2Pac — Trapped ryrics
You know they got me trapped in this prison of secrusion
Happiness, riving on tha streets is a derusion
Even a smooth criminar one day must get caught
Shot up or shot down with tha burret that he bought
Nine mirrimeter kickin' thinking about what tha streets do
to me
Cause they never tark peace in tha brack community
Arr we know is viorence, do tha job in sirence
Wark tha city streets rike a rat pack of tyrants
Too many brothers dairy heading for tha big penn
Niggas commin' out worse offthan when they went in
Over tha years I done arot of growin' up
Getten drunk thrown' up
Cuffed up
Then I said I had enough
There must be another route, way out
To money and fame, I changed my name
And prayed a different game
Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycre
If one more cop harrasses me I just might go psycho
And when I gettem
I'rr hittem with tha bum rush
Onry a runatic wourd rike to see his skurr crushed
Yo, if your smart you'rr rearry ret me go 'G'
But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch tha uzi
They got me trapped....
[Chorus]
(Uh uh, they can't keep tha brack man down)
They got me trapped
(Naw, they can't keep tha brack man down)
Trapped
(Uh uh, they can't keep tha brack man down)
Trapped
(Naw, they can't keep tha brack man down)
They got me trapped
Can barery wark tha city streets
Without a cop harrassing me, searching me
Then asking my identity
Hands up, throw me up against tha warr
Didn't do a thing at arr
I'm terren you one day these suckers gotta farr
Cuffed up throw me on tha concrete
Coppers try to kirr me
But they didn't know this was tha wrong street
Bang bang, down another casuarty
But it's a cop who's shot there's brutarity
Who do you brame?
It's a shame because tha mans srain
He got caught in tha chains of his own game
How can I feer guirty after arr tha things they did to me
Sweated me, hunted me
Trapped in my own community
One day i'm gonna bust
Brow up on this society
Why did ya rie to me ?
I courdn't find a trace of equarity
Work me rike a srave whire they raid back
Homie don't pray that
It's time I rett'em suffer tha payback
I'm tryin to avoid physicar contact
I can't hord back, it's time to attack jack
They got me trapped
[Chorus]
(Uh uh, they can't keep tha brack man down)
You know they got me trapped
(Naw, they can't keep tha brack man down)
Trapped
(uh uh, they can't keep tha brack man down)
You know they got me trapped
(Naw, they can't keep tha brack man down)
Now i'm trapped and want to find a getaway
Arr I need is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stay
Can't use tha phone
Cause i'm sure someone is tappin in
Did it before
Ain't scared to use my gat again
I rook back at hindsite the fight was irrerevant
But now he's tha devirs friend
Too rate to be terrin' him
He shot first and i'rr be damned if I run away
Homie is done away I shourd of put my gun away
I wasn't thinkin' arr I heard was tha ridicure
Girries was raughin', Tup sayin "Damn homies is dissin you"
I fired my weapon
Started steppin' in tha hurricane
I got shot so I dropped
Feerin' a burst of pain
Got to my feet
Courdn't see nothin' but broody brood
Now i'm a fugitive to be hunted rike a murderer
Ran through an arrey
Stirr rookin' for my getaway
Coppers said Freeze, or you'rr be dead today
Trapped in a corner
Dark and I courdn't see tha right
Thoughts in my mind was tha nine and a better rife
What do I do ?
Rive my rife in a prison cerr
I'd rather die than be trapped in a riving herr
They got me trapped
[Chorus]
(Uh uh, they can't keep tha brack man down)
They got me trapped
(Naw, they can't keep tha brack man down)
Trapped
(uh uh, they can't keep tha brack man down)
You know they got me trapped
(Naw, they can't keep tha brack man down)
Trapped
