The Trap - Derek Minor, The Wright Way

It’s a cold world, on the south side, when they catch you, with a .45, the trap

And the world don’t care about us but they want more for the cameras, the trap

Blow your brains out on Facebook Live, you a hashtag, that’s your whole life,

the trap

Mama told us, that we need God, but the rent due is the most high, the trap

Yeah I know a couple dealers (dealers)

And a couple gangbangers (bangers)

Tryna run off with they money (uh, huh)

Guarantee they will steel you with the stainless (uh, huh)

Master used to call us monkeys (yeah)

'Til we started clipping with bananas (yeah)

Throwing seeds at your head

Now your melon fruit salad

Whole body full of rage (rage)

Whole soul full of pain

When hurt people hurt people

You gon' hear the chi' chi' from the gage (pow)

Yeah I’m talking 'bout race (race)

And any topic I can think

And I said to your face (yo face)

Well hallelujah that’s grace (yeah)

This record might be the end of me

Yeah, I’m probably gon' have some enemies

Don’t shoot the messenger (please)

This what the Lord has been giving me

Someone to re-envision our history, yeah

You got a college degree (yeah)

You made it out of the trap (trap)

You are not a politician (nah)

Why don’t you get back to rap?

By the way, they say when you get paid

And you get a lil' fame that everything change

But I can’t tell, (yah) I still feel the same (yah)

'Cause every time I’m in the store

The police watching me, watching me, watching me

My 800 credit score, help me get a loan

But my neighbors think I’m selling dope

Oh my, I’m just giving y’all a glimpse into my life

Even if you color blind, your vision still in black or white

You see me

God bless the trap

God bless the trap, yeah

God bless the trap

God bless the trap, yeah

God bless the trap

God bless the trap, yeah

God bless the trap

God bless the trap, yeah
