(chorus)

this is dedicated to my patna's thats on lockdown,
juveniles on lockdown,
women thats on lockdown (X2)

hey young thug,
it seems you got yourself in a serious situation
this incarceration
come up a un-loved youngster in the city
while momma and daddy got all day and never listen
now you're drifting away
and blowing all your ambitions away
dont throw it all away
you're not a name, you're just a number
feeling like dont nobody love ya
wanna hug ya
to stop ya from going under (ah ah)
i know sometimes that we praise this life
but im here to tell you that we all paid the price
so move on
and dont believe everything you be hearing on them songs
cause sometimes the devil can get in there and steer you wrong

(chorus)X2

now this is for my ghetto queens in the slammer
convicted now as criminals
caged up like animals
these real women
stuck in this wicked prison system
look how ya living
you should be home raising your children
but you messing with that sucka that got you hooked on rock
hooked doing crime
then he should blow ya mind
and they like come but you cant go home
and all over the world its the same old song (same song)

(chorus)X2

now this one is for my partners doin they time in the pen
doin 5 with a 10 tail
a 25 with an L
never comin home no more
end of your life, your life, your life, your life
finished, guess you paid the price
cant hug your wife
you cant even kiss ya kids and tell em you love em
want me to comfort em?
and nothing is worse then being nowhere for you loved ones
i feel ya how ya feelin
so i gotta take the time to drop a line
i gotta take the time to let you shine

(chorus)to end
