"Locked Up" lyrics

"Locked Up"
(feat. Taz & Styles)

Yeah
Check, check, check
Yeah

Locked up in HMP
It's gonna be four long years before I hit them streets
Twenty-three hour bang up with no association
In my cell, doing push-up
Reading books, meditation

My daughter's two now
She'll be seven when I get released
Random, stop search
Police caught me with a piece
Every day this cell seems to get a little smaller
I can't breathe
My lady ain't waiting
You done know she's 'bout to leave

I'm having fights in my cell without no ref'
Be careful, 'cause the same guy might be the canteen chef
I'm pissed 24/7
Everybody talks about what they're gon' do when they come out
But while I'm in here, my time might run out
When the police stopped me
I should've pulled my gun out
And made the stolen car skid 'til it spun out
Instead, I'm in here and my time's gonna run out (Fuck)

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 ('stration)
Cops patrolling (Patrolling)
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 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

Heading uptown to re-up (Re-up, re-up)
Back with a couple keys (Keys)
The corner block's on fire (Fire)
Undercovers dressed as fiends (Fiends)
Making so much money (Money)
Product's moving fast (Fast)
Put away the stash
And 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
I'm locked up
They won't let me out
No, they won't let me out

Now that I'm locked up, I rep two sets so
I'm a ride-or-die and stay D-Blocked up (D-Block)
(I'm a ride-or-die)
Two toothbrushes up
Whoever want it with P
When I walk by nigga, get up (Get up)
'Cause I'm locked up (Locked up)
They can't get me out (Uh-uh)
I smoke a stick of haze when they stress me out
Go and hit the bar when the wrecks be out
Can't wait for the day when they let me out (Yeah)

'Cause visitation no longer comes by (Comes by)
It seems like they forgot about me (About me)
Commissary is getting empty (Empty)
My cellmates 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 nigga, I'm locked up
They won't let me out
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
They won't let me out
Baby, I'm locked up
They won't let me out
No, they won't let me out

I'm locked up
Locked up (Locked up)
