Jeezy, Jill Scott - Trapped lyrics

It's a trap!
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 fuck
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 (nah)
I mean honestly pursuin' it
Ca-cause, if you did you
Wouldn't be murdering (your own people like)
Oh ya see, it's a trap (it's a trap
That's what it's called by the way)
It's a trap

It's a trap night nigga, here we go again
Jill left the door wide open, so I'm goin' in
(let's go)
Through a bedroom I could see my momma tears
(tears) all I smell is hennessey mixed
With my momma fears (yeah)
Please momma don't cry
You know I hate cryin' (cryin')
I try my best not to die
You know I hate dyin' (yeah)
Three eighty for my thirteenth birthday
(birthday) i promised her I wouldn't let
You motherfuckers hurt me (yeah)
So ya'll get back, Jeezy got a automatic
Everytime I turn the TV on
A nigga seein' static (damn)
Guess they forgot to pay them cable folks
Them niggas in my first class
Got them cable jokes (haha)
Open up the frigerator see some old milk
Shit been sittin' so long look
Like some old silk (damn)
I've been cursed since the day
This earth birthed me
I've been cursed since the day
My mother birthed me (yeah)
And how did I get here in the first place
Oh that's right
See the trap was my birthplace (haha, young)

Said that I know you've been trapped
(trapped) like you wanna move on
But they hold you back to face consequences
Of what you did on some bullshit
(yeah, wassup)
Said that I know you've been trapped
(trapped) like you wanna move on
But they hold you back (ain't no way out)
To face consequences
Of what you did on some bullshit
(what you know bout this homie, trap life
Let's go)

Even though we had a will
We ain't have a way (way)
They just told us how to live
We ain't have a say (say)
All I know is the other side
Got some cuffs for ya (for ya)
Fresh khaki suit, nigga that's enough for ya
(yeah)
Got ya spendin' all ya money on lawyer fees
(fees) judge throwin' numbers at you
Like he speakin' Japanese (oo-wahh)
All cause a nigga out here playin' bakery
(bakery) i'm out here tryna get this bread
Somebody pray for me (haha)
I'm always on the block so
I rarely go to church (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 (heights)
A Town nigga I be on that kryptonite (yeah)
I got deadlines nigga no bedtime (time)
The only thing promised to ya
Is some fed time (time)
And how did I get here in the first place
Oh that's right
See the trap was my birthplace (haha, Young)

You ain't really really doin' it (nah)
I mean honestly pursuin' it (not at all)
Ca-cause, if you did you
Wouldn't be murdering (your people like)
Oh ya see, it's a trap (it's a trap ya'll)
It's a trap (yeah, this the trap life
Welcome to it, yeah, let's go)

Said that I know you've been trapped
(trapped) like you wanna move on
But they hold you back to face consequences
Of what you did on some bullshit
(yeah, wassup)
Said that I know you've been trapped
(trapped) like you wanna move on
But they hold you back (ain't no way out)
To face consequences
Of what you did on some bullshit
(what you know bout this homie, trap life
Let's go) trap or die nigga till the
Day I mothafuckin' die nigga
Till you put me in
That mothafuckin' couch and
You put that dirt on me homie
Goin, ain't no way out
It's death or jail nigga i'm there
