Georgetown was very symbolic and very connected, not just to black
D.C., but to black America. They were kind of black America's
Basketball team for a lot, a lot of people. So when these stories
Started coming around on the sports ticker that this big drug
Dealer was hanging out with several of the players, it was big news
This is a place where opportunity's few
And niggas feud for land they never owned
Where they raise hell and waste shells
They duck baby mamas but rarely escape jail
This is, the trap, the trap
Death for my opposition, no
Them watching me blow is more than evening the score
And my team is afloat, ambition see the results
And it get to my spirit seeing Twit pics of them diplomas, word
Cannot stress it, through God's blessings we made it out
For the have-nots that have a knot to have knots
Hats off, we been working our ass off
We all-stars that made the squad with the cap off
Steinbrenner, designed to make your dynasty weary
Sometimes I'm a dick, but you niggas placenta
And that's the problem, it's a problem, don't dap me my nigga
Just tap me my nigga, nigga, that be my nigga
Man, fuck a dap man, you rappers should get back off the fingers
Trust in God and you golden, trust in rap and you empty
Bust a MAC and you gangsta, that's how them youngins' living
Shout out that Georgetown Press, they still trapped in the district
Yeah
Blessings we made it out
Blessings we made it out
They still trapped in the district
Trust in God and you golden, trust in rap and you empty
Blessings we made it out
Blessings we made it out
Shout out that Georgetown Press, they still trapped in the district
Lil' nigga, but I'm Patrick Ewing on these blocks
My MAC cold like Dikembe nigga, who need Glocks?
These crooked cops keep trying to steal the ball from me
But Lay like Kevin Braswell with D-Roc
600 Plus assists, plus this I mustn't miss
Hard work it come with this, that's why I fuck with this
G set the fucking pick, I went straight to the hole
Went to college a day, dropped out, went straight for my goals
Now it's dough in my mattress, my bitch look like a actress
Cause I studied the defense, and I stayed after practice
On my way to the league, only limit the sky
Still I show up to practice, I can't end up A.I
Yeah, pay attention, don't miss it
Shout out to Georgetown, but I won't get trapped in the district, nah
Blessings we made it out
Blessings we made it out
They still trapped in the district
Trust in God and you golden, trust in rap and you empty
Blessings we made it out
Blessings we made it out
Shout out that Georgetown Press, they still trapped in the district
Leader of the people who ain't trying to be led
But I would give this all back if I could smile all year
I seen bums, happy as anyone
Millionaires simp for bread, some be living for crumbs
Motherfuckers don't fuck with us, I still be showing love
Cause if I was local and they was on it, I'd be nah
Don't trip off what a bitch say, trouble on a good day
And my youngins put up numbers just like Bubba, Chuck and Kente
When we can't hit the league, we let the streets mislead and dictate
And there is no "I" in team, but can you read the "I" on Vick's page?
Autoporter with auto water serving the corners
Fray for calling up Zo morning before the tourney
Serving drugs, some us don't make it out here
My niggas had some plugs, I gave 'em a better outlet
There's a difference in words, hustle and trapping
See hustlers find a way out, while the latter can't climb up out it
The trap
Blessings we made it out
Blessings we made it out
They still trapped in the district
Trust in God and you golden, trust in rap and you empty
Blessings we made it out
Blessings we made it out
Shout out that Georgetown Press, they still trapped in the district

Georgetown coach John Thompson made a personal appeal to Edmond
To stay away from his players. He built this team into a national
Power, and now the specter of a D.C. drug dealer in the age
Of crack, you know, well, that could've destroyed everything
