How does this work?
Caution: You are now annotating this song as
[Verse 1 - Akon]
I'm steady tryin' to find the motive, why I do what I do
Freedom ain't gettin' no closer, no matter how far I go
My car is stolen, no registration
Cops patrolin' and now they done stop me, and I get locked up

[Hook]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out
I'm locked up

[Verse 2]
Heading uptown to re-up
Back with a couple peeps
Corner block's on fire
Undercovers dressed as fiends
Making so much money
Ride up smooth and fast
Put away the stash
And as I sold the last bag, fucked around and got locked up

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Cause visitation no longer comes by
Seems like they forgot about me
Commissary is getting empty
My cellmates getting food without me
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead I'm here locked up

[Outro]
Maybe a visit, send me some magazines
Send me some money orders, maybe a visit baby
Cause I'm locked up, they won't let me out
Wheres my lawyer, where's my niggas on the lock-down
Can you please accept my phone calls
Cause I'm locked up
Listen
About Locked Up

The Smoking Gun gave Akon a hard time — labeling him “Fakon” — based on the quasi-fictional ex-convict identity Akon built around this, his first hit song

Meanwhile, countless thousands of convicts have declared that this song gave them peace, solace and a sense of kinship while they were serving time in prison
