I'm steady, tryin' find a motive
Why do what I do?
Freedom ain't gettin' no closer
No matter how far I go
My car is stolen, no registration
Cops patrolin', and now they done stop me
And I get locked up
(chorus)
They won't let me out, 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, they won't let me out
I'm locked up
They won't let me out, no, they won't let me out
Headin' up town to re-up
Back with a couple keys
Corner blocks on fire
Undercovers dressed as fiends
Makin' so much money
Products moving fast
Put away the stash
And as I sold the last bag
Fucked around and got locked up
(chorus)
'Cause visitation no longer comes by
Seems like they forgot about me
Commissary is getting empty
My cell mates getting food without me
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead I'm here locked up
(chorus)
Maybe 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)
Maybe 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 outta here (they won't let me out)
I'm locked up (they won't let me out, they won't let me out)
Baby I'm locked up (they won't let me out, no)
Where's my niggaz? On the lock-down
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)
Can you please accept my phone calls?
'Cause Im locked up, locked up, locked up...
