Locked Up
Akon Ft. Savage Lyrics

Heading uptown to re-up (re-up)
Back with a couple keys (keys)
The corner block's on fire (fire)
Undercovers dressed as fiends (fiends)
Making so much money (money)
Product's moving fast (fast)
Put away the stash
As I sold the last bag
Fucked around and got locked up

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 won't let me out (I got locked up)
They won't let me out
They won't let me out (baby girl, I'm Glocked up)
They won't let me out, no
They won't let me out

'Cause visitation no longer comes by (comes by)
Seems like they forgot about me ('bout me)
Commissary is getting empty (empty)
My cell mates eating 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 (oh, 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 (oh, oh, oh, yeah, I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, no
They won't let me out

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)
Pay me a visit, baby (they won't let me out)
'Cause 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 out of here (they won't let me out)
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 niggas on the block? Tell them I'm locked up
(They won't let me out)
I'm locked up (they won't let me out)
Oh (they won't let me out, no)

Can you please accept my phone call? (They won't let me out)
'Cause I'm locked up (locked up, locked up)

The song "Locked Up" by Akon featuring Savage portrays a story of a person who has been arrested and locked up. The singer is trying to find a motive behind their actions, questioning why they did the things that led them to their incarceration. They express their frustration as freedom seems to be getting further away from them despite their attempts to move closer towards it. The singer details how they ended up in jail -- first getting stopped by cops due to driving a stolen car without proper registration papers, and then getting arrested for drug dealing. As they serve their sentence, they talk about the loneliness of being forgotten by those on the outside and the lack of daily necessities like food and money orders. The song concludes with the singer asking for help from visitors, lawyers, and friends to get them out of their locked-up situation.

I'm steady tryna find the motive
I am constantly searching for the reason behind my actions

Freedom ain't getting no closer (closer) No matter how far I go
Despite my efforts, I am unable to gain my freedom

My car is stolen, (stolen) no registration ('stration) Cops patrollin' (patrollin') Now they done stop me and I get locked up
I was driving a stolen car without valid registration and the police stopped me, resulting in my arrest and imprisonment

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 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 am frustrated and desperate to be released from prison, but the authorities are not granting me parole

Heading uptown to re-up (re-up) Back with a couple keys (keys) The corner block's on fire (fire) Undercovers dressed as fiends (fiends) Making so much money (money) Product's moving fast (fast) Put away the stash As I sold the last bag Fucked around and got locked up
I was in the business of drug dealing, and got caught by undercover police officers while trying to sell my last product

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 won't let me out (I got locked up) They won't let me out They won't let me out (baby girl, I'm Glocked up) They won't let me out, no They won't let me out
My friends and loved ones are sympathetic but powerless to help me get released from prison

'Cause visitation no longer comes by (comes by) Seems like they forgot about me ('bout me) Commissary is getting empty (empty) My cell mates 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
I feel abandoned by those I know, and am struggling to cope with the conditions of prison. I have a support system that wants me to live a positive life but my mistakes have led me here

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) Pay me a visit, baby (they won't let me out) 'Cause I'm locked up (they won't let me out) Wheres my lawyer? (They won't let me out) I'm locked up (they won't let me out, no) Get me out of here (they won't let me out) 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 niggas on the block? Tell them I'm locked up (They won't let me out) I'm locked up (they won't let me out) Oh (they won't let me out, no) Can you please accept my phone call? (They won't let me out) 'Cause I'm locked up (locked up, locked up)
I am pleading for help and support from anyone who will listen, including loved ones, lawyers, and friends on the outside. I desperately want to be released and resume my life, but am trapped in the prison system
