Life's hardest moments can shape us in profound ways, especially when our loved ones are taken from us or separated by prison walls. In this deeply personal track, Tee Grizzley shares his raw emotional journey through family tragedy and incarceration. His mother and brother are in prison, his father was killed, and these circumstances have left deep emotional scars. Despite the pain, he's managed to achieve success, though it comes with its own challenges – people who ignored him when he had nothing now criticize him for showing off his wealth. The song also touches on the cycle of violence and loss in his community, with references to deceased friends and family members. Through it all, Grizzley maintains contact with his incarcerated brother and stays vigilant, having learned hard lessons from others' mistakes.
Locked Up
Lyrics
Gotta laugh to keep from crying, dawg
My mama locked, but she strong
My pops got popped, now he gone
Lil' bro locked, told him hold on, oh
My mama locked up
My pops got popped up
Lil' bro still locked up
And it got me fucked up
And when they see you without no cheese, they ain't gon' count ya
But they gon' hate and call you fake soon as you count up
My mama locked up
My pops got popped up
Lil' bro still locked up
And it got me fucked up
Yeah when they see you without no cheese, they ain't gon' count ya
But they gon' hate and call you fake soon as you count up
I lost my pops, that was my spine
Like why the good ones gotta die?
Right after that I did that time
On my mama, I think God heard me crying
'Cause I ran up a check
They say be humble but I gotta flex
Driving a foreign like I'm tryna wreck
I lost my nigga so I keep the TEC
You fucked me over, bitch, you gon' regret it
You can't get my heart, my heart is in heaven
With my niggas that I lost
Free my brother, I need my dawg
My mama locked up
My pops got popped up
Lil' bro still locked up
And it got me fucked up
And when they see you without no cheese, they ain't gon' count ya
But they gon' hate and call you fake soon as you count up
My mama locked up
My pops got popped up
Lil' bro still locked up
And it got me fucked up
Yeah when they see you without no cheese, they ain't gon' count ya
But they gon' hate and call you fake soon as you count up
I just missed my mama call and I can't call her back
Love hearing lil' bro voice, I keep my dawg on track
Call you when I land, lil' bro, I'm flyin' back
He been writin' these letters, niggas ain't writin' back
I was locked up with this nigga, had life he said
Don't be stupid, young nigga
Keep that thing close, pray you never gotta use it, young nigga
I ain't never comin' home, make sure you do it, my nigga
'Cause I been in here going through it, my nigga
Cuz got killed showin' up unannounced so I don't do pop ups
Unc' got killed smoking his weed so I don't do ganja
Nigga run up on me too quick, I'ma lift that Glock up
'Cause my head fucked up
Too many niggas dyin', too many niggas locked up
My mama locked up
My pops got popped up
Lil' bro still locked up
And it got me fucked up
And when they see you without no cheese, they ain't gon' count ya
But they gon' hate and call you fake soon as you count up
My mama locked up
My pops got popped up
Lil' bro still locked up
And it got me fucked up
Yeah when they see you without no cheese, they ain't gon' count ya
But they gon' hate and call you fake soon as you count up
They say be humble but I gotta flex
Driving a foreign like I'm tryna wreck
Tell me be humble but I gotta flex
Driving a foreign like I'm tryna wreck
I came from nothing now I got a check
I came from nothing now I got a check
'Member niggas ain't writin' me back
'Member niggas ain't writin' me back
Now that they got they hand out
Can't do shit with that
Gang
