Sandy Griffith - The Trap lyrics

[Verse 1] As I, bend the corner ba** beatin' the back I sink into the mood and watch the people react Same gritty conversation, same bomb-a** rap Same sh**ty-a** conditions, same grip on a strap Same pigs, same crackers, same n***as united Buyin' into the stereotypes that we fightin' Buyin' into the stereotypes of us bein' Buck dancin' a** s**-crazed murderous fiends Still f**in' up these home-schooled simpleton haters Same people that display us wanna k** 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 sh** in Iraq Keep us scapegoatin' immigrants and n***as 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 motherf**ers comin' up in your house Seem that violence is the only thing they listen to now It's the trap [Hook: Sandy Griffith] 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 [Verse 2] Now let's, get this sh** 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 k**in' babies in America's name Why black and brown bodies, why murder and pain? Why these motherf**ers 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 k** 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 [Hook: Sandy Griffith] 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 [Verse 3] 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 motherf**ers bring home the troops How the coonin' and derogatory sh** in the music'll go away When they see the people snatch 'em and shoot 'em! Just watch! You'll see, sh**'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' [Hook: Sandy Griffith] 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 [Outro x 2] A write tah, CONGRESS is what they say it's about I'm sayin, fu*k 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 a, 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 [Newsreel footage] [Hook: Sandy Griffith] 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
