Big Proof, rest in peace dudey, we love you,
We just wanna keep making you proud, heh...
[PROOF]
My life is trapped in these lines,
Thats why I'm packing these nines,
I got a rap i ain't diein',
Thats in the back of my mind,
Got a strap made of iron,
Cant relax on this grind,
Bending over backwards for these slackers
Til I'm snapping my spine,
Natural high...i gotta focus,
On these bogus pochers,
Looking over my shoulder,
Proof get it poppin like show'd a hold up,
[EMINEM]

If Em say it i spray it,
If he will it i kill it,
We kilpatrick 'n ill it,
Yo Detroit, know i can feel it,
Will at this gun on my waiste-line,
At war we don't waste time,
Blow up magic cant take a punch,
And fifty can take 9, (BLAOW!!),
We got schoolcraft here at the seven-eight and dexter,
I'm up 'n holla spending dollars ain't feeling no pressure,
Yes suh', ya texta' is bitch...
Bet'chya ya flinch when proof shoot up they crew
And wet ya whole clique...
Trapped - Eminem
Released on Eminem Presents: The Re-Up in 2006, "Trapped" stands as a pivotal track in the rapper's discography, marking his return to the spotlight after a hiatus. The song serves as a direct response to the controversy surrounding his 2004 album, The Eminem Show, which had been pulled from stores following a lawsuit filed by the parents of a minor victim of a shooting. In this recording, Eminem addresses the legal and personal fallout, asserting his right to continue his career and criticizing the media's role in the drama. Musically, the track features a gritty, sample-heavy production that reflects the raw intensity of his work during this era. It remains a significant piece of his catalog, showcasing his ability to navigate complex personal narratives while maintaining his signature aggressive style.
