The Punishment (Lockdown) [Remix]

[Intro: X-Raided] You gon' stay your ass in this house! And the only way you going outside this house is taking out the trash or going to work! [Chorus: Tech N9ne] Locked down Ain't nobody finna see me if they knock now Crack the window a little bit to hear the block sounds I'm on punishment, the fun and shit, it stops now When I'm on Pops’ ground, no [Verse 1: Tech N9ne] Man, 15 did seem big mean But did things, shit brings clipped wings Trouble in school, I'm on punishment Funk 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 shit Whenever my hope's founded I got used to how "Nope" sounded In the gutter we eat peanut butter and we 'bout die from a choke sandwich No partiеs, no hoes pounded 'Cause this summеr I'm so grounded I'll be stuck at that addy because my stepdaddy will never promote clown shit 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 understand it! [Chorus: Tech N9ne] Locked down Ain't nobody finna see me if they knock now Crack the window a little bit to hear the block sounds I'm on punishment, the fun and shit, it stops now When I'm on Pops’ ground, no [Verse 2: Tech N9ne] Step dad is Muslim, momma is devout (Christian) At night when they both sleeping I sneak out (Missing) Friday's 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 to work with dad He owns the Steak and Take, 18th and Vine, everyday I worked my ass 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 Dinnertime I ask 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 sneaking out, next summer you'll be on punishment again" Damn! [Chorus: Tech N9ne] Locked down Ain't nobody finna see me if they knock now Crack the window a little bit to hear the block sounds I'm on punishment, the fun and shit, it stops now When I'm on Pops’ ground, no [Verse 3: Tech N9ne] Now I'm thinking 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 momma and me, and I quote these words I spoke or wrote in yo' honor He knew my friends was getting shot Having 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 that gang shit 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 stepdaddy all this time was pushing to save my life, love! [Bridge: Tech N9ne] 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 shit in my town Can't be stopped now, no
