You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion Happiness, living on tha streets is a delusion Even a smooth criminal one day must get caught Shot up or shot down with tha bullet that he bought Nine millimeter kickin' thinking about what tha streets doto me Cause they never talk peace in tha black community All we know is violence, do tha job in silence Walk tha city streets like a rat pack of tyrants Too many brothers daily heading for tha big penn Niggas commin' out worse off than when they went in Over tha years I done alot of growin' upGetten drunk thrown' upCuffed up Then I said I had enoughThere must be another route, way out To money and fame, I changed my nameAnd played a different game Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle If one more cop harrasses me I just might go psychoAnd when I gettem I'll hittem with tha bum rushOnly a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed Yo, if your smart you'll really let me go 'G' But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch tha uziThey got me trapped.... Chorus[Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down]They got me trapped [Naw, they can't keep tha black man down]Trapped [Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down]Trapped [Naw, they can't keep tha black man down]They got me trapped Can barely walk tha city streetsWithout a cop harrassing me, searching me Then asking my identityHands up, throw me up against tha wall Didn't do a thing at allI'm tellen you one day these suckers gotta fall Cuffed up throw me on tha concreteCoppers try to kill me But they didn't know this was tha wrong streetBang bang, down another casualty But it's a cop who's shot there's brutalityWho do you blame? It's a shame because tha mans slainHe got caught in tha chains of his own game How can I feel guilty after all tha things they did to meSweated me, hunted me Trapped in my own communityOne day i'm gonna bustBlow 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 backHomie don't play that It's time I lett'em suffer tha paybackI'm tryin to avoid physical contact I can't hold back, it's time to attack jackThey got me trappedChorus [Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down]You know they got me trapped [Naw, they can't keep tha black man down]Trapped [uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down]You know they got me trapped [Naw, they can't keep tha black man down] Now i'm trapped and want to find a getaway All I need is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stayCan't use tha phone Cause i'm sure someone is tappin inDid it beforeAin't scared to use my gat again I look back at hindsite the fight was irrelevantBut now he's tha devils friend Too late to be tellin' himHe shot first and i'll be damned if I run away Homie is done away I should of put my gun away I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was tha ridicule Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin "Damn homies is dissin you"I fired my weapon Started steppin' in tha hurricaneI got shot so I droppedFeelin' a burst of pain Got to my feetCouldn't see nothin' but bloody blood Now i'm a fugitive to be hunted like a murdererRan through an alley Still lookin' for my getawayCoppers said Freeze, or you'll be dead today Trapped in a cornerDark and I couldn't see tha light Thoughts in my mind was tha nine and a better lifeWhat do I do ? Live my life in a prison cellI'd rather die than be trapped in a living hell They got me trappedChorus[Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down] They got me trapped[Naw, they can't keep tha black man down]Trapped [uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down]You know they got me trapped [Naw, they can't keep tha black man down]Trapped
