Trapped Lyrics - 2pacalypse Now - 2pac

You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion 

Happiness, living on tha streets is a delusion 

Even a smooth criminal one day must get caught 

Shot up or shot down with tha bullet that he bought 

Nine millimeter kickin' thinking about what tha streets do to me 

Cause they never talk peace in tha black community 

All we know is violence, do tha job in silence 

Walk tha city streets like a rat pack of tyrants 

Too many brothers daily heading for tha big penn 

Niggas commin' out worse off than when they went in 

Over tha years I done alot 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 played a different game 

Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle 

If one more cop harrasses me I just might go psycho 

And when I gettem 

I'll hit em with tha bum rush 

Only a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed 

Yo, if your smart you'll really let me go 'G' 

But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch tha uzi 

They got me trapped...

(Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down) 

They got me trapped 

(Naw, they can't keep tha black man down) 

Trapped 

(Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down) 

Trapped 

(Naw, they can't keep tha black man down) 

They got me trapped 

Can barely walk tha city streets 

Without a cop harrassing me, searching me 

Then asking my identity 

Hands up, throw me up against tha wall 

Didn't do a thing at all 

I'm tellen you one day these suckers gotta fall 

Cuffed up throw me on tha concrete 

Coppers try to kill me 

But they didn't know this was tha wrong street 

Bang bang, down another casualty 

But it's a cop who's shot there's brutality 

Who do you blame? 

It's a shame because tha mans slain 

He got caught in tha chains of his own game 

How can I feel guilty after all tha things they did to me 

Sweated me, hunted me 

Trapped in my own community 

One day i'm gonna bust 

Blow up on this society 

Why did ya lie to me? 

I couldn't find a trace of equality 

Work me like a slave while they laid back 

Homie don't play that 

It's time I lett'em suffer tha payback 

I'm tryin to avoid physical contact 

I can't hold back, it's time to attack jack 

They got me trapped

(uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down) 

You know they got me trapped 

(Naw, they can't keep tha black man down) 

Now i'm trapped and want to find a getaway 

All 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 look back at hindsite the fight was irrelevant 

But now he's tha devils friend 

Too late to be tellin' him 

He shot first and i'll be damned if I run away 

Homie is done away I should of put my gun away 

I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was tha ridicule 

Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin Damn homies is dissin you 

I fired my weapon 

Started steppin' in tha hurricane 

I got shot so I dropped 

Feelin' a burst of pain 

Got to my feet 

Couldn't see nothin' but bloody blood 

Now i'm a fugitive to be hunted like a murderer 

Ran through an alley 

Still lookin' for my getaway 

Coppers said Freeze, or you'll be dead today 

Trapped in a corner 

Dark and I couldn't see tha light 

Thoughts in my mind was tha nine and a better life 

What do I do? 

Live my life in a prison cell 

I'd rather die than be trapped in a living hell 

They got me trapped 

(Uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down) 

They got me trapped 

(Naw, they can't keep tha black man down) 

Trapped 

(uh uh, they can't keep tha black man down) 

You know they got me trapped 

(Naw, they can't keep tha black man down)
