I'm steady tryna 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

They won't let me out, they won't let me out
(I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont 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 Ria
Back with a couple peeps
Caught a blocks on fire
Under covers dressed as fiends

Makin' so much money
Ride up smooth and fast
Put away the stash
And as I sold the last bag
****** 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 wont 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
Seems like they forgot about me
Commissary is getting empty
My cell mates gettin' 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

They won't let me out, they won't let me out
(Ohh, I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont 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

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 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)
Ohh, they won't let me out
Can you please accept my phone calls?
'Cuz I'm locked up, locked up, locked up
