Niggas still got their hands out, begging for a stack
Just like Goodie Mob, I was born in the Trap
Niggas still got their hands out, begging for a stack
But just like Luda, I was born in the Trap
Leechers still got their hands out, begging for a stack
But like Soulja Boy, I was born in the Trap The Game – Born in the Trap

And every little fuck up, they blame it on Barack
Cause he's just like T.I.: Born in the Trap
And every little fuck up, they blame it on Barack
Cause he's just like Gucci: Born in the Trap
And every little fuck up, they blame it on Barack
Cause he's just like Jeezy: Born in the Trap
And every little fuck up, my gun she go "crack!"
Cause I'm just like Outkast, born in the Trap The Game – Born in the Trap

Lyrics should be “my gun she go ‘brack’”. Game is a member of the Piru Bloods gang who substitute the letter B for C in words. this is done as a show of disrespect to their rival Crip gangs
