LOCK + KEY Lyrics by Kainan Seth

THE HANGOUT II

2017

​
[hook]
Man, don't throw away the lock and key!
They got the laws coming after me!
Was never chained, so don't ask me how!
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than!
[Chorus]
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
We won't fold no more, drop the laundry load
We got the passcode, step on the last road
[verse one]
Why does school education set us up to fail?
And why the judge wanna throw my brothers in the jail?
School to prison system, that is not my business, but it is a business, and it'll kill us
Man, we need wisdom, God, we ask forgiveness, but some suckas wanna go and Emmett Till us!
Good teachers alright, giving facts, but a few be lying in class
Racist ones call us broke niggers, heh, Black Twitter will put you on blast
We waiting on Christ to come and get us, that's the Prince of the Peace
See what I'm saying, get ya' eyes tuned, sign them terms of release. yeah!
[hook]
Man, don't throw away the lock and key!
They got the laws coming after me!
Was never chained, so don't ask me how!
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than!
[Chorus]
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
We won't fold no more, drop the laundry load
We got the passcode, step on the last road
[verse two]
Too many of our elders be stuck in the past
They give too much power to white, man, don't let that last
We gotta go ahead, and face it, ignorance is the replacement
He ask what a Windu, but the police went ahead and Maced him
Cops put metal to our chest man, like that job we ain't invest in
For Jim Crow they were not están, but they still won't make amends, man
The Constitution still killing us, Friday the thirteenth
Dang, if the cost for freedom is our life, are we really free? Nah!
[hook]
Man, don't throw away the lock and key!
They got the laws coming after me!
Was never chained, so don't ask me how!
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than!
[Chorus]
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
We won't fold no more, drop the laundry load
We got the passcode, step on the last road
[verse three]
Don't tell black folk to drop racism when you cry over the Civil War
Our people were the money that started it all, so slavery's what the South fought for
But at the end of the day I'm Christian too, let go of the noose, cut me some slack
I'm a regular guy, I'm praying for you, but don't forget, I'm still black!
Division, yeah, I hate math, historical ignorance, still whack!
The Civil War is over, gotta get the drunks sober, so drop and burn the loser flag!
We not post-racial, in reality, the hatred stay coming in waves
I believe we free from being slaves, and I'm gon' say that Lord Jesus saves!
[hook]
Man, don't throw away the lock and key!
They got the laws coming after me!
Was never chained, so don't ask me how!
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than!
[Chorus]
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
Lock and key, lock and key, lock and key, please don't toss the lock and key
We won't fold no more, drop the laundry load
We got the passcode, step on the last road
