Locked Away
R. City“It was inspired by true events,” Theron Thomas tells Radio.com. “Our dad was locked up for five years. And during the time he was gone, our mom held it down. She’d take us to see him. They’re still together to this day. They’ve been together for 36 years. So we thought that that was a great story to write a song about.”
(Princess, I'm leaving.)
(Look at all these bills,
aren't they going to get paid?)
(You have the right to remain silent.)
(Anything you say
can and will be used
against you in a court of law.)
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
Right about now
If a judge for-life me
Would you stay by my side?
Or is you going to say goodbye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
shawty, would it be alright?
Come and show me that you are down
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
-Would you really ride for me?-
Baby, tell me would you die for me?
-Tell me would you die for me?-
Would you spend your whole life with me?
-What's that?-
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
-Would you really cry for me?-
Baby, don't lie to me
-Baby, don't lie to me-
If I didn't have anything
-What's that?-
I want to know would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
"sitting around and playing video games...
figuring things out...

man. Can you trust me?
How are they gonna be paid?
what is your plan?
I'm trying, I have a plan,
You doesn't to trust me, man?
Let's get it diddly-dong-dong-dong dang
All I want is somebody real who don't need much
A gal I know that I can trust
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love
Would that even be enough?
Gal, me need it know
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
-Would you really ride for me?-
Baby, tell me would you die for me?
-Tell me would you die for me?-
Would you spend your whole life with me?

Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
-Would you really cry for me?-
Baby, don't lie to me
-Baby, don't lie to me-
If I didn't have anything
-What's that?-
I want to know would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
Tell me, tell me, would you want me?
Tell me, tell me, would you call me
If you knew I wasn't balling?
Because I need a gal who's always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me?
Tell me, tell me, do you love me, yeah?
Or is you just trying to play me?
Because I need a gal to hold me down for life
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

So I'm down for some massage but up for some skiing.
To "ride for" someone in the literal sense means to ride in the car as the shooter during a drive by shooting. In the figurative sense, it means to support and stand by a friend until the very end, through any obstacle.
A fault, mistake, or weakness, especially one that happens while something is being planned or made, or that causes something not to be perfect:
I have too many flaws to be perfect
