Lockdown

I catch you speeding, now you pleading, but the needing is intense

I see the tension, the dimension, violate the fence

No defense, no pretense, past the present and the tense

The matter heavy, yeah you guilty in the sense...

Of the body / Of the crime / Oya come and do the time.

I got the radar, I got the sonar, tracking where you go

You acting harder, acting smarter, putting on a show

Wetin be this? You dey resist? Now the engine getting colder

I be the heavy officer upon your shoulder.

Stop the talking / start the walking / inside the cell

Heaven is a boring place / I take you straight to hell.

(Clank)

No bail allowed. No witnesses inside the crowd.

Just solitary confinement. A perfect alignment.

Search the body, find the contraband.

Do exactly what I demand.

Hands up. Against the wall. You breaking the law. I'm taking it all.

(Lockdown. Shutdown. Man down.)

(Lockdown. Shutdown. Man down.)

Check am. (Pause)

Wetin you carry? (Pause)

Check the pockets, check the inseam, why you in a hurry?

You holding. (Pause)

Unfolding. (Pause)

This weapon is dangerous, the heat is molding.

Show down. (Pause)

Go down. (Pause)

Face down on the mattress, don't make a sound.

I put the cuffs on the wrist. No wahala, don't resist.

Case dismissed.

You have the right to remain silent.

But I know say you no go fit.

Anything you talk... Na evidence against you.

And I go use am against you. Hard.

I sentence you to life... Inside these sheets.

No parole for the prisoner. Just the body heats.

Serving time. The perfect crime.

Don't drop the soap. Give up the hope.

The warden is coming. The system is humming.

We starting a riot. Disturbing the quiet.

Maximum Security. Lose the purity!

YOU DEY UNDER ARREST. (Whoop Whoop)

Cuff am. Rough am. Tough am.

(Whoop Whoop)

Buff am. Stuff am. Cuff am.

LOCKDOWN.

Now we causing big wahala inside of the block

We going round and round and round the clock

You shaking the bars and you rattling the cage

We burning it down with a criminal rage.

I be the warden, I be chief, I control the key

You never escaping, you never going free

You wan do shakara? You wan do the style?

I go lock you away for a very long while.

Posting the bail? Denied. Abeg, enter inside.

Officer Down. Suspect is in custody. He no go see road tonight.

Lockdown. Shutdown. Case closed.
