Locked Inside Lyrics - The Archandroid - Janelle Monae

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 all right? 

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 

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 

Killing plagues the citizens 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 love you baby 

These people are so crazy 

I really need you baby 

Need you to stay

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 her friends 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 will you 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 love 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 a 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!
