Trappin' Out The Trap

[MAX_MODE] [Intro – male, low ad-libs over distorted 808s] Yeah… Trappin’ out the trap City don’t love you back Skinny niggas die… We still out here [Verse 1 – male] Trappin’ out the trap, same corner same block Same fiends same clock, same heat same Glock Slangin’ just to eat, ain’t no plan B in this City full of ghosts, skinny niggas gettin’ hit I done seen ‘em fold for less than a brick Youngin’ tryin’ to shine, end up in a ditch Mama prayin’ every night, I still hit the strip Countin’ dirty money with the blood on my wrist No sleep, no peace, just the work and the risk Every bag that I move is another year I live They say get out the trap, but the trap is the crib Either slang or starve — that the only option given [Chorus – female, melodic, haunting] Trappin’ out the trap Just tryin’ to survive City don’t care if you make it out alive Skinny niggas die, but the work never stop We keep trappin’ out the trap ‘til the day that we drop Trappin’ out the trap Money over love Ain’t no angels in the hood, only blood on the drugs If I make it out this bitch I’ma still look back ‘Cause the trap raised me, and the trap want me back [Verse 2 – male] Same faces every night, same cars same lights Same police same raids, same funerals same fights I done lost too many, can’t even count no more Every death make the work feel a little more pure No college, no job, just the scale and the door If the pack come short then a body hit the floor Young boys lookin’ up like I’m already paid Don’t know half of these nights I was ready to fade Still trappin’ out the trap with the same old pain Same old scars, same old blood in my veins They can hate, they can watch, they can wait for the fall But I’m still out here movin’ ‘til they carry me off [Chorus – female] Trappin’ out the trap Just tryin’ to survive City don’t care if you make it out alive Skinny niggas die, but the work never stop We keep trappin’ out the trap ‘til the day that we drop Trappin’ out the trap Money over love Ain’t no angels in the hood, only blood on the drugs If I make it out this bitch I’ma still look back ‘Cause the trap raised me, and the trap want me back [Bridge – male, half-time, colder] Ain’t no retirement plan in this shit Just a longer sentence or a shorter clip I done buried friends and still hit the strip Same trap different day, same risk different brick If the reaper come tonight I already know I was trappin’ out the trap ‘til the day I go [Final Chorus – female, stacked harmonies, heavier] Trappin’ out the trap Just tryin’ to survive City don’t care if you make it out alive Skinny niggas die, but the work never stop We keep trappin’ out the trap ‘til the day that we drop Trappin’ out the trap Money over love Ain’t no angels in the hood, only blood on the drugs If I make it out this bitch I’ma still look back ‘Cause the trap raised me… and the trap want me back [Outro – male, fading]
