letra de the punishment (lockdown) - tech n9ne

[intro: x-raided]
you gon’ stay your ass in this house
and the only way you’re going outside this house is taking out the trash or going to work!

[verse 1: tech n9ne]
man, 15 did seem big mean
but did things, sh-t 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 sh-t
whenever my hope’s founded
i got used to how “nope” sounded
in the gutter we eat peanut b-tter and we ’bout die from a choke sandwich
no parties, no hoes pounded
’cause this summer i’m so grounded
i’ll be stuck at that addy because my step daddy will never promote clown sh-t 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 n0body finna see me if they knock now
crack the window a little bit to hear the block sound
on the punishment, the punishment on pops ground
ain’t no opps ’round, 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 one 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 “n0body, no friend, but on your work day i commend
and if you keep sneaking out, next summer you’ll be on punishment again”
d-mn!

[chorus: tech n9ne]
locked down
ain’t n0body finna see me if they knock now
crack the window a little bit to hear the block sound
on the punishment, the punishment on pops ground
ain’t no opps ’round, 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 more 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 your 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 sh-t 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 pushing to save my life, love!

[chorus: 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 sh-t in my town
can’t be stopped now, no
