2Pac - Trapped(2007)

[00:23.35] You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion
[00:26.23] Happiness, living on the streets is a delusion
[00:28.98] Even a smooth criminal, one day must get caught
[00:31.64] Shot up or shot down with the bullet that he bought
[00:34.19] Nine millimeter kickin', thinking about what the streets do to me
[00:37.13] 'Cause they never talk peace in the black community
[00:39.74] All we know is violence, do the job in silence
[00:42.68] Walk the city streets like a rat pack of tyrants
[00:45.35] Too many brothers daily heading for the big pen'
[00:48.03] Niggas comin' out worse off than when they went in
[00:50.63] Over the years, I done alot of growin' up
[00:53.58] Gettin' drunk, throwin' up
[00:55.05] Cuffed up
[00:55.65] Then I said I had enough
[00:57.47] There must be another route, way out
[00:59.12] To money and fame, I changed my name
[01:01.11] And played a different game
[01:02.31] Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle
[01:04.85] If one more cop harrasses me, I just might go psycho
[01:07.36] And when I get 'em
[01:08.43] I'll hit 'em with the bum rush
[01:10.12] Only a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed
[01:12.63] Yo, if you're smart, you'll really let me go G
[01:15.21] But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch the uzi
[01:18.27] They got me trapped
[01:21.22] (Uh uh, they can't keep the black man down)
[01:23.53] They got me trapped
[01:26.93] (Naw, they can't keep the black man down)
[01:29.18] Trapped
[01:32.35] (Uh uh, they can't keep the black man down)
[01:34.59] Trapped
[01:37.84] (Naw, they can't keep the black man down)
[01:39.99] They got me trapped
[01:40.97] Can barely walk the city streets
[01:42.48] Without a cop harrassing me, searching me
[01:44.08] Then asking my identity
[01:45.70] Hands up, throw me up against the wall
[01:47.83] Didn't do a thing at all
[01:48.97] I'm tellin' you, one day these suckers gotta fall
[01:51.26] Cuffed up, throw me on the concrete
[01:52.96] Coppers try to kill me
[01:54.61] But they didn't know this was the wrong street
[01:56.84] Bang bang, down another casualty
[01:58.82] But it's a cop who's shot, there's brutality
[02:01.57] Who do you blame?
[02:02.41] It's a shame because the man's slain
[02:04.45] He got caught in the chains of his own game
[02:06.98] How can I feel guilty after all the things they did to me?
[02:09.63] Sweated me, hunted me
[02:10.70] Trapped in my own community
[02:12.35] One day I'm gonna bust
[02:13.56] Blow up on this society
[02:15.11] Why did ya lie to me?
[02:16.28] I couldn't find a trace of equality
[02:18.47] Work me like a slave while they laid back
[02:20.50] Homie don't play that
[02:21.81] It's time I let 'em suffer the payback
[02:23.70] I'm tryin' to avoid physical contact
[02:26.12] I can't hold back, it's time to attack jack
[02:28.89] They got me trapped
[02:32.06] (Uh uh, they can't keep the black man down)
[02:34.42] You know they got me trapped
[02:37.53] (Naw, they can't keep the black man down)
[02:40.05] Trapped
[02:42.90] (Uh uh, they can't keep the black man down)
[02:45.31] They got me trapped
[02:48.44] (Naw, they can't keep the black man down)
[02:50.90] Now I'm trapped and want to find my getaway
[02:53.24] All I need is a G and somewhere safe to stay
[02:55.92] Can't use the phone
[02:56.97] 'Cause I'm sure someone is tappin' in
[02:58.71] Did it before
[02:59.63] Ain't scared to use my gat again
[03:01.32] I look back at hindsight, the fight was irrelevant
[03:03.53] But now he's the devil's friend
[03:05.21] Too late to be tellin' him
[03:06.44] He shot first and I'll be damned if I run away
[03:09.28] Homie is done away, I should have put my gun away
[03:12.00] I wasn't thinkin', all I heard was the ridicule
[03:14.58] Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin', "Damn homies dissin' you"
[03:17.58] Fired my weapon
[03:18.75] Started steppin' in the hurricane
[03:20.24] I got shot so I dropped
[03:21.99] Feelin' a burst of pain
[03:23.04] Got to my feet
[03:24.01] Couldn't see nothin' but bloody blood
[03:25.69] Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a murderer
[03:28.35] Ran through an alley
[03:29.32] Still lookin' for my getaway
[03:31.02] Coppers said Freeze, or you'll be dead today
[03:33.94] Trapped in a corner
[03:34.88] Dark and I couldn't see the light
[03:36.74] Thoughts in my mind was the nine and a better life
[03:39.08] What do I do?
[03:40.24] Live my life in a prison cell?
[03:42.14] I'd rather die than be trapped in a living hell
[03:44.79] They got me trapped
[03:48.19] (Uh uh, they can't keep the black man down)
[03:50.65] They got me trapped
[03:53.54] (Naw, they can't keep the black man down)
[03:56.01] Trapped
[03:59.23] (Uh uh, they can't keep the black man down)
[04:00.96] You know they got me trapped
[04:04.65] (Naw, they can't keep the black man down)
[04:06.75] Trapped
[04:10.80]
