Trap Luv
Rick Ross Lyrics

I'm in a jungle
I'm in a dangerous environment.

Lions, tigers and gorillas and shit nigga
There are various powerful and dangerous individuals in the environment.

It's a lot of monkey ass niggas out here too
There are also many foolish and unwise individuals present.

How to hustle nigga
In this environment, knowing how to make money through unconventional ways is important.

10 million dollars later I'm a blessing nigga
After earning a large amount of money, I feel blessed.

How a nigga rich but still stressing nigga
Despite having wealth, I still experience stress and difficulties.

Glock .40, Smith & Wesson nigga
I carry guns for protection in this dangerous environment.

Streets will never ever stop testing niggas
The environment will constantly provide challenges and trials for individuals.

Youngin' give 'em a head shot, send a message nigga
In order to establish dominance and send a message, sometimes violence is necessary.

Part rapper, part goon, still finessing nigga
I am both a rapper and street-savvy criminal, and I can still finesse situations to my advantage.

I believe in hustle I don't fuck with luck
I rely on hard work and strategy, and I don't rely on luck.

And it's fuck em kill em all if they don't fuck with us
If individuals are not supportive of us, we will harm them without remorse.

Them three letters mean a lot boy, sacrifices
The organization I am affiliated with is important to me, and I am willing to make sacrifices for it.

Cocaine Mafia, double check the prices
The drug business is lucrative but requires caution and intelligence.

Niggas killing niggas like they got a license
There is rampant violence and killing happening without consequences.

Niggas crossing over like they Allen Iverson
Individuals are shifting alliances and loyalties frequently, akin to basketball player Allen Iverson's career.

Fuck that iPhone 6, they be tracking niggas
I don't trust the tracking capabilities of modern technology and prefer a pager.

I'm about to get a beeper, fade to black on niggas
I am going to be more discreet and confusing to those trying to track me.

Gotti, goodnight, I'm gone
I am leaving now.

I be back when they quit living through phones
I will return when individuals are no longer entirely absorbed in technology.

When niggas put the gram down and pick the grams up
When individuals stop using Instagram and focus on drug trafficking instead.

You got follows but no dollars man that shit ain't adding up
Having social media followers doesn't equate to financial success.

Nah, and all the dirt I done, all the bricks I sold
I have a lot of experience doing illegal activity and making money through drug dealing.

I can't sleep at night, paranoid it shows
The danger and guilt of the work I do causes me sleeplessness and anxiety.

I be strapped on stage, fuck the award show
I carry weapons even during public events like award shows due to potential danger.

'Cause I shoot this bitch up and only God knows
I will react violently if necessary and only God can predict the outcome.

Yeah like I told you a long time ago fam, y'all my motivation
I have previously stated that the support of others is what drives me to continue this dangerous work.

I keep fighting doing this for y'all.
I continue to engage in these dangerous activities for the sake of others.

Every time I get somethin' in the mail
Whenever I receive something in the mail, whether it is legal or illegal, I act on it to make money.

Whether it's strapable or not from the courts
Whether I receive a weapon or a court summons, I take action either way.

I keep putting it down because y'all my motivation.
The support of others motivates me to continue earning money and engaging in illegal activity.

I appreciate the love
I am grateful for the support of others.

Niggas riding gold rims and they mama po'
Some individuals in this environment have flashy material goods but come from low-income backgrounds.

And they kill a family member for that envelope
Some individuals are willing to harm their loved ones for the sake of obtaining money.

I'm the Lionel Richie to these Commodores
I am the leader and creative force behind a successful group of individuals.

We flip pies to franchising Dominoes
We have gone from a small operation selling drugs to expanding and building a larger business model.

I speak for dope boys every track I'm on
In my music, I speak on behalf of individuals involved in drug dealing.

Until this day my people never rat or told
Even under pressure, my associates remain loyal and do not betray our business or secrets.

Posted 20 in, I'm talking fed pen
I have associates who have been caught and are serving time in federal prison.

The line between us both have gained so very thin
The boundary between legal and illegal activity has blurred for some of us.

Amongst my boys of W.E.B. Du Bois
My associates are intelligent and educated, like sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois.

Souls of black folk to hustle wasn't a choice
Black individuals in this environment are forced to engage in illegal activity in order to make a living.

Rap game everybody skimming off the top
In the music industry, everyone is trying to make money off of each other without contributing to the art form itself.

Fuck interest as long as you pull it off the lock
Making money is more important than the ethical implications of using others for financial gain.

Hoes wanna fuck, haters wanna hate
People are motivated by sex and jealousy even in this dangerous environment.

Certified sack boy, black Ronald Reagan
I am successful and have become similar to former US President Ronald Reagan in my community.

Double M no longer that Buick Regal money
My organization has become more profitable and has surpassed the income of a lower-level operation.

Nickel bag niggas so don't make me put a kilo on it
Don't underestimate us, we are capable of operating a larger and more lucrative drug ring if necessary.

Negotiating for it or either we take it
We are willing to either negotiate for or take control of any opportunity for financial gain.

Niggas even shooting choppers in a fuckin' cadence
Individuals are even able to operate weapons expertly, akin to playing instruments in a coordinated manner.

Fell out with some people that I still love
I have had disagreements and conflicts with individuals that I am still emotionally attached to.

I guess that's how it goes when it's real blood
This is the unfortunate reality of close relationships in a dangerous environment.

I remember counting cash standing in the trap
I vividly recall counting large sums of money in a location where I was involved in illegal activity.

I turned my hat to the back, had a hundred stacks
I wore my hat backwards and had $100,000 in cash with me.

60 m's later and 300 tax
After earning $60 million, I've had to pay a high amount in taxes.

Still losing weight with the south on my back, nigga
I am still under immense pressure and stress due to the nature of my work in the southern United States.

I pray you play by the rules
I hope that others will act with caution and follow the unwritten rules of the environment.

I came so close the edge
I have almost crossed the line between legal and illegal activity, and I am aware of the dangers.
