lyrics

6. TRAPPED I used to be famous, I used
to be cool/ I used to be a giant, I used to
run the school/ I used every word that I
knew/ I bent the drums in half/ I played
the game, like them, and said don’t make
me laugh/ We used the best loops and
breaks/ We never worried about the voices
we take/ We grew up in the woods and
lakes/ Far from the city and venomous
snakes/ Made our fair share of mistakes/
But always found luck in those crates/
Cleaned my boots like I cleaned those
plates/ Struggled to find style in an all
white state/ Never hated the next man,
was always with my girl/ Got burned out
and burned down trying to give her the
world/ Took a shot when I had it/ Worried
about the wrong things/ Waited for the
right time/ Sorry that I never learned how
to sing/
(chorus)
Not giving up, trying to be real, when the
money don’t come, it’s hard to deal/ You’re
never gonna make it if your dreams ain’t
what you feel/ I could steal the moment
and run it back/ But I’ve gotta march on
cause I won’t be trapped/
I should have listened in class/ I could
have been something else/ But nothing
made me happier than hearing myself/
Blown out ego, overshadowed by a love for
my people/ with a flow that’s so lethal/ so
god dang evil/ we go, hard, like the world
is watching/ like stop clock ain’t stopping/
like being number 1 is the only option, like
here Sha take it from the top an…/ show
em how they shoulda rolled from first
breath/ Hold em tight they coulda told us
life wasn’t death/ Cold fem fatale, woulda
taken my heart from my chest/ What a
mess, I’m a fool for stress/ We had a good
run/ We’ve got a place in the books/ Wrote
a million verses dissing all those halfway
crooks/ Swear on my life I was never
shook/ But maybe, just maybe, I didn’t
have what it took/
(chorus)
