You know they got me trapped in this of seclusion Happiness, living on the streets is a a smooth criminal one day must get caught Shot up or down with the bullet that he bought Nine millimeter kickin' about what the streets do to me
'Cause never talk peace in the black community All we know is violence, do the job in Walk the city streets like a rat of tyrants Too many daily heading for the big pen Niggas commin' out worse off when they went in the years I done a lot of growin' up Gettin' drunk up up Then I said I had must be another route, way out To and fame, I changed my name And played a game Tired of being trapped in vicious cycle If one more cop harassed me I just go psycho And I get 'em hit 'em with the bum rush Only a lunatic would to see his skull crushed Yo, if smart 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 keep the black man down) (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
got me trapped Can barely walk the city Without a cop harassing me, me asking my identity Hands up, throw me up the wall do a thing at all I'm tellin' you one day suckers gotta fall up throw me on the concrete Coppers try to me But they know this was the wrong street Bang bang, down another But it's a cop shot there's brutality Who do you It's a shame because the slain He got caught in the of his own game How can I feel guilty all the things they did to me Sweated me, me Trapped in my own One day I'm gonna Blow up on society Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't a trace of equality Work me a slave while they laid back Homie play that It's time I lett 'em the payback I'm tryin' to physical contact I can't hold back, it's time to attack got me trapped
(Uh uh, they can't the black man down) They got me (Naw, they keep the black man down) (Uh uh, can't keep the black man down) (Naw, they can't the black man down)
Now I'm trapped and want to a getaway All I is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stay use the phone 'Cause I'm sure is tappin' in Did it Ain't to use my gat again I look back at the fight was irrelevant But now he's the devils Too to be tellin' him He shot and I'll be damned if I run away Homie is done away I of put my gun away I wasn't all I heard was the ridicule Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn homies is you" I my weapon Started in the hurricane I got shot so I a burst of pain Got to my see nothin' but bloody blood Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted a murderer Ran an alley Still for my getaway said Freeze, or you'll 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 life in a cell I'd rather die then be in a living hell got me trapped
(Uh uh, they can't the black man down) They got me (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't the black man down) You know got me trapped (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
