Trapped (Explicit)

Jeezy - Trapped (Feat. Jill Scott)

Yo they still be grindin' and runnin'

Tryin' to get into somethin' or nothin'

I remember them days when the block got hot

Bullets flyin' for the what

It was like you ain't really give a f**k

I'm a sister mother I'm your daughter I'm your lover and I'm

Right here and I'm sayin' that it's wack sauce

Everything that you do tryna be the boss

You ain't really really doin' it

I mean honestly pursuin' it

Ca-cause if you did you wouldn't be murdering

Oh ya see it's a trap

It's a trap

It's a trap night ni**a here we go again

Jill left the door wide open so I'm goin' in

Through a bedroom I could see my momma tears

All I smell is hennessey mixed with my momma fears

Please momma don't cry you know I hate cryin'

I try my best not to die you know I hate dyin'

Three eighty for my thirteenth birthday

I promised her I wouldn't let you motherf**kers hurt me

So ya'll get back Jeezy got a automatic

Everytime I turn the TV on a ni**a seein' static

Guess they forgot to pay them cable folks

Them ni**as in my first class got them cable jokes

Open up the frigerator see some old milk

Sh*t been sittin' so long look like some old silk

I've been cursed since the day this earth birthed me

I've been cursed since the day my mother birthed me

And how did I get here in the first place

Oh that's right see the trap is my birthplace

Said that I know you've been trapped

Like you wanna move on but they hold you back

To face consequences of what you did on some bullshit

Said that I know you've been trapped

Like you wanna move on but they hold you back

To face consequences of what you did on some bullshit

Even though we had a will we ain't have a way

They just told us how to live we ain't have a say

All I know is the other side got some cuffs for ya

Fresh khaki suit ni**a that's enough for ya

Got ya spendin' all ya money on lawyer fees

Judge throwin' numbers at you like he speakin' Japanese

All cause a ni**a out here playin' bakery

I'm out here tryna get this bread somebody pray for me

I'm always on the block so I rarely go to church

Didn't wanna hear it from the preacher cause the truth hurts

And right now I'm so high I should be scared of heights

A Town ni**a I be on that kryptonite

I got deadlines ni**a no bedtime

The only thing promised to ya is some fed time

And how did I get here in the first place

Oh that's right see the trap was my birthplace

You ain't really really doin' it

I mean honestly pursuin' it

Ca-cause if you did you wouldn't be murdering

Oh ya see it's a trap

It's a trap

Said that I know you've been trapped

Like you wanna move on but they hold you back

To face consequences of what you did on some bullshit

Said that I know you've been trapped

Like you wanna move on but they hold you back

To face consequences of what you did on some bullshit

Trap or die ni**a till the day I mothaf**kin' die ni**a

Till you put me in that mothaf**kin' couch and you put that dirt on me homie

Goin ain't no way out

It's death or jail ni**a

I'm there

Count me in

Trap life
