're spit on and manipulated and made to feel hollow
It's just like a prison where only the strongest can survive
It's just like a jungle better make sure you keep an eye
Out there for all the ones who make it a mission
To put others down and to neglect them
And family is the only thing I ever had
Nobody else ever had my back
If blood is a symbol of love
Then I value it more that trying to gain trust
In strangers who act like they have my back
Used to be friends until they decided to attack
My pride, my ego, and my life
They tried to win my heart and then tear up the sides
That's why I remember not to be so nice
That's why I don't let anyone that easily into my life
Cause then they just use you and throw you like a ball
Tell you it's your own fault for trusting them all
That's why mom told me that in this world
You have to learn to only trust yourself and know your worth
Cause outside these walls people are trying to survive
They doing things for their own benefit
Not to have anyone on their side
If robbing you or putting a gun to your head
Gets them what they want
Then they won't care if you're dead
And that's why I learned to see things both ways
They're doing what's best for them even if it involves hate
And that's why I have to do what's right by me
That's why sometimes I have to be selfish and achieve
The things that I always dreamed

[Hook: MayDay]
You look up at the sky and hope that one day
You'd be a free man who'd develop the type of state
Of mind where you don't give into the hate
You know that kindness and a good heart
Will lead you the right way
No matter what anyone tells you or does
You believe in you and you trust in love

[Verse 2: MayDay]
Mom taught me to live through faith
And one day I'd look back and I'd see
A world that's now filled with all possibilities
A world where we don't fear anything
A world where we encourage all types of dreams
A world where my neighbors can finally live in peace
And no one judges from the outside or within
And everyone trusts in love to save the day
Cause there's no reason to try to fight something
That's so deep and strong
And that much of a blessing
Affection is the root of it all
Cause I want to know that I have someone I can call
Right when things are at their worst
Right when I wish I had someone to take away the hurt
If you want to win a war then try to love
And care for the ones who help you even when you fall
Who tell you what you need to hear
Who help you face your deepest fears
And then when you have a moment of weakness
You learn to get back up and face it
Cause the past isn't getting tired and will creep back
You'll sometimes wonder if you're on the right track
And you'll learn to let go if it's time
Cause a hand can't hold on to anything for life
And love will guide you and help you see
Everything you've experienced
Ever since you were three

[Hook: MayDay]
You look up at the sky and hope that one day
You'd be a free man who'd develop the type of state
Of mind where you don't give into the hate
You know that kindness and a good heart
Will lead you the right way
No matter what anyone tells you or does
You believe in you and you trust in love

[Outro: MayDay’s Mom]
Don’t let nobody put you down or tell you you can’t do something. You keep going and you keep trying your best. You believe in you and you trust in love. Live your life the way God wants you to and be humble, always. I love you, and I know you’re gonna be something great one day. I keep praying for you. I’m always going to
