Lyrics below are from the critically acclaim track ‘Locked In’
(Chorus)
They tryna see me without
They tryna cover my route
They plan on bringing me down
Can’t keep a real nigga down
I’ll always find my way out
You know I’m smarter than them
I’ma go harder than them
(Post Chorus)
West side they know what we bout
East side they know what we bout
Might put them golds in my mouth
Just so they know what I’m bout
Used to sell drugs out the house
Now I just work out the house
(Verse 1)
Back when my pockets was slim
Used to go half a nick
Now I roll up by the eighth
You don’t know nothing bout me
I had to struggle my way
Now I look back like okay
Proud that I did it my way
I got some music to make
Ain’t no more playing it safe
I see the thrown up for takes
You had a year it was great
Heard your new shit it was straight
They know I’m back on my wave
I know they’re very afraid
Okay
(Bridge)
I know they’re very afraid
I know they’re very afraid
They know I’m back on my wave
They know I’m back on my wave
They know I’m back on my wave
I know they’re very afraid
I know they’re very afraid
(Verse 2)
Can’t knock my hustle yeah I had to struggle
My life was in trouble but I made it bubble
I cook up a bundle I’m making it double
If I don’t make it back then I swear that I’m done with it
Told her I’d stop once I’m done having fun with it
Found a new beat yeah you know I go dumb on it
Fuck on a lease yeah we all about ownership
(They wanna beef well I send my condolences)
Ain’t no apologies this what it is
Swear ain’t nobody that did what we did
I had to sleep with no lights at the crib
Now I shine bright when I look in the mirror
I work too hard for this shit you can tell
Been through the highs and lows you can tell
Kush and that syrup moving slow like a snail
Still a run a laps round you niggas fo real
Aye
(Chorus)
They tryna see me without
They tryna cover my route
They plan on bringing me down
Can’t keep a real nigga down
I’ll always find my way out
You know I’m smarter than them
I’ma go harder than them
(Post Chorus)
West side they know what we bout
East side they know what we bout
Might put them golds in my mouth
Just so they know what I’m bout
Used to sell drugs out the house
Now I just work out the house
