Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Lived reckless so long
Justice system bust me wrong
Future's stretched out like a rubber check
Don't be jeffin' out the side of yo neck
Dealin' from the bottom of the deck
Might make it home to the projects
Don't point no finger at me like you do
Know three of them is pointing back at you
Locked down, locked down!
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Long way from home, walking too soon
Because of that broken we're strong
He says... Getting all clear
Oh, a... Too much for the population
Don't plan no... At me like you do...
Locked down, locked down!
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Built invisible everybody
Price of death comes here cheap
Robbing soul in a... With a straight cat
Like I call you rat...
Don't plan no figure out here like you do
No... Back at you
Locked down, locked down!
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
