Eminem
Locked-up
[Verse 1]
They say to protect your ass in jail
I'm gonna to have to live day by day cause my life has failed
You should know, all these monkey's have tails
I must look funky, I'm the only one who's pale
In a room full of junkies, I'm tryin' to stay stable
I used to pop Champagne but now far from way able
It's a shame I'm feeling this God damn pain that aches inside
I found that most these Lamoes are in the rap game
God I will so commit a triple homicide
Just gonna play it plain, maybe stab someone who has gay pride
I hate my old crew, they've probably fled, I know they hide
Jail birds aren't to fond of me but I'm not gonna cry
Let my mind wait, my number is nine eight, 'least I have a fine slate
I'm watchin' them do evil slumbers, I may possibly die
I call these falls my brothers, they always want a fight
I never fucked with rubber, now I need an eraser for my life

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it)
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!)
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

[Verse 2]
The Mirror says I'm disgusting, that feels me with rage
I have this ugly shell look at me when I take centre stage
I tell them that I've got the heat and that I'm cooking
I want to bread more than wheat, no one knows if I'll break
I'll bust everyone's head and dump them in a Lake
My blood pressure is through the Roof, I've lost my footing
For 4 years, that is how fucking long I have been here
Cause I've been blessed with a quick ear, I hear things a bit clear
I was originally beefing but now it's War
So come at me speaking, I'll knock you down to the floor
Meanies come at me like "boo", you gotta bring more
Ya'll jealous, I'm hotter than a lotta whores
They are just waiting for me to be the worlds King for a second time
I'm careless when it comes to a son's bitch who's hairless
Or when they're shooting nines, doing a line
Still tryin' to get back in the swing and earn that bling
Been spying and peeps are denying that I did the Gang thing
I have just heard on the news about Columbine
Sad I missed it, I could have came along for the ride
Walls surround me, I have started kissing the Ground
Should I attack all the N***a's that rep their Town?
I already have, I murdered them without a sound
No one knows, not even the Police who I call Clowns
In four weeks my cell mate gets a release, I will get no peace
I've got all this stress hate that is fuckin built in me
We used to have dope talks like "we use to be rich, didn't we"?
He was in this bitch for killing G's
If you've lost your patience then I'll send you to a foreign nation

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it)
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!)
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

[Verse 3]
I'm still locked-up here with only one year to go
It's a shame they keep asking if they want the juice though
I've got the nickname of Glass king, I could see through Snow
I've been killed with a quick aim while screamin' "You've been schooled yo"
But most of these plunders are gleaming at random TV's
I'm left to sit here and wonder will he be free
My new cell mate is always beaming while dreaming
His face lights up when his spittin fire about scheming
I make him smile with my stile while, givin' beatin's
Rats that live in the crawl space, get them before they start teaming
Make their bodies go splat, where I'm at is the absolute worse
Fuck ups and mistakes can happen, that's why I'm livin' with snakes first
Bats burst shoddy shotty posse's while they're heeping I'll fucking kill them pricks for briefing and peeking
Even though people say leave em', I take Steven
He tried to kill my mate so I guess he'll rape me then
It's a damn shame my life is practically a fuckin' curse
I'm in too deep, I look a lot like two fat men
But my time is nearly up cause I'll soon be in a hurse
I fucked this life, I want to turn a slut into a nurse
It's too late for me, just thinking bout my drinking prob' gives me chills
I admit, I should of kept my mouth shut, I hate how I feel
All I want to do is inspire those who were just like me
Who have no meals but a fire in their gut and say "fight me"

[Outro]
Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it)
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!)
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year (sing it)
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear (Come on!)
Sing it with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
