[00:22.06] I'm steady tryna find a motive (motive)
[00:25.14] Why I do what I do
[00:27.21] The freedom ain't gettin' no closer (closer)
[00:30.27] No matter how far I go
[00:32.71] My car is stolen (stolen)
[00:35.42] No registration ('tration)
[00:38.44] Cops patrolin' (patrolin')
[00:40.74] And now they done stop me and I get locked up
[00:43.81] They won't let me out, they won't let me out
[00:48.05] (I'm locked up)
[00:49.18] They won't let me out, no, they won't let me out

[01:04.82] Headin' uptown to re-up (re-up)
[01:07.66] Back with a couple keys (keys)
[01:10.27] Corner blocks on fire (fire)
