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 f**k
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
I mean honestly pursuin' it
Ca-cause  if you did you wouldn't be murdering
Oh ya see  it's a trap
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
Through a bedroom I could see my momma tears
All I smell is hennessey mixed with my momma fears
Please momma don't cry  you know I hate cryin'
I try my best not to die  you know I hate dyin'
Three eighty for my thirteenth birthday
I promised her I wouldn't let you motherf**kers hurt me
So ya'll get back  Jeezy got a automatic
Everytime I turn the TV on a nigga seein' static
Guess they forgot to pay them cable folks
Them niggas in my first class got them cable jokes
Open up the frigerator see some old milk
Shit been sittin' so long look like some old silk
I've been cursed since the day this earth birthed me
I've been cursed since the day my mother birthed me
And how did I get here in the first place
Oh that's right  see the trap is my birthplace
Said that I know you've been trapped
Like you wanna move on  but they hold you back
To face consequences  of what you did on some bullshit
Said that I know you've been trapped
Like you wanna move on  but they hold you back
To face consequences  of what you did on some bullshit

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

You ain't really really doin' it
I mean honestly pursuin' it
Ca-cause  if you did you wouldn't be murdering
Oh ya see  it's a trap
It's a trap

Said that I know you've been trapped
Like you wanna move on  but they hold you back
To face consequences  of what you did on some bullshit
Said that I know you've been trapped
Like you wanna move on  but they hold you back
To face consequences  of what you did on some bullshit
Trap or die nigga till the day I mothaf**kin' die nigga
Till you put me in that mothaf**kin' couch and you put that dirt on me homie
Goin  ain't no way out
It's death or jail nigga
I'm there
Count me in
Trap life
