You know they got me trapped in prison of seclusion Happiness, on the streets is a delusion Even a criminal one day must get caught Shot up or shot with the bullet that he bought millimeter kickin' thinking about what the streets do to me
'Cause they never talk peace in the community All we is violence, do the job in silence Walk the city streets like a rat pack of Too many daily heading for the big pen Niggas commin' out off then when they went in the years I done a lot of growin' up Gettin' thrown' up up Then I I had enough There must be route, way out To and fame, I changed my name And a different game Tired of being trapped in this vicious If one more cop harassed me I just go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em the bum rush a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed Yo, if your you'll really let me go 'G' But keep me cooped up in this and catch the Uzi They got me
(Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) got me trapped (Naw, they can't keep the man down) (Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
They got me Can walk the city streets Without a cop me, searching me Then my identity Hands up, me up against the wall Didn't do a at all I'm you one day these suckers gotta fall up throw me on the concrete Coppers try to me But they didn't know this was the wrong Bang bang, down casualty But it's a cop who's shot there's Who do you It's a because the mans slain He got caught in the of his own game How can I guilty after all the things they did to me Sweated me, me Trapped in my own One day I'm bust Blow up on this Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't a trace of equality me like a slave while they laid back Homie don't play It's time I 'em suffer the payback I'm tryin' to avoid physical I can't hold back, it's time to jack 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)
Now I'm trapped and want to find a All I need is a 'G' and somewhere safe to Can't use the 'Cause I'm sure someone is in Did it Ain't to use my gat again I look at hindsight the fight was irrelevant But now he's the devils Too late to be him He first 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 is dissin' you" I my weapon Started steppin' in the I got so I dropped a burst of pain Got to my Couldn't see nothin' but bloody 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 life do I do? Live my in a prison cell I'd rather die then be trapped in a hell They got me
