[Hook: T3 ]
We lock it down (Who?)
We lock it down (Yeah!), lock it down (El!)
Lock it down, lock it down (Tin! Ugh)
Lock it down, lock it down (Manifest)
Lock it down (B, T3), we lock it down (Manifest)
Lock it down, we lock it down (Feel it)
[Verse 1: Elzhi]
El scorching, reflection of a king, self-portrait (Ugh)
My destiny, sitting on the throne you fell off of
Flossing champion belts, the gems is for the poems
I rip your head from your neck ’til you look semicolon (Ugh)
It’s with the dopest slang, my mental is twisted
My mind holds a state where inner visuals live at
They go to war, it reflects through my vocal cords
High explosives, fly from inside Ayatollah
African (Where you at, El?) African men
Ark, he [?] playing deep in the safari
Got a army deeper than slaves to raise the Sphynx’s body (Ugh)
Greek mythology, it’s none adjacent
I dropkick you with the skills learned from Levitation
Breathe the chi through my navel, I electrify what I eject
My dialect is fly
[Hook: T3]
Lock it down, lock it down
We lock it down, we lock it down
We lock it down, lock it down
Lock it down, lock it down
Lock it down, lock it down (Ugh)
[Verse 2: T3 & Elzhi]
Yo, we bury niggas in the back like The Sopranos
Bust niggas the fuck back like Marciano
Quick to get it, quick to spit it on the counter
Can’t trust niggas with your money on the counter
Lock cold, like seven, spit star for hunger [?]
More they push us back, the more we get stronger
S… Bad boys of four-six
Fucking with Baatin and El on assist
Gliss niggas that cross the line, they get hit
Smack niggas in the mouth for the same shit
And also, fuck around, it’s a fiasco
Known, loco, centro, international
Trey! Third!
(Man, these niggas better forget about it, man)
We draw crowds in like Exodus, on corners
These dudes recite poems in large forums
Known to crush they victims, smash they opponents
Walk in the dark with the spotlight on ‘em
With a crew of black bandits, walk open-handed
Quick to cut it up in many circumstances
That’s why we…
[Hook: T3]
Lock it down, lock it down
We lock it down, we lock it down
We lock it down, lock it down
Get down and do it for you and I
Lock it down, lock it down
Get down and do it for you and I
Lock it down, lock it down
Get down and do it for you and I
[Verse 3: Baatin]
Excuse me, miss, I’m off the chain
It’s making me sick, ain’t that a bitch?
You sent for the wish
You know I do it like a dusty cell with a pitch
You in the bottle like a ancient text
It’s the same thing, you know I got, it’s empty, empty [?]
Sandal with a seashell
We swell, pay the piper like I’m R.-Kel
Ishmael, see the face, I’m in a turban like I meant well [?]
Get stale, I got bread for the corpse in mind
It’s the same thing, I guess I gotta whine
You down, understand, you with a handshake
Shift the gear while I sift ‘em in the crust
Work this empty, I might catch the wave
Run it up, tryna get served up, what the fuck
It’s the same thing, I guess I got, it’s empty, empty [?]
Sandal with a seashell, we swell
[Hook: T3]
We lock it down lock it down
Lock it down, lock it down
Lock it down, lock it down
Get down and do it for you and I
Lock it down, we lock it down
Get down and do it for you and I
We lock it down, lock it
