Trapped (Tupac Shakur song)

"Trapped"
Song

"Trapped" is a song by Tupac Shakur that deals with police brutality. It was a single from his debut album, 2Pacalypse Now. The first verse tells a story of Shakur being harassed by the police, and one even shooting at him. He then fires back and says he did it, because he would be ridiculed by girls if he didn't.

Shakur then depicts the police chasing after him and eventually cornering him. He then ends the song with the line "I'd rather die then be trapped in the living hell", which makes the listener think he will go out in a blaze of glory instead of being put in jail.

The music video features Shock G singing part of the song's chorus and depicts Shakur in jail. It appeared as a bonus on the DVD for Tupac: Resurrection.

"Trapped" was featured on 2Pac's Greatest Hits in 1998.
