Song:Locked Up
Artist:Akon
[AKON]
I'm steady tryna find a motive¹,
Why do what I do?
Freedom aint gettin no closer,
No matter how far I go,
My car is stolen, no registration²,
Cops patrolin, and now they done stop me,
And I get locked up,

[Chorus]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont³ 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

[Akon]
Headin up town to ria,
Back with a couple peeps,
Caught a blocks on fire,
Under covers dressed as fiends,
Makin so much money,
Ride up smooth and fast,
Put away the stash⁴,
And as I sold the last bag fucked around and got locked up

[CHORUS]
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 wont 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

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]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out,
(ohhh I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont 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 no, they won't let me out

Maybe a visit (they won't let me out)
Send me some magazines (they won't let me out)
Send me some money orders (they won't let me out, no)
Maybe a visit baby (they won't let me out)
Cuz I'm locked up, they won't let me out.
Where's my lawyer? (they won't let me out)
I'm locked up, they won't let me out, no.
Get me outta here (they won't let me out)
I'm locked up, they won't let me out, they won't let me out.
Baby I'm locked up they won't let me out, no
Where's my niggaz?
On the lock-down.
Damn, I'm locked up, they won't let me out.
I'm locked up, they won't let me out.
Ohhh... they won't let me out.
Can you please accept my phone calls?
Cuz I'm locked up, locked up, locked up.
翻译：
我冷静地搜寻目标 .
为什么.. 我到底在做什么?
自由不会陪伴我 . 我无所谓
有多远 走多远.
我的车被偷了 竟没做任何登记
警察对我不公平..
而现在 他们却囚禁了我..

我被关起来了! 他们不会放我出去..
我被关起来了!

被押着经过街道
我低着头往回走
迎着一对夫妇刺耳的挖苦声..
街头角落窜起的一场火覆天盖地..
燃烧着它的虚伪..
好多钱.. 我做了好多! 它们被快速转移-
藏在阴暗处.. 当我准备将它们买掉时
那 那该死的狗叫声他妈的包围了我
我被关起来了!

没有机会了...它不会在经过我身边..
像是所有人都将我遗忘.. 超市空得好可怕....
我的伙计忙者分享酒肉
却不给我一点碎肉残渣..
不能等到出来的那天了.. 我生命没了希望 ....
那一个爱我的家 ... 相信我可以我可以做得好
但是..
我却被关起来了 ...
他们不会放我出去!
我被关起来了!
我的黑人同胞啊..我被关起来了!
能让我打一个电话吗!
我被关起来了
