Trapped Song 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', thinking 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 alot of growin' up
Gettin' 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 harrasses 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 harrassing me, searching me
