(verse 1-t.a.z)
Locked Up In H.m.p
Its Gonna Be Four Long Years Before I Hit D'em Streets
23 Hour Bang Up, Without Association, In My Cell Doing Push Ups, Reading Books, Meditation,
Now I?m Headin To The County Gotta Do A Bit Here
My Daughters Two Now, She'll Be Seven When I Get Released
Random, Stop, Search, Police Caught Me With A Piece
The Phones Is Broke The Food Is Garbage
Everyday This Cell Seems To Get A Litle Smaller, I Cant Breath
My Lady Aint Waitin Dude I Know Shes About To Leave
Im Havin Fights In My Cell Without No Ref
Be Careful Coz The Same Guy Might Be The Canteen Chef
Im Pissed 24 7
Everybody Talks What They Gon Do When The Come Out
But While I?m In Here My Time Might Run Out
When The Police Stopped Me I Shoulda Pulled My Gun Out
Made The Stolen Car Skid Til It Spun Out
Instead I?m In Here And My Times Gunna Run Out

(verse 2-akon)
Im Steady Tryna Find A Motive,
Why Do What I Do?,
Freedom Aint 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 Locke'd Up,

[chorus-akon]
They Won't Let Me Out, They Won't Let Me Out, (im Locked Up)
They Won't Let Me Out No, They Wont Let Me Out, (im Locked Up)
They Won't Let Me Out, They Won't Let Me Out, (im Locked Up)
They Won't Let Me Out No, They Won't Let Me Out

(verse 3-akon)
Headin Up Town To....,
Back With A Couple....,
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 Locke'd Up

[chorus]

(verse 4- Styles P)
Now That I?m Locke'd Up
I Rap To Set So
Ima Ride And Die
And Stay D Blocked Up
Two Toothbrushes Up
Who Ever Wanted With P
When I Walk By .... Get Up
Cuz I?m Locke'd Up They Can't Get Me Out
I Smoke A Stick Of .... When They Stress Me Out
Go And Hit The Bar When The Rex Be Out
Can't Wait For The Day That They Let Me Out

(verse 5- Akon)
Cuz Visitation No Longer Comes By,
Seems Like They Forgot About Me,
Commissary Is Getting Empty,
My Cell Mates 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

[chorus]

Cuz I?m Locke'd Up, Locke'd Up, Locke'd Up
