Lyrics

Verse

Yuh, listen up, it's JQ in the booth, got a story to tell

'Bout my bro, doing time, it's a hell of a shell

He was chasing bags, trying to get it in (get it in)

But the system got him, now he's doing a bid (bid)

Skrrt, memories of him, they still linger on (linger on)

I'm trying to stay strong, but it's hard, all day long (all day long)

I'm talking to him through screens, it's a crazy feel (crazy feel)

He's telling me to keep it cool, keep it real, u know ima be alright (real)

Ay, I got his back, no matter the deal (deal)

I'm on my grind keeping it real every day, trying to get him out for real (for real)

My brother, my brother, he's doing time (time)

But I won't stop, won't stop, until he shines (shines)

Uh-huh, I'm on a mission, to make it right (right)

Got my eyes on the prize, day and night (night)

I'm making moves, got the game on lock (lock)

But it's hard when your brother's in a box (box)

Na-na, I won't give up, no way (no way)

I'll keep it moving, come what may (may)

My brother's counting on me, I won't fail (fail)

I'll get him out, and we'll set sail (sail)

Chorus

Jail ain't gonna hold him down, no, no (no, no)

My brother's gonna wear his crown, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)

He's gonna shine so bright, like a diamond in the ground (ground)

Jail ain't gonna hold him down, no, no (no, no)

My brother's gonna make it out, and he's gonna wear his crown (crown)

Yeah, yeah, he's gonna shine so bright (bright)

Jail ain't gonna hold him down, no, no (no, no)

My brother's gonna make it out, and he's gonna be just fine (fine)
