Kainan Seth - Lock + Key Lyrics

Man, don't throw away the lock and key (don't throw it!)
They got the laws coming after me (whoo!)
Was never chained, so don't ask me how
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than, ah!

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!

Why does school education set us up to fail?
And why the judge wanna throw my brothers in the jail?
It's the 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
Ha, 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!

Man, don't throw away the lock and key (don't throw it!)
They got the laws coming after me (whoo!)
Was never chained, so don't ask me how
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than, ah!

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!

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 win do (Windu)
But the police went ahead and Maced him!
'Cause they 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!

Man, don't throw away the lock and key (don't throw it!)
They got the laws coming after me (whoo!)
Was never chained, so don't ask me how
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than, ah!

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!

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, I 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!

Man, don't throw away the lock and key (don't throw it!)
They got the laws coming after me (whoo!)
Was never chained, so don't ask me how
I escaped, well why you actin' like you better than, ah!

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!
