Locked Up

[Verse] Locked up No way out Feeling the heat Pete got caught up Too much weed in the street Penitentiary walls Closing in Can't breathe The price he paid for breaking that sticky green creed [Verse 2] Pete was a hustler Rolling deep Making stacks But when the sirens blared He couldn't react Handcuffed On his knees Face down in defeat The judge hammered the gavel Now he's facing the concrete [Chorus] Locked up Locked up Can't escape this pain In the penitentiary Pete's life won't be the same Locked up Locked up Feeling the strain Behind these prison walls He'll never be free again [Verse] Locked behind bars Can't see the stars Pete's spending time in the penitentiary yard Lost in a world of darkness No hope in sight Struggling and fighting Just to survive the night [Verse 2] Brick walls surround him No way to escape Regret fills his heart A lifetime of mistakes But Pete's got dreams He's got a burning fire Gonna rise above the ashes Reach higher and higher [Chorus] Locked up Locked up Can't escape this pain In the penitentiary Pete's life won't be the same Locked up Locked up Feeling the strain Behind these prison walls He'll never be free again
