The Trap - Paris

As I bend the corner bass beatin' the back

I sink into the mood and watch the people react

Same gritty conversation, same bomb-ass rap

Same shitty-ass conditions, same grip on a strap

Same pigs, same crackers, same niggas united

Buyin' into the stereotypes that we fightin'

Buyin' into the stereotypes of us bein'

Buck dancin' ass sex-crazed murderous fiends

Still fuckin' up these home-schooled simpleton haters

Same people that display us wanna kill and betray us

Same division, mo' religion, never readin', just prayers

More bounty hunters, Imus' and Jena’s and Kramer’s

Still blame us for the cause of the way that we act

While lullabies of celebrities still keep us distracted

Keep the focus off the President and shit in Iraq

Keep us scapegoatin' immigrants and niggas on crack

Keep the propaganda comin', keep impressin' the kids

They only care about us when its time to enlist

But when them politicians talk about protectin' the fetus

What it mean when they send us off to war and mistreat us?

Tax cuts for the rich, ain’t no snitchin' allowed

'Specially if it’s piggies that we talkin' about

As they murder motherfuckers comin' up in your house

Seem that violence is the only thing they listen to now

It’s the trap

Look at all the gangsters ride

Sometime it seem we born to die

What will it take to make it right?

With no chance, no promise of advancement, hey

Don’t wanna lose another life

We’ve seen too many of us die

Let’s put this thing together right?

Take a stand, and plan to get ahead

Now let’s, get this shit clear once and for all

Ain’t no terrorist that’s bigger than America’s balls

Ain’t no terror more terrible than terror we brought

And ain’t it terrible the terror’s all America’s fault

I’m askin', what would you do if you knew of it all?

If you knew all our enemies were made for the part?

If you knew that everything they do is part of a plot

That’s pre-agreed upon with us, so you always support?

Claimin, patriot but can’t never explain

Why babies killin' babies in America’s name

Why black and brown bodies, why murder and pain?

Why these motherfuckers laughin' all the way to the bank?

That’s gangster!

But we don’t see the truth of it still

Don’t see the truth the way the ruthless murder and kill

Ain’t no doubt about it bruh, that’s big pimpin' for real

And you askin' why I’m out here servin' 'em still

It’s the trap

Look at all the gangsters ride

Sometime it seem we born to die

What will it take to make it right?

With no chance, no promise of advancement, hey

Don’t wanna lose another life

We’ve seen too many of us die

Let’s put this thing together right?

Take a stand, and plan to get ahead

The way I see it, the only way to change it is pain

Seems they only pay attention when we splatterin' brains

Seem they never seem to hear us when we march and complain

Or when when we protestin', hopin' pigs don’t whoop us again

Look here, see how fast money come for the schools

And how quick them motherfuckers bring home the troops

How the coonin' and derogatory shit in the music’ll go away

When they see the people snatch 'em and shoot 'em!

Just watch!

You’ll see, shit’ll change on a dime

Best believe for politicians ain’t gon' be no more hidin'

Ain’t gonna be no mo' lyin, don’t wanna see 'em in court

Don’t wanna sue 'em, rather do 'em, shoot 'em up in his Porsche

Bring the balance back where the people making the rules

Where the government is scared of what the people might do

And not the other way around, y’all got it confused

Was ignored, but you listenin' now!

We on the move sayin'

Look at all the gangsters ride

Sometime it seem we born to die

What will it take to make it right?

With no chance, no promise of advancement, hey

Don’t wanna lose another life

We’ve seen too many of us die

Let’s put this thing together right?

Take a stand, and plan to get ahead

A write tah Congress is what they say it’s about

I’m sayin', fuck de letta, wet her leavin' de house

I get my, gun and stun 'em, run dem out of de town

I’d rather, shoot now congressman, I shoot now congressman

I vote but never stop the problem around

Dem soldier, only murderin' the black and the brown

I get my gun and stun 'em, run dem out of de town

I’d rather, shoot now congressman a, shoot de President a

A write tah Congress is what they say it’s about
