[Verse 1: 6ix9ine]
All this time that I spent up in here
Got me thinkin' 'bout the things that I did
Got me thinkin' like, "Why the fuck I did that?"
Got me wishin' that I could take it all back
Fighting with these demons, barely even eatin'
Barely even sleepin', this shit got me tweakin'
Fighting with my lawyers for a better offer
Just wanna see my daughter, 'cause
[Chorus: Akon]
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
I'm locked up, they won't let me out
Never thought I'd be caught up in the streets, yeah
Locked up, they won't let me out
No, they won't let me out
[Verse 2: 6ix9ine]
Havin' dreams about livin' my life
I've been havin' dreams about bein' outside
I've been, little baby girl, please, don't cry, no
Please don't, no, no
No, no, no, no no (No)
Mama said, "Hold my hand, no crying, no"
Know these niggas wanna take my life, (I know)
Little baby boy, please, don't die, (I know)
And I'm like, no, no
No, no, no, no (No)
Tell me why, tell me how I really love these niggas
Tell me why, tell me why would I trust these niggas
Hearin' voices in my head, sayin', "Fuck these niggas"
My niggas, my niggas, these ain't my niggas
They gon' say what they gon' say, nigga, yeah, I know
They can say what they want, they don't know what I know
Ain't nothin' you can tell me 'bout this life I chose
I was facin' forty-seven to life
[Chorus: Akon]
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
I'm locked up, they won't let me out
Never thought I'd be caught up in the streets, yeah
Locked up, they won't let me out
No, they won't let me out
[Verse 3: Akon]
I'm still tryna find that motive
Of why I did what I did
I didn't wanna feel that struggle
Just wanted to hurry up and get rich
And while that money piled up
Jealous niggas askin' questions, "Why not us?" Yeah
And when you get caught up, nobody wants to seem to be a rider, yeah
Everybody wanna talk the street code
But only follow when convenient for them
They quick to tell you that they ride for you, die for you
But quick to bite the hand that feeds them
[Verse 4: 6ix9ine & Akon]
I know I can't keep lovin' you (Loving you)
I know I can't keep trustin' you (Trustin' you)
I put my life in front of you (I put my whole life)
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
This shit get complicated, ah (Complicated)
My blood, thought you was ride or die (Ride or die)
I was just tryna change your life (Tryna change your life)
But you had something else in mind (Something else in mind)
[Outro: Akon]
Yeah
Something else in mind, yeah
I'm locked up
All this time that I spent up in here
Got me thinkin' 'bout the things that I did
Got me thinkin' like, "Why the fuck I did that?"
Got me wishin' that I could take it all back
Fighting with these demons, barely even eatin'
Barely even sleepin', this shit got me tweakin'
Fighting with my lawyers for a better offer
Just wanna see my daughter, 'cause
[Chorus: Akon]
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
I'm locked up, they won't let me out
Never thought I'd be caught up in the streets, yeah
Locked up, they won't let me out
No, they won't let me out
