[Intro]
Ha-ha-ha (Ha-ha-ha)
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Can't put my finger on it, though, I linger in the strands of my hair
Alzheimer's kicked in
Been dependent
Been scratching my head while I use up this pen (Yeah)
Pullin' all-nighters sittin' with a riddance (Uh huh)
This is based on true events
When you're condemned, you don't want to be on the receiving end (Uh uh) 'cause I'm bored to death
I grin with contempt (Yeah)
Crumbled papers in a bin, I got unfinished business
One against all, but nothing against them
Can't get a hold of myself (Yerr)
Pushin' to pull it together
Behind bars for my jealousy, I'm finally self-centered (Yeah)
Shown a lot of sides to me and now a target's locked on me
They found out my spiel
Feel like I'm held for ransom (Mmm-mmm)
I'm taken for granted (Yah)
Tactics like these come in handy when nothing is handed
There's more where that came from, what's in store for you
Lean towards aloof (Bow), far from ordinary, reclusive (Bow)
Soon, rigor mortis
Rebuke (Bow) their attempt to lure me
The day I once dreaded has to come to infringe
And this build of suspense 'bout to be a cringe-fest
What's the worst that could happen? (Let it rip)
Any bright ideas, as I fight for freedom?
There's no alternative but to thread the needle
I'm imprisoned where I'm creative (Presto)
I'm remote
Came alone and unarmed, but equipped to be molded
Looked through a peephole, seeking to steamroll some freeloaders (They seemed bogus)
That is all she wrote
The forecast below zero, but can't 'coat it (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Trust no one by any means (Any means)
Anyone's your enemy (Enemy)
All chambers are situated (Situated)
I put myself in isolation (Isolation)
Buried deep and guarded heavily (Heavily)
There's no need for sympathy (Sympathy)
I don't need 'em or the treatment (Treatment)
I am locked down for a reason (Reason)

[Chorus]
Once I'm locked down, deep inside, I won't comply
Once I'm locked down, deep inside, no one enters
I got it locked oh, got it locked
On l-l-I-I-I-I-I-lock (On lock)
Once I'm locked down, deep inside, I won't comply
Once I'm locked down, deep inside, no one leaves
I got it locked oh, got it locked
On l-l-I-I-I-I-I-lock (On lock)

[Verse 2]
Knocking on my desk, tapping my feet, looking around, stare then repeat
In writer's block, engraving tallies
Graffiti on these walls around me
Glares emptied out across the ceiling
It's intriguing
Pen now bleeding, leaking, seeping
Thought bubbles floating, building clarity
At last, I'm at the climax
We got a situation:
I'm disheartened and aimless with no plans to escape it
So keep your pardons and favors when I am bein' evasive
My release is belated, deadline, I'm contained here
I chose to be fated within a gated location
And to end up isolated behind a door in a basement
Just the sanest nutcase that when you intrude, it's a rude awakening
Can't conceal my imagination
A sharpened craft from my patience
Fugitive's gone astray
It's the heist of the century, abide by no law
Despite what's set for me, I just cracked the code
And if they've yet to see that something is off
It is because I finally got it locked (Got it locked, got it locked)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Accept nothing by any means (Any means)
There's a catch to everything (Everything)
All chambers are situated (Situated)
I put myself in concealment (In concealment)
Buried deep by a penalty (Penalty)
There's no need for company (Company)
Don't ask questions, I want answers (Answers)
I am locked down for a reason (For a reason)

[Chorus]
Once I'm locked down (Yeah, yeah), deep inside, I won't comply
Once I'm locked down (Yeah, yeah), deep inside, no one enters
I got it locked oh (Yeah, yeah), got it locked (In this asylum)
On l-l-I-I-I-I-I-lock (Yeah, yeah)
(On lock)
Once I'm locked down (Yeah, yeah), deep inside, I won't comply
Once I'm locked down (Yeah, yeah), deep inside, no one leaves
I got it locked oh (Yeah, yeah), got it locked
On l-l-I-I-I-I-I-lock (Yeah, yeah)
(On lock)
