The Case of William Smith (DANCEHALLHORNSOUND!!!! Remix) Lyrics

[Astronautalis]
Outside my cell there is an oak that grows
Through the fence line and towards the sun

They built a barrier of barbs flush but against its bark
And still its burls unfurled into branches strong

Silver thorns that hem in my hole
Snare me here through sun and snow
Barbs may scar but cannot stop the mighty oak

Burgeoning upward and out
This figure made out
The persistence happening made
Stopped by its daggered escape route

It finally stands tall
The limbs will make the fence fall
The slowest getaway car
That the guard ever saw

The warden scratches his bald patches
Raised his arms in the air
And wondered how this happened
Despite his decades to prepare

In this I found the faith
You'd see my sentence a mistake
Discharge me from this place
And reinstate me in your grace

The truth will set you free one day
My father promised me
But I'd never thought
The truth could come this way, quite honestly

[Akon]
And I get 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 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

[Verse 2]
If you'd have told me back then
That the words from my pen
Would've branded me a paynim
I'd have never changed a damn thing

I'm sure it's shocking to your ears
That the treatise you revere
Would suffer such assessment
At the stylus of a confrere

But I am more than well aware
Of how you all were unprepared
To stare into the sun
As a means to pick apart its flares

With my covenant in question
And career upon the line
I suffer your reckless sanctions
With a clarity of mind

The charges that you lay
Against my character and faith
Will burden you with shame
When you face the Prince in paradise

He knows as well as I
That the heralds can carol flat songs
The refrain rate's familiar
But the words just seem a tad wrong

God is just a breath away
He lives a kiss from your lips
While the message can mutate as it
Drifts from mount to chisel tips

So this is it
My suffering sings its swan song
Suspicion sets me sovereign
From restriction of your sad bonds

Edit me from existence
Based on continuity
May the Lord be always in your footsteps
To document your lunacy

[Akon]
And I get 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 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)
‘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 outta here (They won't let me out)
I'm locked up, they won't let me out
