Lyrics

Verse 1
Still searching for the reason why,
Caught up in a game I can't deny,
Freedom’s just a shadow, fading far,
No matter where I run, there’s still these bars.
My ride’s gone, no papers in my hand,
Cops on the watch, they made their stand,
Now I’m behind these cold, hard gates,
Locked away, trapped by fate.
Chorus
They won’t let me out, no, they won’t let me free,
Locked inside, can’t break away from what they see,
They won’t let me out, though I’m begging on my knees,
This cage is tight, but hope’s the only key.
Verse 2
Uptown streets where deals go down,
Quick moves, shadows all around,
Money changing hands, fast and cold,
But now my story’s getting old.
The stash is gone, last bag sold,
Behind these walls, my heart feels cold,
See the world through barred out eyes,
Dreaming of the day I rise.
Chorus
They won’t let me out, no, they won’t let me free,
Locked inside, can’t break away from what they see,
They won’t let me out, though I’m begging on my knees,
This cage is tight, but hope’s the only key.
Bridge
Visitation fades to none,
Forgotten like the setting sun,
Empty trays and silent nights,
Still I hold on to my fight.
Family waiting on the other side,
Love’s the reason I survive,
Though these walls try to confine,
My soul won’t lose its shine.
Chorus
They won’t let me out, no, they won’t let me free,
Locked inside, can’t break away from what they see,
They won’t let me out, though I’m begging on my knees,
This cage is tight, but hope’s the only key.
Outro
Can you hear me through this pain?
Send your love like summer rain,
Get me out, just set me free,
One day soon, I’ll be with me.
