[Intro]

Just praying that we get out this trap


[Verse 1: Lil B]

Dog down the street, had a infamous, code name

Blow mayne, narcotics, collecting all profit

I done stopped to see my niggas, not tonight

Cuz tonight be the day I come up, over night

Suck it up the pain and jail time, suckas stuntin' on me writing 26

As a kid resemblin', everything I thought about


[Interlude 2]

This where the trap starts

It's a trap


[Verse 2: Lil B]

I didn't have priorities

Cheap change, small talk

Hitting scams for multiple dollars, mobile to solid

Before I started rapping, the streets were my college

I passed with honors, write a book to, capture my knowledge

Audio or visual man the teachers is power

Because I'm dead..I don't relate to you cowards

Power


[Interlude 3]

Living dead, we trapped

This hood man, remember the hood is a mindset

Being a thug, being from the hood that's a mindset

Respect who respects you


[Verse 3: Lil B]

Trapped in this bullshit

Parking tickets killing me

Taxes on the right side

Ain't nobody feeling me

When we making money why is it given to the government?

Got a new President but ain't nobody feeling him

I'll overturn the government, but ain't nobody feeling that

Y'all muhfuckas..even scared to rap

Speak your mind, man


[Interlude 4]

Just speak your motherfucking mind

That's why I rap


[Verse 4: Lil B]

I'm trapped because the brothers that's resembling my complexion

Is standing at the stop signs and the intersections

Yeah I'm discriminating

But my age group is hard to find friends most of em is eliminated

Watching TV, turned on seen ElimiDate

Man teach me how to buy properties, in 50 states

Teach me about some real shit


[Interlude 5]

Even though that's real life

Teach me about some taxes

Why didn't nobody teach me about taxes on TV?

Why don't nobody teach us about none of that man?

What's going on?

Why don't people teach us about getting together?

That's why we're trapped


[Verse 5: Lil B]

How the fuck the oil spill, in the mother fucking ocean

Alotta people talk the game but really need devotion

See how I see things, my philosophy is intricate

I grew up in the hood, but I privileged experience the visuals, that I seen


[Interlude 6]

Seein' the struggle from the hood, poverty

And how there's places they don't put any money and finances into

And there's other sides that they do


[Verse 6: Lil B]

Take it from me, man appreciate your time here

Cuz even if you overlook, just know my mind here

Plus I understand from, underground to mainstream

Mainstream dick suck

Underground no cash

Fuck that, make your own life

Fantasize rap I got a structure for the fucking human race

But it's time we explore, jog in place with the race

Win a race

Appreciate death

Then I place


[Outro]

Let's get out the hood y'all, let's get out that mind state

The hood is a trap, remember that

Just keep that positive, get your core friends that love you

And motivate your friends

It's time to start being honest

Just know it's all a trap

The hood is a mind state, remember that
