King 20/20 - LOCKED down lyrics

Verse 1: Captives, that's me you and everybody Pain on my face is only for the hotties Break the silence like a shotty, so John Gotti With the violence of a snuff film, bullets fill the bodies Physically, mentally, socially ending things Nothing leads to something if you wait until the bell rings We locked down to our desks, like hanco*ks to checks Written to revolt against the locks and the bolts Run the playbook, they wanna see results on the page Deliver ya'll the message, records still don't get played Like a vinyl from the old days, it's embedded in em' Sometimes for seconds, sometimes for whole millenniums Everything comes around, karma be the queen Captavating the captives, behold the dream Of becoming a liberated, eternal form of pride Verbal q's by the wayside, conquer then divide Hook: Captives, captives We all captives x2 Verse 2: I been here for 20 years, with no f**in' answers Only slim chances, them friends who were actors Dish out the questions, like a four course meal Back alley deal, cop the d**, f** the feel f** the needs of the wise and the oppressed Social satire when they think they know best Blind men spoke fore' they knew the whole world Or took they first breath, or met they first girl Five steps forward, with thirty more back To where we were, without pickin' up the slack Thank you, thank you, but i've had enough of that Plus the rat-a-tat-tat is becoming whack Murder our, own race, like it's a race To see how fast, we can evacuate the map Louis and Clark better be grabbin' a gat To protect what's theres and what's yours, so where they at? Hook: Captives, captives Captives, captives We all tragic X2 Captives, captives Captives, captives Locked down, locked down Outro: "To think yourself into the fact that...of this whole sense of importance of vitality, of aliveness and being, is simply a sudden experience. Which was nothing before it started and will be nothing after it's over. That is the simplest possible thing you could believe in. It requires no intellectual effort...nothing. Supposing that's the way it is."- Alan Watts
