Lost and Locked Lyrics

I was just a kid but I carried the weight

Pops was lost drinkin' heavy man it sealed our fate

Momma disappeared left us all alone

Had to step up protect my family standin' on my own

Little sis hungry lil' bro cryin'

I did what I could man I swear I wasn't lyin'

Out in the streets with nothin' but dreams

But the hunger was real I was breakin' at the seams

Caught in the struggle tryna survive

Riskin' it all just to stay alive

They locked me up I paid the price

But I did it for my fam woulda done it twice

In this world so cold and rough

I had to be tough though life got tough

Behind these bars I still hold on

I'll rise again I'll stay strong

I hit the block had nothin' to lose

Pockets empty I was searchin' for clues

Tried to rob a store just to feed my kin

Didn't think about the consequence the mess I was in

The sirens screamed and the lights flashed bright

I hit the ground handcuffs way too tight

Now I'm sittin' in a cell thinkin' 'bout my crime

All I wanted was food man I wasn't tryna shine

Caught in the struggle tryna survive

Riskin' it all just to stay alive

They locked me up I paid the price

But I did it for my fam woulda done it twice

In this world so cold and rough

I had to be tough though life got tough

Behind these bars I still hold on

I'll rise again I'll stay strong

Now I'm trapped but my mind's still free

Dreamin' of the day when we all break free

I ain't a villain I'm just tryin' to provide

For my blood for my kin for the ones on my side

No regrets just lessons learned

Every bruise every scar they was earned

I'll make it out this ain't the end

I'll rise from the ashes start again

Caught in the struggle tryna survive

Riskin' it all just to stay alive

They locked me up I paid the price

But I did it for my fam woulda done it twice

In this world so cold and rough

I had to be tough though life got tough

Behind these bars I still hold on

I'll rise again I'll stay strong

For my brothers for my sister I'll fight

Even in the dark I'll search for the light

They can lock my body but my soul is free

I'll come back stronger just wait and see
