Locked Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm steady tryna find the motive (motive)
Why I do what I do?
Freedom ain't getting no closer (closer)
No matter how far I go
My car is stolen (stolen)
No registration (–tration)
Cops patrollin' (patrollin')
Now they done stop me and I get locked up
They won't let me out
They won't let me out
(I'm locked up) they won't let me out, no
They won't let me out
(I'm locked up) they won't let me out
They won't let me out
(I'm locked up) they won't let me out, no
They won't let me out
Headin' uptown to re-up (re-up)
Back with a couple keys (keys)
Corner block's on fire (fire)
Undercovers dressed as fiends (fiends)
Makin' so much money (money)
Product's movin' fast (fast)
Put away the stash
As I sold the last bag, fucked around and got locked up
They won't let me out
They won't let me out (my nigga, I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, no
They won't let me out
(I got locked up) they won't let me out
They won't let me out (baby girl, I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, no
They won't let me out
'Cause visitation no longer comes by (comes by)
Seems like they forgot about me ('bout me)
Commissary is gettin' empty (empty)
My cellmates gettin' food without me (without me)
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life (oh, no, with my life)
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead, I'm here locked up
They won't let me out
They won't let me out (oh, I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, no
They won't let me out (my nigga, I'm locked up)
They won't let me out (oh)
They won't let me out (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, no
They won't let me out
(Can you pay me a visit?) They won't let me out
(Send me some magazines?) They won't let me out
(Send me some money orders?) They won't let me out, no
(Pay me a visit, baby) they won't let me out
('Cause I'm locked up) they won't let me out
(Where's my lawyer?) They won't let me out
(I'm locked up) they won't let me out, no
(Get me out of here) they won't let me out
(I'm locked up) they won't let me out
(Baby, I'm locked up) they won't let me out
They won't let me out, no
(Where's my niggas on the lock-down?) They won't let me out
(Damn, I'm locked up) they won't let me out
(I'm locked up) they won't let me out
(Oh) they won't let me out, no
(Can you please accept my phone calls?) They won't let me out
'Cause I'm locked up (locked up, locked up)
