At this point, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that Tekashi 6ix9ine has released his first album since coming home from a stint in prison, the tongue-in-cheek TattleTales. And while many profess a burning disdain for the controversial rapper, he has somehow managed to fascinate even his most ardent haters to the point where they’re still checking on his new music. Case in point, the disparity in views between his album and Big Sean’s Detroit 2 reveals an alarming truth — people simply can’t resist the spectacle of it all.
Yet one thing that has been frequently attributed to the young man amidst all the criticism is his marketing savvy, a quality he exhibited when placing the Akon-assisted “Locked Up Pt 2” at the beginning of his latest project. After all, the original remains a fan favorite to this day, and many curious parties will tune in if only to see what the sequel has to offer. For the most part, the track finds 6ix9ine doing his part to plead his case, attempting to justify his decision to become the eponymous TattleTale. Whether you buy into it is entirely up to you.

[Verse 1: 6ix9ine]
All this time that I spent up in here
Got me thinkin’ ’bout the things that I did
Got me thinkin’ like, “Why the fuck I did that?”
Got me wishin’ that I could take it all back
Fighting with these demons, barely even eatin’
Barely even sleepin’, this shit got me tweakin’
Fighting with my lawyers for a better offer
Just wanna see my daughter, ’cause
[Chorus: Akon]
I’m locked up, they won’t let me out
They won’t let me out
I’m locked up, they won’t let me out
No, they won’t let me out
I’m locked up, they won’t let me out
Never thought I’d be caught up in these streets, yeah
Locked up, they won’t let me out
No, they won’t let me out
[Verse 2: 6ix9ine]
Havin’ dreams about livin’ my life
I’ve been havin’ dreams about bein’ outside
I’ve been, little baby girl, please don’t cry, no
Please don’t, no, no
No, no, no, no (No)
Mama said, “Hold my hand, no crying, no”
All these niggas wanna take my life, I know
Little baby boy, please don’t die, no
And I might, no, no
No, no, no, no (No)
Tell me why, tell me how I really love these niggas
Tell me why, tell me why would I trust these niggas
Hearin’ voices in my head, sayin’, “Fuck these niggas”
My niggas, my niggas, these ain’t my niggas
They gon’ say what they gon’ say, nigga, yeah, I know
They can say what they want, they don’t know what I know
Ain’t nothin’ you can tell me ’bout this life I chose
I was facin’ 47 life
[Chorus: Akon]
I’m locked up, they won’t let me out
They won’t let me out
I’m locked up, they won’t let me out
No, they won’t let me out
I’m locked up, they won’t let me out
Never thought I’d be caught up in these streets, yeah
Locked up, they won’t let me out
No, they won’t let me out
[Verse 3: Akon]
I’m still tryna find that motive
Of why I did what I did
I didn’t wanna feel that struggle
Just wanted to hurry up and get rich
And while that money pile up high
Jealous niggas askin’ questions, “Why not us,” yeah
And when you get caught up, nobody wants to seem to be your rider, yeah
Everybody wanna talk the street code
But only followin’, convenient for them
They quick to tell you that they’d ride for you, die for you
But quick to bite the hand that feeds them
[Verse 4: 6ix9ine & Akon]
I know I can’t keep lovin’ you
I know I can’t keep trustin’ you
I put my life in front of you
Tell me what I’m supposed to do
This shit gets complicated, ah (Complicated)
My blood, thought you was ride or die
I was just tryna change your life (Tryna change your life)
But you had something else in mind (Something else in mind)
[Outro: Akon]
Yeah
Something else in mind, yeah
I’m locked up
