A song about trust, betrayal, and self-preservation, “Magpies” explores the emotional cost of navigating a world where loyalty is scarce and intentions aren’t always clear. It's about choosing peace, protecting your energy, and keeping your circle tight.
Lyrics
Magpies are around in this camp looking for something new
Seen this shit before
But you never know how they get through
No, I don’t trust nobody here
In this room
Ooh, ooh
No, there’s no friends in here
They wanna steal from you
You can’t trust them
Magpies in my ear
No, I don’t trust nobody here
Got them magpies in my ear
No, they don’t ever disappear
You can’t trust them
Magpies got me keeping secrets
Even from myself
No they ain’t ever gonna stop
‘Til they take all of your work for themselves
Why can’t I ever see them clear
From everyone else?
Ooh, ooh
But when you catch them up in here
It makes so much sense
You can’t trust them
Magpies in my ear
No, I don’t trust nobody here
Got them magpies in my ear
No, I don’t ever see them clear You can’t trust them
Who are you to trust?
Who are you to take what I do?
Who are you to trust?
Who are you to take what I do?
You can’t trust them, no
Magpies in my ear
No, I don’t trust nobody here
Got them magpies in my ear
No, I don’t ever seem the clear
You can’t trust them
Who are you to trust?
Who are you to take what I do?
Who are you to trust?
Who are you to take what I do?
Got them magpies in my ear
No, they don’t ever disappear
You can’t trust them
