LYRICS

You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion

Happiness, living on the streets is a delusion

Even a smooth criminal one day must get caught

Shot up or shot down with the bullet that he bought

Nine millimeter kickin’ thinkin’ about what the streets do to me

‘Cause they never talk peace in the black community

All we know is violence, do the job in silence

Walk the city streets like a rat pack of tyrants

Too many brothers daily heading for the big pen

Niggas comin’ out worse-off than when they went in

Over the years I done a lot of growin’ up

Getting drunk, throwin’ up

Cuffed up

Then I said I had enough

There must be another route, way out

To money and fame, I changed my name

And played a different game

Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle

If one more cop harasses me I just might go psycho

And when I get ’em, I’ll hit ’em with the bum rush

Only a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed

Yo, if you’re smart you’ll really let me go, G

But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch the Uzi

They got me trapped

 

Uh, uh, they can’t keep the black man down

They got me trapped

Naw, they can’t keep the black man down

Trapped

Uh, uh, they can’t keep the black man down

Trapped

Naw, they can’t keep the black man down

 

They got me trapped

Can barely walk the city streets

Without a cop harassing me, searching me

Then asking my identity

Hands up, throw me up against the wall

Didn’t do a thing at all

I’m telling you one day these suckers gotta fall

Cuffed up throw me on the concrete

Coppers try to kill me

But they didn’t know this was the wrong street

Bang, bang, count another casualty

But it’s a cop who’s shot for his brutality

Who do you blame? It’s a shame because the man’s slain

He got caught in the chains of his own game

How can I feel guilty after all the things they did to me?

Sweated me, hunted me

Trapped in my own community

One day I’m gonna bust

Blow up on this society

Why did ya lie to me?

I couldn’t find a trace of equality

Work me like a slave while they laid back

Homie, don’t play that

It’s time I let ’em suffer the payback

I’m trying to avoid physical contact

I can’t hold back, it’s time to attack jack

They got me trapped

 

Uh, uh, they can’t keep the black man down

They got me trapped

Naw, they can’t keep the black man down

Trapped

Uh, uh, they can’t keep the black man down

Trapped

Naw, they can’t keep the black man down

 

Now I’m trapped and want to find my getaway

All I need is a ‘G’ and somewhere safe to stay

Can’t use the phone

‘Cause I’m sure someone is tapping in

Did it before

Ain’t scared to use my gat again

I look back in hindsight the fight was irrelevant

But now he’s the devil’s friend

Too late to be tellin’ him

He shot first and I’ll be damned if I run away

Homie is done away, I should’ve put my gun away

I wasn’t thinking, all I heard was the ridicule

Girlies was laughin’, Tup saying, “Damn homies is dissing you.”

I fired my weapon

Started steppin’ in the hurricane

I got shot so I dropped

Feelin’ a burst of pain

Got to my feet

Couldn’t see nothin’ but bloody blood

Now I’m a fugitive to be hunted like a murderer

Ran through an alley

Still lookin’ for my getaway

Coppers said, “Freeze, or you’ll be dead today.”

Trapped in a corner

Dark and I couldn’t see the light

Thoughts in my mind was the nine and a better life

What do I do? Live my life in a prison cell?

I’d rather die than be trapped in a living hell

They got me trapped

 

Uh, uh, they can’t keep the black man down

They got me trapped

Naw, they can’t keep the black man down

Trapped

Uh, uh, they can’t keep the black man down

Trapped

Naw, they can’t keep the black man down
