You know got me trapped in this prison of seclusion Happiness, living on the streets is a Even a smooth one day must get caught Shot up or shot down with the that he bought Nine millimeter kickin' thinking about the streets do to me
'Cause never talk peace in the black community All we is violence, do the job in silence Walk the city streets like a rat of tyrants Too many daily heading for the big pen Niggas commin' out worse off then when went in the years I done a lot of growin' up Gettin' drunk up up Then I I had enough must be another route, way out To money and fame, I changed my And a different game Tired of trapped in this vicious cycle If one cop harassed me I just might go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em with the bum Only a lunatic would to see his skull crushed Yo, if your you'll really let me go 'G' But me cooped up in this ghetto and catch the Uzi They got me
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) They got me (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
got me trapped Can barely the city streets Without a cop me, searching me Then asking my up, throw me up against 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 didn't know this was the wrong street Bang bang, down another But it's a cop who's there's brutality Who do you It's a shame the mans slain He got in the chains of his own game How can I guilty after all the things they did to me me, hunted me Trapped in my own One day I'm gonna Blow up on this Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't a trace of equality Work me like a slave while laid back Homie don't play time I lett 'em suffer the payback I'm to avoid physical contact I hold back, it's time to attack jack They got me
(Uh uh, they keep the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, they can't the black man down) (Uh uh, can't keep the black man down) (Naw, they keep the black man down)
Now I'm trapped and want to find a All I need is a 'G' and somewhere to stay use the phone 'Cause I'm someone is tappin' in Did it Ain't scared to use my gat I look back at hindsight the was irrelevant But now he's the devils Too to be tellin' him He shot and I'll be damned if I run away is done away I should of put my gun away I wasn't thinkin' all I was the ridicule Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn homies is you" I my weapon Started steppin' in the I got shot so I a burst of pain Got to my Couldn't see nothin' but blood Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted a murderer Ran through an Still for my getaway Coppers said Freeze, or be dead today Trapped in a and I couldn't 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, they keep the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, they keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't the black man down) You they got me trapped (Naw, they keep the black man down)
