Locked Up/ Freedom
Locked Up/ Freedom
It's almost time
The time has come
Only a few months
And my time will be done
Feet tied with shackles
Hands tied behind my back
Ears throbbing from screaming
Mind worthless because I'm black
MM HUH YEAH BUT
Only a few more months
And, yep, it's almost time
It's been plenty of years
Since I did my crime
Head hung down
Once committed,my heart was scorn
Yes, I did a crime
And that was being born
BUT HEY
It's almost time
And no I won't be no fool
Yes, the time has come
For me to graduate from school
I'm ready to walk to the judge
I'm ready to hear the birds sing
I'm ready, I'm ready
For my freedom to ring
