[00:24.50]You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion
[00:27.31]Happiness, living on tha streets is a delusion
[00:29.44]Even a smooth criminal one day must get caught
[00:32.50]Shot up or shot down with tha bullet that he bought
[00:35.38]Nine millimeter kickin' thinking about what tha streets do
[00:37.94]to me
[00:39.44]Cause they never talk peace in tha black community
[00:41.76]All we know is violence, do tha job in silence
[00:43.63]Walk tha city streets like a rat pack of tyrants
[00:46.13]Too many brothers daily heading for tha big pen
[00:48.88]Niggas comin' out worse often when they went in
[00:51.19]Over tha years I done alot of growin' up
[00:53.32]Getten drunk thrown' up, cuffed up
[00:55.13]Then I said I had enough
[00:56.82]There must be another route, way out
[00:59.89]To money and fame, I changed my name
[01:02.13]And played a different game
[01:03.32]Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle
[01:05.32]If one more cop harasses me I just might go psycho
[01:07.90]And when I gettem, I'll hittem with tha bum rush
[01:10.71]Only a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed
[01:13.21]Yo, if your smart you'll really let me go G
[01:15.84]But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch tha Uzi
[01:19.02]They got me trapped
[01:20.08]（Trapped uh）
[01:22.52]（Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down）
[01:25.65]They got me trapped
[01:26.96]（Trapped uh）
[01:27.96]（Naw, they can't keep tha black man down）
[01:31.02]（Trapped uh）
[01:33.58]（Trapped uh）
[01:34.77]（Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down）
[01:36.90]You know they got me trapped
[01:38.08]（Trapped uh）
[01:39.40]（Naw, they can't keep tha black man down）
[01:41.52]（Trapped uh）
[01:42.52]They got me trapped
[01:43.34]Can barely walk tha city streets
[01:44.40]Without a cop harassing me, searching me
[01:45.58]Then asking my identity
[01:46.46]Hands up, throw me up against tha wall
[01:48.02]Didn't do a thing at all
[01:49.21]I'm tellin' you one day these suckers gotta fall
[01:50.83]Cuffed up throw me on tha concrete
[01:52.46]Coppers try to kill me
[01:53.65]But they didn't know this was tha wrong street
[01:55.40]Bang bang, down another casualty
[01:56.71]But it's a cop who's shot there's brutality
[01:59.02]Who do you blame?
[02:00.27]It's a shame because tha man's slain
[02:02.46]He got caught in tha chains of his own game
[02:04.71]How can I feel guilty after all tha things they did to me
[02:07.71]Sweated me, hunted me
[02:09.15]Trapped in my own community
[02:10.52]One day I'm gonna bust
[02:11.84]Blow up on this society
[02:13.08]Why did ya lie to me?
[02:14.46]I couldn't find a trace of equality
[02:15.96]Work me like a slave while they laid back
[02:17.77]Homie don't play that
[02:18.52]It's time I lett'em suffer tha payback
[02:20.46]I'm tryin' to avoid physical contact
[02:21.65]I can't hold back, it's time to attack Jack
[02:23.52]
[02:24.26]They got me trapped
[02:27.26]（Trapped uh）
[02:33.07]（Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down）

[02:47.21]（Trapped uh）
[02:47.96]（Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down）
[02:50.15]You know they got me trapped
[02:51.33]（Trapped uh）
[02:52.64]（Naw, they can't keep tha black man down）
[02:54.58]（Trapped uh）
[02:55.71]Now I'm trapped and want to find a getaway
[02:57.89]All I need is a G and somewhere safe to stay
[02:59.64]Can't use tha phone
[03:00.58]Cause I'm sure someone is tappin' in
[03:01.96]Did it before
[03:02.71]Ain't scared to use my gat again
[03:04.02]I look back at hind site the fight was irrelevant
[03:05.83]But now he's tha devils friend
[03:07.02]Too late to be tellin' him
[03:08.08]He shot first and I'll be damned if I run away
[03:10.14]Homie is done away I should of put my gun away
[03:12.77]I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was tha ridicule
[03:15.46]Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin ＂Damn homies is dissin you＂
[03:18.71]I fired my weapon
[03:19.52]Started steppin' in tha hurricane
[03:20.46]I got shot so I dropped
[03:22.65]Feelin' a burst of pain
[03:23.83]Got to my feet
[03:24.77]Couldn't see nothin' but bloody blood
[03:26.40]Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a murderer
[03:29.09]Ran through an alley
[03:30.27]Still lookin' for my getaway
[03:31.58]Coppers said freeze, or you'll be dead today
[03:34.58]Trapped in a corner
[03:35.77]Dark and I couldn't see tha light
[03:37.33]Thoughts in my mind was tha nine and a better life
[03:40.02]What do I do?
[03:40.89]Live my life in a prison cell
[03:42.58]I'd rather die than be trapped in a living hell
[03:44.96]They got me trapped
