Trapped in the Ghetto

Trapped inside the ghetto, I been tryna make it out
I won't be another victim, I'mma take a different route
Momma told me I can do it and I know without a doubt
But I'mma have to find a way before they try to take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto, I been tryna make it out
I won't be another victim, I'mma take a different route
Momma told me I can do it and I know without a doubt
But I'mma have to find a way before they try to take me out

It's so hard to be myself with all this weight up on my back
Gotta study in them books, but won't survive if I ain't strapped
And I would never be a target if I never turned to rap
But I ain't trippin', I'm that nigga 'til they wipe me off the map
Shoutout to Dee and Dooda, love them niggas like my siblings
Got me staying on my purpose, glad them niggas see my vision
Solidified position, going through this expedition
I ain't ever backing out until I bring it to fruition

Trapped inside the ghetto, I been tryna make it out
I won't be another victim, I'mma take a different route
Momma told me I can do it and I know without a doubt
But I'mma have to find a way before they try to take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto, I been tryna make it out
I won't be another victim, I'mma take a different route
Momma told me I can do it and I know without a doubt
But I'mma have to find a way before they try to take me out

I ain't ever been no thug nor a killer, but don't push me
I try to keep the peace, but I ain't ever been no pussy
Always dreamed to live in lavish ever since I was a rookie
Ridin' in that Maserati, fully loaded off that cookie
They think I switched it up, I'm still the same, jit
I just matured, ain't got time for all that lame shit
I gotta keep that same momentum when that fame hit
But it's so different now, the industry done changed since the Shadies and the Dres went
My niggas showed they colors, I ain't been the same since
But I ain't trippin', God showed me what they game is
I'd have them niggas feeling shitty if I came Benz
And when I make it big, I won't let 'em claim shit
That's on my momma, nigga
I got ambitions, I ain't worried 'bout no drama nigga
And I'm gon' run it up until I see them commas nigga
It's now or never, I ain't waiting 'til mãnana nigga

Trapped inside the ghetto, I been tryna make it out
I won't be another victim, I'mma take a different route
Momma told me I can do it and I know without a doubt
But I'mma have to find a way before they try to take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto, I been tryna make it out
I won't be another victim, I'mma take a different route
