Locked up

Locked up they won't let me out,
I don't even know what it's all about,
Leave me in here,
Without giving me a care,
Not even asking if I'm okay,
Just pass by my cell every single day,
This can't go on no longer,
Their arms, feet, and hands are stronger,
My faith is running dry,
Sometimes I want to cry,
But I look deep in my heart,
And realize from the start,
That I am a man,

With a light skin tan,

Why am i caged up by what you think,
By what you care,

By what I wear,

By what I give,

By what I deal,

Or how I feel,

For some reason I stay cheesin,

It is a new day,

it is a new season,
I am locked up,
But they will let me out.
