“I’m DTB for life, no, I can’t trust my b*****s,
I can’t even trust my girl ’cause I’m a f****d up n****, yeah
And if you say you trust me, girl, you lied
‘Cause I can’t even trust myself, I don’t know why you waste time in your feelings, yeah”

The song inspired hashtags like #DTB, #DTB4L, and #DTB4Life.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie has 4.5million subscribers on YouTube and 117k followers on TikTok.

This term is Gen Z’s equivalent of saying they’re swearing off dating forever after a relationship ends.

Whether it means “Don’t Trust Boys” or “Don’t Trust B******s” is up to the user.
