[Verse 1: Booba]
J'me suis fait coffrer comme un naze, en gard'av' comme un trophée
J'déambule en ien-ch dans ma cellule
Négro j'repense au Sénégal, à l'île de Gorée
41 balles pour un contrôle, le roi de la pop décoloré
Tout l'monde y est allergique
Certains craquent, tremblent, certains se coupent les veines,certains s'pendent pour être à l'air libre
Bosser pour survivre, dealer pour vivre
Pour que tu kiffes sur l'habillage, que ta biatch kiffe l'équipe
La rue t'attends la rue te regarde
Dans mes rêves y a que des putes, hélicoptères échelles grenades
Sûr d'aller en calèche, d'y faire un p'tit stage
C'est pas du ma-nec', la taule les halls les tours de manèges
Certains figurent dans le Guinness pour leurs aller-retours
Premier sa-medi du mois ton A.D.N. dans un Kleenex
Sinon dans ma cellule, j'fais des pompes j'écris des textes, j'taf
Et sur les murs j'ai des photos d'tass'

[Bridge 1: Akon]
I'm steady trynna find a motive
Why do what I do ?
The freedom ain't gettin' no closer
No matter how far I go
My car is stolen, no registration
Cops patrollin', and now they done stop me
And I get locked up

[Hook: Akon]
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

[Verse 2: Akon]
Headin' uptown to re-up
Back with a couple keys
The corner block's on fire
Undercovers dressed as fiends
Makin' so much money
Ride up smooth and fast
Put away the stash
And as I sold the last bag fucked around
And got locked up

[Hook: Akon]
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
Baby girl I'm locked up
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

[Verse 3: Booba]
Sur terre, j'ai pû compter sur ma parole, la drogue et la daronne
745i, 9.2. izi
Tous les chemins mènent à Rome ou à Washington
Sisi j'enfile un passe-montagne, démons et anges m'accompagnent
T'es dans le coffre de la bagnole, tu payes sans faire d'chichis
Moi j'suis à Cuba, sirote un sky à la piscine
Un peu de biff la rue est bleu ciel
Prises 22 voilà les kissdés, le crime paie jusqu'à la perquis'

[Bridge 2: Akon]
Cause visitation no longer comes by
Seems like they forgot about me
Commissary is getting empty
My cellmates getting 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

[Hook: Akon]
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, they won't let me out
I'm locked up
They won't let me out , they won't let me out

[Outro: Akon]
Cause I'm locked up

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
