Locked In

Yeah

Eyes open

Too focused

Look

Phone off

Head down, I’m zoned out

Same seat, same screen, same four walls

Whole week in a loop I can’t scroll out

Calendar packed, heart still empty

Check marks chase me in my sleep

Got dreams in a folder I never open

Whole hard drive of the life I keep

Mama say, “Son, you need balance”

Coach say, “Grind, that’s talent”

I’m stuck in the middle of the voices and noise

Teeth tight, jaw clenched, tryna smile on the damage

I’ve been locked in

Door closed, mind racing, can’t stop it (can’t stop it)

Whole world calling my name, I just block it

Feel the pressure in my chest like a rocket

Yeah, I’m locked in

Same song, same chain on the faucet (on the faucet)

I pray one day I walk out and I drop this

’Til then, it’s head down, I’m locked in

Alarm ring

Did I ever fall asleep?

Dark circles like badges

Say I’ve been in too deep

Friends hit my line, “Let’s slide out”

I type “bet,” then delete, then ghost

They living in stories I never show up in

I’m married to a grind that don’t propose

These goals feel like steel bars

Shiny, heavy, all in my way

I thought freedom was stacking up trophies

But the metal just making me pay

Told God, “If you listening, talk back”

’Cause my mind doing laps on a track

Every win feel small, every miss too loud

I’m a champ and a prisoner, facts

I’ve been locked in

Door closed, mind racing, can’t stop it (can’t stop it)

Whole world calling my name, I just block it

Feel the pressure in my chest like a rocket

Yeah, I’m locked in

Same song, same chain on the faucet (on the faucet)

I pray one day I walk out and I drop this

’Til then, it’s head down, I’m locked in

Is it focus or a cage, I don’t know

If I slow down, will it all let go? (all let go)

If I break out, who am I then?

If I stay in, do I ever win?

I’ve been locked in

Door closed, mind racing, can’t stop it (can’t stop it)

Whole world calling my name, I just block it

Feel the pressure in my chest like a rocket

Yeah, I’m locked in

Same song, same chain on the faucet (on the faucet)

I pray one day I walk out and I drop this

’Til then, it’s head down, I’m locked in (locked in)
