Lock & Key Lyrics by MANIK MC

2021

[Chorus: Eerf Evil]
Uh, life stuck up in that maze and some get weighed in
Still trying to figure out how to play things
I remember mom grabbing me from them stations
'Cause we were trying to make a change, trying to change things
Uh, life stuck up in that maze and some get weighed in
Still trying to figure out how to play things
I remember mom grabbing me from them stations
'Cause we were trying to make a change, trying to change things
[Verse 1: Eerf Evil]
Look, I just wanted pay
Yeah, I'm from a place where we on robberies
Yeah, stuck in a cycle of monstrosities
Yeah, well, they benefit from my poverty
And honestly, that shit, it's really bothers me
We got to eat
They want us dead or behind lock and key
Yeah, without shit to boost economies
Yeah, no wonder we don't own properties
My policy is knowledge, my philosphy's I learned some lessons
Yeah, I've lived through curses and I've counted blessings
Yeah, my bro got served a charge, he had a sentence
Yeah, that ain't no MO, bro, just practice sessions
Listen, we were poor since we were adolescents, hold a C
Yeah, I feel them written in the poetry
Yeah, you'll find your purpose when you sold at sea
Yeah, I want your bubble like a soda stream
Listen, 'cause there's powers, and the both we need
[Chorus: Eerf Evil]
Uh, life stuck up in that maze and some get weighed in
Still trying to figure out how to play things
I remember mom grabbing me from them stations
'Cause we were trying to make a change, trying to change things
Uh, life stuck up in that maze and some get weighed in
Still trying to figure out how to play things
I remember mom grabbing me from them stations (Yo, yo, yo, listen)
'Cause we were trying to make a change, trying to change things
[Verse 2: MANIK MC]
We just wanted peace
We tried to rap but then they said we needed proper dreams
We needed cash 'cause most the man out there was shredding trees
Quitting the trap, but how we supposed to grow when now it's changed?
We screaming loud, can't hear the whispers under summer breeze
We pushing hard, it's really feeling like it's got to give
We've had enough of who-did-nothings and the politic impostering the propositions
Who is in the opposition?
All I see is to ever listen
Every day we scream it loud
I know my city, know my people, man not been about
We screaming peace but, somehow, it's like they can't see it
Still aiming high, we still believe in putting ceilings down
Believe in pushing demons out
The evils that we speak about
Yo, we feeling smug, but still, we reaching out
Yo, visions of brothers lying, bleeding out
Yo, it's like the signal started creeping out
The darkness that we speak about
Just hoping you believe it now
[Chorus: Eerf Evil]
Uh, life stuck up in that maze and some get weighed in
Still trying to figure out how to play things
I remember mom grabbing me from them stations
'Cause we were trying to make a change, trying to change things
Uh, life stuck up in that maze and some get weighed in
Still trying to figure out how to play things
I remember mom grabbing me from them stations
'Cause we were trying to make a change, trying to change things
