Locked up, they won't let me out
I thought I was sane, but now I got my doubts
It's too bad no-one knows the harm love can do
Now I'm under lock and key, far away from my crew
I'm sitting here bored, in this mental health ward
Don't they know who I am? Nope, I'm getting ignored
Trying to stay cool but inside I feel fear, damn
I'm only 20 man, can't afford to be here
Being led by the hand, as they show me my dorm
A place where violent fights are considered the norm
Trying to forget that I'm feeling alarm
I need to keep my image, so I gotta act calm
As a fight breaks out, all the nurses seem stressed
Can't they keep control? This is getting me vexed
As I gaze out the window, I'm filled with despair
Seems my dreams have disappeared, replaced by nightmares
CHORUS - AKON
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
Now I'm locked inside, it's strange how time flies
Am I going insane? This I can't deny
Surviving in here? Best believe it's a fight
From the moment I wake, to my last breath at night
I'm not acting stuck-up, but it's hard to make friends
Seems I only depend on my book and my pen
Still keeping it real, I'm in my own little zone
Constant outbursts daily, barely stifle a moan
Now I'm locked up, nothing I can do
Know I can't escape, these chances are few
Stick around, bide my time, as I'm writing these rhymes
I'ma keep my head down, in these turbulent times
It's taking all my strength, not to scream and run
My parent's ain't here, they're ignoring their son
Nurses call this a dorm, but believe it's a cell
Yo, staying in here is like a personal hell
CHORUS - AKON
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
Tried to stay calm, tried to keep my nose clean
Too bad in this world, things ain't what they seem
A man stole my book, and that's all it took
For me to lose my cool, hit him with a left hook
It took a half hour before they dragged me away
Put me in solitary, now what's left to say?
Two months now gone, I'm before the board
Screaming "Let me out!" but I'm being ignored
They all stare at me, I got tears in my eyes
All I hear are two words - "Application Denied"
CHORUS - AKON
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
I thought I was sane, but now I got my doubts
It's too bad no-one knows the harm love can do
Now I'm under lock and key, far away from my crew
