  • 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 samedi du mois ton ADN 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', kho

    I'm steady trynna find a motive (motive)
    Why do what I do? (Okay)
    'Cause freedom ain't gettin' no closer (closer)
    No matter how far I go
    My car is stolen (stolen) no registration ('tration)
    Cops patrollin' (patrollin') and now they done stop me
    And I get locked up

    They won't let me out, they won't let me out
    'Cause 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 no, they won't let me out

    I'm headin' uptown to re-up (re-up)
    Back with a couple keys (keys)
    The corner block's on fire (fire)
    Undercovers dressed as fiends (fiends)
    Makin' so much money (money)
    Ride up smooth and fast (fast)
    Put away the stash (stash)
    And as I sold the last bag fucked around
    And got locked up

    They won't let me out, they won't let me out
    I got 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
    Baby girl I'm locked up
    They won't let me out no (B2O) they won't let me out

    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'

    'Cause visitation no longer comes by (kho, comes by)
    Seems like they forgot about me ('bout me)
    Commissary is getting empty (empty)
    My cellmates getting 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'm here locked up

    They won't let me out, they won't let me out
    I got locked up
    They won't let me out no, they won't let me out
    Baby girl I'm locked up
    They won't let me out (oh, oh, oh) they won't let me out
    Baby I'm locked up
    They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

    So can you pay me 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)
    And pay me a visit baby (they won't let me out)

    'Cause I'm locked up
    (Sénégal, Sénégal) they won't let me out
    Now where's my lawyer
    They won't let me out (Akon, B2O kho)
    Said I'm locked up
    They won't let me out (sisi) no, they won't let me out

    'Cause I'm locked up, locked up Writer/s: Aliaune Thiam
