Lock U Down

Mya · Liberation [2007]

[Lil Wayne]

Yea, haha

Yezzir, what it is, T?

This rite here is automatic man, understand that

See what you know bout

Scott Storch got torch, and Weezy F. got fire (Yes)

And we bringin back, Miss Mya



[Mya]

If I had a dollar for all of the times I thought I found the right one

I'd be a billionaire then I could probably ride out and go and find the right one

I wouldn't mind a dude that could take my attitude, and take the time to listen

Someone that understands when I need a little space and when I need attention

What I'm lookin' for is



Somebody with direction (Direction)

Somebody with affection (Affection)

That knows how to put it on me

That's what I need (That's what I need)

Somebody who can read me

Check me, when I need to be

Pick me up when I'm fallin'

That's what I need



[chorus]

So when I find you

I'll never let you get away

Never let you slip away

I'mma lock you down, lock you down (I'mma lock you down)

And when I see you

I'll never look the other way (Look the other way)

Never let you slip away (Never let you slip away)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down



[Only on album / video version:]

I've been around the world a couple times and I swear it never ceases to amaze me

How many different guys use the same tired lines trying to amaze me

It doesn't take a lot to put a smile on my face I'm not high maintenance

You just gotta honest from the start and your hearts gotta be dedicated

So what I'm lookin' for is



Somebody with direction (Direction)

Somebody with affection (Affection)

That knows how to put it on me

That's what I need (That's what I need)

Somebody who can read me (Read me)

Check me, when I need to be (Need to be)

Pick me up when I'm fallin' (Yeah yay)

That's what I need



[chorus]

So when I find you (When I find you)

I'll never let you get away (No wow oh)

Never let you slip away (Oh no baby)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down (I hope you tryna craze this)

And when I see you (See you)

I'll never look the other way (Look the other way)

Never let you slip away (Never let you slip away)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down



[Lil Wayne]

I hope she throw away the key too

Got me tied up like a 3-piece suite

Uh, Mya's back, got a sweet tooth,

Miss Caramel, I need 3 scoops

I could see you, in your beach suit

Walkin' 'round my beach view

3-bedroom, penthouse, see-through

Just windows, rich ass nympho's

Baby Girl I can tell you where you need to go

Where you ought to be

On the charter, comin' to Young Carter

You need direction, I could take you farther

You need affection, I could crush you harder

You need protection (Protection?)

Sweetheart, I'm fresh off election

And if you checkin I won't be far

I'd be right on your radar (Ya!)



[chorus]

So when I find you (When I find you)

I'll never let you get away (No wow oh)

Never let you slip away (Oh no baby)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down (I hope you tryna craze this)

And when I see you (See you)

I'll never look the other way (Look the other way)

Never let you slip away (Never let you slip away)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down



Like a anchor in the water

I have my priorities in order

That made you be the only one love in my life

I would vow to never leave ya

Rub your back boy, do anything to please ya

All you gotta do is come around

And I'mma lock you down

(I'm gonna lock you down)



[chorus]

So when I find you

I'll never let you get away (Never let you get away)

Never let you slip away (Oh no baby)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down (I hope you tryna craze this)

And when I see you

I'll never look the other way (I'll look the other way)

Never let you slip away (Never let you slip away)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down



[chorus]

So when I find you (When I find you)

I'll never let you get away (Never let you get away)

Never let you slip away (Oh no baby)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down (I hope you tryna craze this)

And when I see you (See you)

I'll never look the other way (I'll look the other way)

Never let you slip away (Never let you slip away)

I'mma lock you down, lock you down



I'll lock you down

When I see you

I put a padlock on you baby

No if, and, but's, or maybe's
