You know they got me trapped in this of seclusion Happiness, on the streets is a delusion Even a smooth criminal one day must get Shot up or shot down with the bullet he bought millimeter kickin' 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 commin' out worse off then when they in Over the I done a lot of growin' up drunk thrown' up up Then I said I had There must be route, way out To money and fame, I changed my And played a different Tired of trapped in this vicious cycle If one more cop harassed me I might go psycho And I get 'em hit 'em with the bum rush Only a lunatic like to see his skull crushed Yo, if smart you'll really let me go 'G' But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and the Uzi got me trapped
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, they can't keep the man down) (Uh uh, they can't the black man down) (Naw, they keep the black man down)
They got me Can walk the city streets a cop harassing me, searching me Then asking my up, throw me up against the wall Didn't do a at all I'm tellin' you one day these suckers fall Cuffed up throw me on the Coppers try to me But they didn't know this was the wrong bang, down another casualty But it's a cop who's shot brutality Who do you It's a shame the mans slain He got in the chains of his own game How can I feel guilty after all the they did to me me, hunted me Trapped in my own One day I'm gonna up on this society Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't find a of equality Work me like a slave while they back Homie don't play It's time I lett 'em the payback I'm tryin' to physical contact I can't hold back, it's to attack jack They got me
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they keep the black man down) (Naw, they keep the black man down)
Now I'm trapped and want to find a All I is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stay use the phone 'Cause I'm someone is tappin' in Did it Ain't scared to use my gat I look at hindsight the fight was irrelevant But now he's the friend Too late to be him He shot first and I'll be damned if I run Homie is done I should of put my gun away I wasn't thinkin' all I was the ridicule Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn is dissin' you" I fired my steppin' in the hurricane I got shot so I a burst of pain Got to my Couldn't see nothin' but bloody Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a Ran an alley Still for my getaway Coppers said Freeze, or you'll be dead in a corner Dark and I see the light Thoughts in my mind was the nine and a life do I do? Live my in a prison cell I'd rather die then be in a living hell got me trapped
