Lyrics

Ooh... yeah
Oh-woah, oh
Locked down, they won't let me out
Steel gates slam when I scream and shout
Mama's tears hit the floor when she hear my doubt
Oldies playin' low while I walk this route
Locked down, they won't let me free (Ooh)
Cold world took a young life from me
From the hood to the cell where the nights don't sleep (Ooh)
Know the soul still strong, but the pain run deep
Judge read numbers like they didn't mean years
Mama lost her breath, I was fightin' back tears
County blues turned to state reds fast
One bad chapter turned into a long past
Old school love songs echo in my head (Ooh)
Thinkin' 'bout the life that I could've led
Homies faded out, some dead, some gone (Ooh)
Some locked in the same cage singin' this song
I was taught, "Be solid, never fold, never tell"
But they never told me how to live in a cell
Now I pace concrete, twenty-three and one
Prayin' to God just to feel the sun
Locked down, they won't let me out (Ooh)
Steel gates slam when I scream and shout
Mama's tears hit the floor when she hear my doubt (Ooh)
Oldies playin' low while I walk this route
Locked down, they won't let me free (Ooh)
Cold world took a young life from me
From the hood to the cell where the nights don't sleep (Ooh)
Know the soul still strong, but the pain run deep
Death row silent, but the pressure loud
Some waitin' on appeals, some lost and proud
Last phone calls, last prayer at night
Some don't see mornin', only bars and light
Met a lifer been down since Reagan days
Said, "Hope comes slow in a thousand ways"
He said, "Son, don't let the hate eat your soul
These walls already took control"
Some guilty, some not, but they all feel pain
Same cold tray, same wrists with chains
We more than a file or a DOC name
Still got blood in our hearts, still feel shame
Lord, hear me through these iron doors
I been on my knees on this cold floor
If I don't walk free on these streets again
Let my voice reach the youth before they sink in
Send peace to the mothers who wait on calls
And mercy to the souls behind these walls
I ain't glorifyin' cells or the life I lived
Just tellin' young soldiers what the system give
Fast money fade, but the years stay long
When your freedom gone and the nights feel wrong
Know the roots deep, still stand on truth
But I'd trade all pride just to save the youth
If my past turned pain into somethin' real
Let it be the reason another kid heal
Oldies still play while I count these days
Tryna find peace in a righteous way
Locked down, they won't let me out
Steel gates slam when I scream and shout, oh
Mama still prayin' through the pain and doubt, oh
Oldies playin' low 'til I fade out
Locked down, they won't let me go (Ooh)
Prayin' for the lifers and the row down low
If freedom don't come, let my story be told
Through these northern oldies, heart never cold
