R. City – Locked Away (ft. Adam Levine) (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

Throwback to Rock City’s “Locked Away” track with Adam Levine. The song was produced by Cirkut & Dr. Luke. Watch the music video, listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy, mp3 download.

R. City Locked Away

Featuring Adam Levine of Maroon 5, the song peers into the anxieties and insecurities in many relationships—can love survive the most devastating circumstances?

The official music video features three different scenes: a soldier leaving his family to return to service, a man and a woman fighting to make ends meet, and a father and daughter torn apart by her arrest. R. City did it this way because they wanted everybody to connect to the song’s message of perseverance through hardship.

Though the R. City duo has written for Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Miley Cyrus, “Locked Away” is the breakout song that puts them on the map as performers.

Are you wondering why Toni Tennille is credited for the writing on this song? It’s because the melody sounds really similar to her song “Do That To Me One More Time.” Seriously, check it out!

Lyrics

[Chorus: Adam Levine & (R. City)]
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

[Verse 1: R. City]
If a judge ‘for life’ me, would ya stay by my side?
Or is you gonna 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 on, show me that you are down

[Pre-Chorus: R. City]
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? (Wassup)
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 (Wassup)
I wanna know, would you stick around?

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
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?

[Verse 2: R. City]
Skiddly dong, dong, dong, dang
All I want is somebody real, who don’t need much
A gyal 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? (Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Gyal me need fi know, aha

[Pre-Chorus: R. City]
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? (Wassup)
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 (Wassup)
I wanna know, would you stick around?

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
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?

[Bridge: R. City]
Tell me, tell me, would you want me? (Want me)
Tell me, tell me, would you call me? (Call me)
If you knew I wasn’t balling
‘Cause I need a gyal who’s always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (Need me)
Tell me, tell me, do you love me? (Yeah)
Or is you just tryna play me?
‘Cause I need a gyal to hold me down for life

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
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?
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?

[Outro: Adam Levine]
Would you still love me the same?
