Illgod and Tulip - Trapped Lyrics

Tulip:
I'm stuck in this place, eyes real low
Listening to Big lecture me, life we chose
Gotta make it out big man she got no soul
Try or die we're all in nowhere to go
Another day, another dream dies
It's all the same to me
And barely we sleep, be ducking police
The whole nation is a joke man
Ask anybody you know, omoguy, maka why?
We no dey feel fine
Na only God, wey dey see, when I'm on my knees
Forget where the story ends, this is where it begins
If you're listening to this, one day we're gonna win
We're trapped in the same cell, they won't let us be
(Uh) It's no greener, beyond the walls
Politicians dey thief but na we dey run, (na wa)
Why the boys no go carry gun?
Why the girls no go collect for every turn?
We're stuck in between, hell and a hard place
Looking for the money like hell it's a rat race
We might push back we had more than enough
Ask anybody you know the sea dey rough
Illgod:
These days - quiet and tranquil
Did gain taijiquan skills
But got tired o' my quill
On my block, it's my will to always
Scribble em new ways
For peops living their dooms-days
For keeps? Fit you the whole kit -
And boodle
Do duck from the 'Through Yous'
Sometimes the oomph stops
So I - notice the rooftops
Chill then, for the children I'm -
Hoping the soot stops
Erasing so hard, the paper tears
Here's a merely inked piece
Hermetically sealed
For fiends that steadily dreamed o' great careers;
But they were deferred
Like the pauper, hung by -
A noose of net arrears
In a Keke Napep
Tryin' ta make the pepper rest
Treading that paper trail;
Do persevere
A beggar lies in drains
A target for the flies
Politics and lies -
We ghettoised like do xecotcovach
I crept a warpath
Surviving pains and blood baths - Sheba
Say a prayer for Leah Sharibu
And her captors at Sambisa
Law o' Sharia? No resemblance
Just a, bunch of warheards at bomb sites;
Like Nova Zembla
f*ck your agenda
