Janelle Monae - Locked Inside lyrics

I'm locked inside A land called Foolish Pride Where the man is always right He hates to talk but loves to fight Is that alright? On real cold days He loans us lots of hate But he says that we must pay To take it all away Is that okay? But I'm asking you, will you stay with me? In this land where we are free (Don't you know I know?) And I know it's rough And you've had enough But one day we'll be happy And when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes Hearts of hatred rule the land, while love is left aside k** and bled the citizen, while music slowly dies I get frightened, I See, I get frightened, I Oh how, oh how I need you, baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay Oh how, oh how I need you, baby These people are so crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay Fight (She's quick to fight) For her man but not her rights Even though it's 3005 When will we end this genocide? And that's not right Her children cry No food to eat and afraid as flies The color black means it's time to die And nobody questions why 'Cause they're too scared to stop the man But I'm asking you (I'm asking you) Eill you stay with me? (To stay with me) In this land where we are free And I know it's rough And you've had enough But one day we'll be happy 'Cause when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles The writers and the artists all are paid to tell us lies They keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside Oh how, oh how I need you, baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay Oh how, oh how I need you, baby These people are so crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay I can make a change I can start a fire Lord, make me love again Fill me with desire I can make a change I can start fire Make me love again Lord, thank you for desire And when I look into your pretty eyes, I almost want to cry I think about my life and I don't want to live a lie How I need you baby, I need you right by my side I need you tonight, I need you tonight Yeah How I need you, baby See, I can't let you go I need you On the other side On the other side I love you so and I'll never let you go On the other side
