You know they got me trapped in this of seclusion Happiness, living on the is a delusion Even a criminal one day must get caught Shot up or shot with the bullet that he bought Nine millimeter thinking about what the streets do to me
'Cause they never talk peace in the community All we know is violence, do the job in Walk the city like a rat pack of tyrants Too many brothers heading for the big pen Niggas out worse off then when they went in the years I done a lot of growin' up Gettin' thrown' up up Then I I had enough There must be route, way out To money and fame, I changed my And a different game Tired of being trapped in vicious cycle If one more cop harassed me I just go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em with the bum Only a lunatic would to see his skull crushed Yo, if your smart really let me go 'G' But me cooped up in this ghetto and catch the Uzi got me trapped
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) They got me (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't the black man down) (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
They got me Can barely walk the city Without a cop harassing me, me asking my identity Hands up, throw me up against the Didn't do a at all I'm tellin' you one day these suckers gotta up throw me on the concrete Coppers try to me But they didn't know was the wrong street bang, down another casualty But it's a cop shot there's brutality Who do you It's a shame because the mans He got caught in the of his own game How can I feel guilty after all the things did to me Sweated me, me Trapped in my own One day I'm gonna Blow up on this Why did ya lie to me?
