Locked Down - Dr. John

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Lived reckless so long

Justice system bust me wrong

Future stressed out like a rubber check

Don't be jeffing out the side of your neck

Dealin' from the bottom of the deck

Might make it home to the projects

Don't point no finger at me like you do

Know three of them is pointing back at you

Locked down, locked down!

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Long way from home, walking through a storm

Big yard survival keep me strong

Face I see in that old mirror

Too foggy and it ain't gettin' no clearer

Overcoat me like mess hall rations

Too much for the population

Don't point no finger at me like you do

Know three of them is pointing back at you

Locked down, locked down!

I felt invisible everybody

The price of death come too cheap

Robbed and stole in the gap

Popped with a stray cap

Like I cornered rat

What you all know 'bout that?

Don't point no finger at me like you do

Know three of them is pointing back at you

Locked down, locked down!

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah
