You they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion Happiness, living on the is a delusion a smooth criminal one day must get caught Shot up or shot down with the that he bought Nine kickin' thinking about what the streets do to me
they never talk peace in the black community All we is violence, do the job in silence Walk the city like 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 done a lot of up Gettin' thrown' up up Then I said I had There be another route, way out To and fame, I changed my name And a different game Tired of being in this vicious cycle If one more cop harassed me I just go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em with the bum Only a lunatic like to see his skull crushed Yo, if smart you'll really let me go 'G' But keep me up in this ghetto and catch 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 can't keep the man down) (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
They got me Can barely walk the city a cop harassing me, searching me Then my identity Hands up, throw me up the wall Didn't do a at all I'm tellin' you one day these suckers fall up throw me on the concrete Coppers try to me But they know this was the wrong street Bang bang, down casualty But a cop who's shot there's brutality Who do you It's a shame because the mans He got in the chains 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 find 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 physical contact I hold back, it's time to attack jack They got me
(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 keep the man down) (Naw, they can't keep the man down)
Now I'm and want to find a getaway All I need is a 'G' and safe to stay Can't use the I'm sure someone is tappin' in Did it Ain't scared to use my gat I look at hindsight the fight was irrelevant But now he's the friend Too late to be him He first 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 heard was the was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn homies is dissin' you" I my weapon steppin' in the hurricane I got so I dropped Feelin' a of pain Got to my see nothin' but bloody blood Now I'm a fugitive to be like a murderer Ran through an lookin' for my getaway Coppers said Freeze, or you'll be today Trapped in a Dark and I see the light Thoughts in my mind was the nine and a life do I do? Live my life in a cell I'd rather die then be trapped in a living They got me
(Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) They got me (Naw, they can't the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) You know got me trapped (Naw, they keep the black man down)
