You know they got me trapped in prison of seclusion Happiness, living on the is a delusion Even a criminal one day must get caught Shot up or shot down with the bullet he bought Nine millimeter thinking about what the streets do to me
'Cause they never peace in the black community All we is violence, do the job in silence Walk the city streets a rat pack of tyrants Too many daily heading for the big pen Niggas commin' out worse off then they went in Over the years I a lot of growin' up Gettin' drunk up up Then I said I had There be another route, way out To money and fame, I my name And played a different Tired of being trapped in this cycle If one cop harassed me I just might go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em the bum rush Only a lunatic would to see his skull crushed Yo, if your smart really let me go 'G' But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and the Uzi got me trapped
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) They got me (Naw, they can't keep the man down) (Uh uh, they keep the black man down) (Naw, they can't the black man down)
They got me Can barely the city streets Without a cop me, searching me Then asking my Hands up, throw me up the wall Didn't do a at all I'm tellin' you one day these gotta fall up throw me on the concrete Coppers try to me But they didn't know this was the street Bang bang, down casualty But it's a cop who's shot there's Who do you It's a shame because the mans He got caught in the of his own game How can I feel after all the things they did to me me, hunted me Trapped in my own One day I'm bust up on this society Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't a trace of equality Work me like a slave while laid back Homie play that time I lett 'em suffer the payback I'm tryin' to avoid physical I can't hold back, time to attack jack got me trapped
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, they keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they keep the black man down) (Naw, they can't keep the man down)
Now I'm and want to find a getaway All I is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stay use the phone 'Cause I'm sure is tappin' in Did it scared to use my gat again I look back at hindsight the was irrelevant But now the devils friend Too late to be him He shot and I'll be damned if I run away Homie is away I should of put my gun away I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was the Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn homies is you" I fired my steppin' in the hurricane I got shot so I Feelin' a of pain Got to my Couldn't see but bloody blood Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a Ran an alley Still lookin' for my Coppers said Freeze, or be dead today in a corner Dark and I see the light Thoughts in my mind was the nine and a better do I do? Live my in a prison cell I'd die then be trapped in a living hell got me trapped
(Uh uh, can't keep the black man down) They got me (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, can't keep the black man down) You they got me trapped (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
