2 Pac - Trapped Lyrics
You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusionHappiness, living on tha streets is a delusionEven a smooth criminal one day must get caughtShot up or shot down with tha bullet that he boughtNine millimeter kickin thinking about what tha streets do to meCause they never talk peace in tha black communityAll we know is violence, do tha job in silenceWalk tha city streets like a rat pack of tyrantsToo many brothers daily heading for tha big pennNiggas commin out worse offthan when they went inOver tha years I done alot of growin upGetten drunk thrown upCuffed upThen I said I had enoughThere must be another route, way outTo money and fame, I changed my nameAnd played a different gameTired of being trapped in this vicious cycleIf one more cop harrasses me I just might go psychoAnd when I gettemIll hittem with tha bum rushOnly a lunatic would like to see his skull crushedYo, if your smart youll really let me go gBut keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch tha uziThey got me trapped....Chorus[uh uh, they cant keep tha black man down]They got me trapped[naw, they cant keep tha black man down]Trapped[uh uh, they cant keep tha black man down]Trapped[naw, they cant keep tha black man down]They got me trappedCan barely walk tha city streetsWithout a cop harrassing me, searching meThen asking my identityHands up, throw me up against tha wallDidnt do a thing at allIm tellen you one day these suckers gotta fallCuffed up throw me on tha concreteCoppers try to kill meBut they didnt know this was tha wrong streetBang bang, down another casualtyBut its a cop whos shot theres brutalityWho do you blame?Its a shame because tha mans slainHe got caught in tha chains of his own gameHow can I feel guilty after all tha things they did to meSweated me, hunted meTrapped in my own communityOne day Im gonna bustBlow up on this societyWhy did ya lie to me ?I couldnt find a trace of equalityWork me like a slave while they laid backHomie dont play thatIts time I lettem suffer tha paybackIm tryin to avoid physical contactI cant hold back, its time to attack jackThey got me trappedChorus[uh uh, they cant keep tha black man down]You know they got me trapped[naw, they cant keep tha black man down]Trapped[uh uh, they cant keep tha black man down]You know they got me trapped[naw, they cant keep tha black man down]Now Im trapped and want to find a getawayAll I need is a g and somewhere safe to stayCant use tha phoneCause Im sure someone is tappin inDid it beforeAint scared to use my gat againI look back at hindsite the fight was irrelevantBut now hes tha devils friendToo late to be tellin himHe shot first and Ill be damned if I run awayHomie is done away I should of put my gun awayI wasnt thinkin all I heard was tha ridiculeGirlies was laughin, tup sayin damn homies is dissin youI fired my weaponStarted steppin in tha hurricaneI got shot so I droppedFeelin a burst of painGot to my feetCouldnt see nothin but bloody bloodNow Im a fugitive to be hunted like a murdererRan through an alleyStill lookin for my getawayCoppers said freeze, or youll be dead todayTrapped in a cornerDark and I couldnt see tha lightThoughts in my mind was tha nine and a better lifeWhat do I do ?Live my life in a prison cellId rather die than be trapped in a living hellThey got me trappedChorus[uh uh, they cant keep tha black man down]They got me trapped[naw, they cant keep tha black man down]Trapped[uh uh, they cant keep tha black man down]You know they got me trapped[naw, they cant keep tha black man down]Trapped
