Locked Up - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

These bars they don’t break, they were built by the business

And the thing is I get multiple wounds when I try to break free

And it inhibits the flow of my mind, must I mimic the gimmick?

Misogynistic politics, hours a day every day of the week

They limit my writing, my freedom of speech

Locked up, hide the key

I can feel these walls closing in on me

Locked up, hide the key

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna

Say goodbye now to the weekends

Say goodbye to all the songs that you’ve been singing

Say hello now to the deep end

Sell your soul just to keep yourself from sinking

Say goodbye now to the weekends

Say goodbye to all the songs that you’ve been singing

Say hello now to the deep end

Sell your soul just to keep yourself from sinking

I’ll hit 'em with backbeats until they feel bruises

Don’t care what they say 'cause I know what the news is

Take all the critics, hang them by nooses

Fucked in the head, all my screws have been loosened

And while they’re taking integrity, we’ll be repping it harder

When the others are giving in, die by our music 'cause we are the martyrs

Locked up, hide the key

I can feel these walls closing in on me

Locked up, hide the key

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna

Say goodbye now to the weekends

Say goodbye to all the songs that you’ve been singing

Say hello now to the deep end

Sell your soul just to keep yourself from sinking

Say goodbye now to the weekends

Say goodbye to all the songs that you’ve been singing

Say hello now to the deep end

Sell your soul just to keep yourself from sinking

(Bye now, bye now, bye now

Bye now, bye now, bye now)

I don’t wanna feel like I need to lie

Tonight to make you play this all the way (way)

I don’t wanna feel like I need to lie

Tonight to make you play this all the way
