Mama cryin', can't survive
She lost her mind, she's stressin' out
She needs to pay bills
Son took her money, daughter hungry
Bought the shit, there's no refunding
She's high stakes
Older gang, they gave him weight
But he was weak, he has a week
Or he will be killed
And papa died, he used to trap
His son's a man, but men don't cry
Unless they're trap tears

It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the trap
It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the
It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the trap
It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the trap
Tears in the trap

They tank the future, knew his noose
To hang the youth and print your mind
Before you turn twelve
The sex and drugs and rock and roll
Before hormones we've been exposed
Before we know ourselves
Her baby's early, papa workin'
16, 13, what the tragic story I tell
He lost his job, his homie Brandon
Got connected to the plug
His family needs help

It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the trap
It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the
It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the trap
It ain't nothin' but them tears in the trap
Tears in the trap
Tears in the trap

So who's to say that youth today
Cannot be shot or robbed or slain
By someone, yourself
And who's to say that he was wrong
His story's long
He wakes and sleeps in everyday hell
So mind your manners, Ps and Qs
Cause nothing new
No nothing new can happen to the trap
We think it's cool and harmless too
But who are you?
Yes look around, you might just be trapped
