The Trap

Growing up yea you know I was a wild child Influenced by rap influenced by trap Yea I thought it was cool but I played smart But I had to make it left my past in the back I was making them deals like playing cards Serving plays out like I was handing out snacks I had some people say I wouldn't make it out That's the reason why they call it the trap Had to spread my wings out and fly just like a bird Ima work hard for what I deserve You know I put passion in all of my words I turned my back then went straight back to work Time can go by fast just like a blur Got the armor of God I put that on my shirt Took off flying like a thunderbird Not only im hungry but I got some thirst Ain't nun nobody tell me, I done been drug in the dirt, so my heart ain't healthy And you know I done hung with the wealthy And I done hung with the poor, I take lessons listen to what they tell me Talk to god he be giving me blessings he the only one I need I can't never let nobody compel me And I been seeking for my dreams we been building up a team And the negativity energy you know I'm expelling Put it on the record, let's take it way back to the 70s Dj kool herc inspired hip-hop it was out there for people to see It wasn't no popping gats and no toting straps it was having fun on the melody I said a hip hop hippity hippity hip hop yea you know what I mean (Hip hip hippity) Then it went smooth till the mid 80's Gangster rap came around lotta bodies falling down, over beef And that's just how it originated all the way to now, in the streets They tell us we stuck in the hood they don't wanna see us make it out, but believe It might be a long road but I can't let em knock me off my pivot now They wanna come around, they used to bring me down I wasn't even born with a silver spoon But they see me now and I got the crowd I'm reaching greater heights I'm going past the moon I was young when my fam said I had an insight for things to come true Beyond the wall of books that defines life after that it might run smooth What more could you ask for? The crazy light? You complain about BLM , I gotta love it though At least somebody still speaking for us, yea ain't that right And I been getting sick, I swear life's a bitch She's related to death it is what it is But we just gotta live and can't take for granted But some people might not ever understand it Growing up yea you know I was a wild child Influenced by rap influenced by trap Yea I thought it was cool but I played smart But I had to make it left my past in the back I was making them deals like playing cards Serving plays out like I was handing out snacks I had some people say I wouldn't make it out That's the reason why they call it the trap Growing up yea you know I was a wild child Influenced by rap influenced by trap Yea I thought it was cool but I played smart But I had to make it left my past in the back I was making them deals like playing cards Serving plays out like I was handing out snacks I had some people say I wouldn't make it out That's the reason why they call it the trap
