Trap City - Lazarus

Aiyyo, it’s a crazy new world out here

I’m just trying to figure out how to survive

Welcome to Trap City.

It’s the coming of age, 2020 but I’m stuck in a cage, coronavirus got stuck on

my face, used to sold out shows and jumpin' on stage, but now we got struck

with a thunderous blaze, and now we just wonder what day, it’s gonna back to

regular, is there a vaccine coming, or are we just gonna keep benefiting mask

developers, government’s plottin', trickin' with stimulus checks and the little

bitty cash they given us, that ain’t gonna last to get through this,

no wonder we act so venomous, locked down with no jobs and no paychecks,

with these masks on our faces, fightin' all these cops and these racists,

bullets pullin,' pop with no traces

I don’t want to be left, broke, living homeless, lookin' like I got a shot in

coke in a bolus, see some looters comin' approach any moment, fist clenched

ready to go poke an opponent, see this dude sick, sneezing on his shoulder

Cough on me quick, I leave you in a coma, whatever this pandemic I treat it

like Ebola, need a hand sanitizer when I open up a cola

Hook (x1):

‘Cause.

I had so many plans that just slipped right outta my hands, can’t make no money,

can’t take no breath, can’t make no money, can’t take no breath

Huh.

I had so many plans that just slipped right outta my hands, they plottin' to

kill us till ain’t no one left, they plottin' to kill us till ain’t no one left

I just wanna feed my family, too much anxiety got me on a Zanny, huh,

but I’m not suicidal, I just do what I gotta do and I’m trapped in a Trap City,

claustrophobic like it’s packed to capacity, trust nobody, punch your nose

bloody, closed the schools down, the kids don’t study, domestic abuse when the

spouse goes nutty, they closed the cinema, can’t dine at Denny’s,

cash leaving me, I’m down to dimes and pennies, they say this never happened

since 1920, now people shootin' each other for Nike tennies

They ain’t for sale, Paypal to get a paper towel, there’s race riots,

won’t stay quiet, won’t raise a brow, I’m down and grouchy, laid on my couch

seat, don’t interrupt my Netflix with Dr. Fauci, speaking gibberish like 69

Tekashi, my friends afriad of me, family I can’t see, or travel,

the airlines ain’t goin' at all, is it real or fake?

I hear conspiracy

theories, older people gettin' sick, but it can’t be me, living in confusion

inside of Trap City, I’m ‘bout to watch Dr. Khan on Vlad TV

Hook (x2):

‘Cause.

I had so many plans that just slipped right outta my hands, can’t make no money

can’t take no breath, can’t make no money can’t take no breath

Huh.

I had so many plans that just slipped right outta my hands

They plottin' to kill us till ain’t no one left, they plottin' to kill us till

ain’t no one left

Trap City.

Nobody’s safe out here.
