Locked Up Victim

Im a locked up victim

Who has done nothing wrong

they acuse me and abuse me

because of my skin tone

Im a locked up victim

with no hope to hold onto 

why cant they unlock the gate 

that keeps me from you?

Im a locked up victim 

with knowledge filled with lies

and on the outside im smiling

but im crying on the inside

Im a locked up victim

with a crime not yet justified

because while the criminal is out

im stuck here doing time.
