Lyrics
0:24You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion
0:27Happiness living on tha streets is a delusion
0:29Even a smooth criminal one day must get caught
0:32Shot up or shot down with tha bullet that he bought
0:35Nine millimeter kickin' thinking about what tha streets do
0:37To me
0:39Cause they never talk peace in tha black community
0:41All we know is violence do tha job in silence
0:43Walk tha city streets like a rat pack of tyrants
0:46Too many brothers daily heading for tha big pen
0:48Niggas comin' out worse often when they went in
0:51Over tha years I done alot of growin' up
0:53Getten drunk thrown' up cuffed up
0:55Then I said I had enough
0:56There must be another route way out
0:59To money and fame I changed my name
1:02And played a different game
1:03Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle
1:05If one more cop harasses me I just might go psycho
1:07And when I gettem I'll hittem with tha bum rush
1:10Only a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed
1:13Yo if your smart you'll really let me go G
1:15But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch tha Uzi
1:19They got me trapped
1:20(Trapped uh)
1:22(Uh uh they can't keep tha black man down)
1:25They got me trapped
1:26(Trapped uh)
1:27(Naw they can't keep tha black man down)
1:31(Trapped uh)
1:33(Trapped uh)
1:34(Uh uh they can't keep tha black man down)
1:36You know they got me trapped
1:38(Trapped uh)
1:39(Naw they can't keep tha black man down)
1:41(Trapped uh)
1:42They got me trapped
1:43Can barely walk tha city streets
1:44Without a cop harassing me searching me
1:45Then asking my identity
1:46Hands up throw me up against tha wall
1:48Didn't do a thing at all
1:49I'm tellin' you one day these suckers gotta fall
1:50Cuffed up throw me on tha concrete
1:52Coppers try to kill me
1:53But they didn't know this was tha wrong street
1:55Bang bang down another casualty
1:56But it's a cop who's shot there's brutality
1:59Who do you blame
2:00It's a shame because tha man's slain
2:02He got caught in tha chains of his own game
2:04How can I feel guilty after all tha things they did to me
2:07Sweated me hunted me
2:09Trapped in my own community
2:10One day I'm gonna bust
2:11Blow up on this society
2:13Why did ya lie to me
2:14I couldn't find a trace of equality
2:15Work me like a slave while they laid back
2:17Homie don't play that
2:18It's time I lett'em suffer tha payback
2:20I'm tryin' to avoid physical contact
2:21I can't hold back it's time to attack Jack
2:24They got me trapped
2:27(Trapped uh)
2:33(Uh uh they can't keep tha black man down)
2:38They got me trapped
2:41(Trapped uh)
2:43(Naw they can't keep tha black man down)
2:47(Trapped uh)
2:47(Uh uh they can't keep tha black man down)
2:50You know they got me trapped
2:51(Trapped uh)
2:52(Naw they can't keep tha black man down)
2:54(Trapped uh)
2:55Now I'm trapped and want to find a getaway
2:57All I need is a G and somewhere safe to stay
2:59Can't use tha phone
3:00Cause I'm sure someone is tappin' in
3:01Did it before
3:02Ain't scared to use my gat again
3:04I look back at hind site the fight was irrelevant
3:05But now he's tha devils friend
3:07Too late to be tellin' him
3:08He shot first and I'll be damned if I run away
3:10Homie is done away I should of put my gun away
3:12I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was tha ridicule
3:15Girlies was laughin' Tup sayin "Damn homies is dissin you"
3:18I fired my weapon
3:19Started steppin' in tha hurricane
3:20I got shot so I dropped
3:22Feelin' a burst of pain
3:23Got to my feet
3:24Couldn't see nothin' but bloody blood
3:26Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a murderer
3:29Ran through an alley
3:30Still lookin' for my getaway
3:31Coppers said freeze or you'll be dead today
3:34Trapped in a corner
3:35Dark and I couldn't see tha light
3:37Thoughts in my mind was tha nine and a better life
3:40What do I do
3:40Live my life in a prison cell
3:42I'd rather die than be trapped in a living hell
3:44They got me trapped
3:45(Trapped uh)
3:47(Uh uh they can't keep tha black man down)
3:52They got me trapped
3:52(Trapped uh)
3:54(Naw they can't keep tha black man down)
3:57(Trapped uh)
3:58(Trapped uh)
4:00(Uh uh they can't keep tha black man down)
4:02You know they got me trapped
4:04(Trapped uh)
4:05(Naw they can't keep tha black man down)
4:08(Trapped uh)
4:10Let's go man let's go get outta here trapped
