Locked Up

[Chorus]
Southside choppas blasting with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Sparked up a lighter, chillin with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up

[Verse 1: Hari Upfront]
A room or a cell man, what is the difference
Eat in the kitchen or cafeteria
Either way feels like I walk the same distance
Nowhere to go outside the door
Feeling like detox, never gon' finish
Out on the road, away from home
Talking with peoplе on phones or on written messagеs still feeling limited than before man it's never the same
Reading a book, play a game the whole day
But similar ways that we stay entertained
Trying new things to keep me from going insane
Exercise body or brain
Counting the days that I can escape
Play basketball, staring at walls the only way I see the paint
Above I praise
Wanting a life that matters
Swear that I'll never do wrong on my grave or my mom as long as tomorrow's better
Want a clean slate for a start when I pray to the lord
Hereditary, gotta keep my head up
Want to escape but a guard or a stay home order placed
It'll never let up
How do I end up doing time without chains, or the bars, only pressure
Biggest test of my mental tryna tame depression
Experience pain is the only lesson
Getting gains for the best or worst
Wondering just how long is death from birth
Fly just like a bird in peace it cures all the locked up thoughts in my mind
Man I need a purge

[Chorus]
Southside choppas blasting with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Sparked up a lighter, chillin with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Southside choppas blasting with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Sparked up a lighter, chillin with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up

[Verse 2: Callon B]
(Ay) Every day the same I may just fade away
I lay awake and pray I make a way
808's bang and tame the pain
Got nowhere to go low on the doe
Ima get throwed (ya ya)
I hit the cove rockin' the boat hope I can float (ya ya)
Rent due and my savings shot
Please mom I need a spot
She need a job, keep calm
Demons on me I can’t keep 'em off
True solitude is when all I do is hook up the mic and I talk to you
Hittin' you up but don’t follow through
And social distancing my excuse
When I recluse, my minds removed from existence
Feelin' frivolous mental imprisonment
Me and the public in dissonance
Numb to it waiting on stimulus (uh)
DM my friend and he wrote me back
We face to face just load an app
Than why do I still feel so detached (Hoot)
Night owl as I write how the way shit is inside out
When I lie down and I count these sheep to regain my peace
Sometimes my minds loud
My eye brows crease cuz I can’t release all of my doubts (nah)

[Chorus]
Southside choppas blasting with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Sparked up a lighter, chillin with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Southside choppas blasting with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
Sparked up a lighter, chillin with the ridah
Keep me off the edge 'till a brotha gettin' locked up
