The Punishment (Lockdown) - Tech N9ne

Lyrics by：Aaron D. Yates/John P. Winkler

Composed by：Aaron D. Yates/John P. Winkler

You gon' stay your in this house

And the only way you goin' outside this house

Is takin out the trash or goin' to work

Lockdown

Ain't nobody finna see me if they knock now

Crack the window a little bit to hear the block sounds

On the punishment the punishment

On pop's ground ain't no opps round no

Man 15 this seem big mean but

Did things brings clipped wings

Trouble in school I'm on punishment

Phonk in the hood I'm on punishment

That is the sum of it fun it is none of it why

'Cause I'm on dumb and dumber

Whenever my hopes found it

I got used to how nope sounded

In the gutter we eat peanut butter and wheat

'Bout die from a choke sandwich

No parties no pounded

'Cause this Summer I'm so grounded

I'll be stuck at that addy because my step daddy

Will never promote clown round this

If you move dumb many rules come

Fakes and fools run he a Muslim

That mean I'm stranded

On a block in the city of Kansas

Locked in like I'm some bandit

And I don't under stand it

Lockdown

Ain't nobody finna see me if they knock now

Crack the window a little bit to hear the block sounds

On the punishment the punishment

On pop's ground ain't no opps round no

Step dad is Muslim mama is devout

Christian

At night when they both sleepin I sneak out

Missin

Fridays at midnight on Troost

If you break or pop the light on you

Do my routine real quick

Then I'm on a reroute mission

Back to the pad wake up go ta work wit dad

He owns the steak n take 18th and Vine

Every day I work my off

Steaks and fish he had taught

Me to cook then pass off

Still when we get home the punishment's on

I see no asphalt

Dinner time I asked if it's

Alright to invite a friend

Since I did so well at work he

Looked at me then he gave a grin

He said nobody no friend

But on your work day I commend

And if you keep sneakin out next Summer

You'll be on punishment again damn

Lockdown

Ain't nobody finna see me if they knock now

Crack the window a little bit to hear the block sounds

On the punishment the punishment

On pop's ground ain't no opps round no

Now I'm thinkin why I was stuck for the whole Summer

He knew my neighborhood was deadly and had mo drama

The times I thought he was being

Mean he really was so fond of

Both mama and me

And I quote these words I spoke are wrote in your honor

He knew my friends was getting shot

Havin run ins with the cops

He said he wish I was like Chris Murray

He was my friend that was on top

Of his game and had a lot

So my pops knew the gang would disturb me

But 17 I ran away

I didn't understand the way he was prepping

Me to become the multimillionaire I am today

Kept me safe my family helped a lot

If I may highlight

I see now my step daddy all this

Time was pushin to save my life

Love

Guap now

Everybody gotta see me at the top now

Most my homies back in the day today are not round

'Cause the punishment I done this

In my town can't be stopped now no
