I'm steady tryna find a motive
(Motive)
Why I do what I do?
Freedom ain't gettin' no closer
(Closer)
No matter how far I go

My car is stolen
(Stolen)
No registration
(Registration)
Cops patrolin'
(Patrolin')
And now they don't 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 blocks on fire
(Fire)
Under covers dressed as fiends
(Fiends)

Makin' so much money
(Money)
Ride up smooth and fast
(Fast)
Put away the stash
And as I sold the last bag ***ked around and got locked up

They won't let me out, they won't let me out
(My ***** 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

'Cuz visitation no longer comes by
(Comes by)
Seems like they forgot about me
(About me)
Commissary is getting empty
(Empty)

My cell mates getting food without me
(Without me)
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life
(Move on 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 ***** I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out
(Oh oh oh baby I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

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)
'Cuz 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, they won't let me out)

Baby, I'm locked up
(They won't let me out, no)
Where's my *****z, 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)
Can you please accept my phone calls?
(They won't let me out)
'Cuz I'm locked up, locked up, locked up
