Sittin here in the belly of the beast (belly of the beast)

C-Murder (Momma grieve for your baby)[in the background repeated]

Trapped in crime behind bars (T-R-U)

I'm locked up, ain't no love

They won't let me out

Think they testin me (this world's so sure)

Check this out



[Verse 1]



Incarcerated, eliminated I sure hate it

It's hard labour for life thats what the judge stated

Dieg trippin and shady I think he wanna kill me

Talk to my cell everytime I'm mad I know he feel me but baby

I moved on you can keep the pictures

That's my girl she left me she ain't keep it real wit me

Now I'm stressin I need a victim so I can hit him

and 30 days in the hole is cold, but watch me ride wit him

I'm steady tryin to find the motive (motive)

Why do what I do?

The freedom ain't gettin no closer (closer)

No matter how far I go

My car is stolen (stolen)

No registration

The cops patrollin (patrollin)

Now that ain't stopped me and I get



[Chorus]

Locked up

They won't let me out (locked up) [x2]

They won't let me out no, they won't let me out (they got me botched up)

They won't let me out (locked up) [x2]

They won't let me out no (caught up)

I'm locked up but they can't stop us



[Verse 2]

Some more visits and ripe chickens across the border

Whats your number I'm hurtin let me get a money boarder?

I owe my lawyer some change now he might drop the case

Now if my player don't shake it I might hop the gate

Starin at these walls I'm fallin he set my court date back

Payback when I shake back and cop a mate back

I'm eatin things and lusting on kings, magazines

It seems, I'm home free but it was just dream, damn



[Chorus]

Locked up

They won't let me out (locked up) [x2]

They won't let me out no, they won't let me out (they got me botched up)

They won't let me out (locked up) [x2]

They won't let me out no (caught up)

I'm locked up but they can't stop us



[Hook]

Visitation no longer comes by (comes by)

Seems like they forgot about me (about me)

Commissary is gettin empty (empty)

Cell mates eatin 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 get locked up



[Verse 3]

I'm spreadin my gangs cause I'm straight done in like a gangbanger

Don't play no games and mess around and get shanked with the hanger

That's how I'm comin and I do my dirt and stick and move

Tears tattoed a head busta walkin in these shoes

Snitches workin with the Warden

Eyes open and scopin and these humps I'm smokin, got my lungs chokin

I'm the big dog on the blocks, I got 2-for-1's

and 21 (5) with a L I'm hopeless son I'm locked up



[Chorus x3]
