You know got me trapped in this prison of seclusion Happiness, living on the is a delusion Even a smooth one day must get caught up or shot down with the bullet that he bought Nine millimeter thinking about what the streets do to me
'Cause they talk peace in the black community All we is violence, do the job in silence Walk the city streets like a rat of tyrants Too many brothers daily for the big pen Niggas commin' out worse off then when they in Over the years I done a lot of up Gettin' drunk up up Then I I had enough must be another route, way out To and fame, I changed my name And a different game Tired of being trapped in vicious cycle If one cop harassed me I just might go psycho And I get 'em I'll hit 'em with the bum Only a would like to see his skull crushed Yo, if smart you'll really let me go 'G' But keep me cooped up in this and catch the Uzi They got me
(Uh uh, they can't keep the 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)
They got me Can walk the city streets a cop harassing me, searching me Then asking my Hands up, me up against the wall do a thing at all I'm tellin' you one day these gotta fall Cuffed up me on the concrete try to kill me But they didn't know this was the wrong bang, down another casualty But it's a cop who's there's brutality Who do you It's a shame because the slain He got caught in the chains of his own How can I guilty after all the things they did to me me, hunted me Trapped in my own One day I'm bust up on this society Why did ya lie to me?

(Uh uh, they keep 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 keep the black man down)
Now I'm trapped and want to a getaway All I is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stay use the phone 'Cause I'm sure someone is in Did it Ain't scared to use my gat I look back at the fight was irrelevant But now the devils friend Too late to be him He shot first and I'll be if I run away is done away I should of put my gun away I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was the Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn is dissin' you" I fired my Started in the hurricane I got so I dropped Feelin' a burst of Got to my Couldn't see but bloody blood Now I'm a fugitive to be like a murderer Ran an alley Still for my getaway Coppers Freeze, or you'll be dead today in a corner Dark and I see the light Thoughts in my was the nine and a better life do I do? Live my in a prison cell I'd rather die then be in a living hell They got me
