In & Out
Marcus Canty featuring Wale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should I do it?
I’d be surrounded by so many other girls
If you’re offer me to do it and I don’t wanna do it.
'Cause if I do it I will be missing all that somethings
That I’m so scared turning, keep it moving.
Yeah, that’s how I do it.

'Cause I’d be in and out of love, in and out of love, in and out of love,
I’d be in and out of love.
Yeah, I’m struggling for the love, but don’t prick this with your love
And I just can’t get enough, so at the end of night I’m in and out of it.

I’ve been trying to find a good thing, but it’s never good enough for me
You might think that I’m crazy, it ain’t what it seems,
I’m praying that maybe someday we will meet.
And you’ll try to find a way to my heart
I’ll be trying to find a way to lead
So I’d be in and out of love, in and out of love, in and out of love.
Love just can’t lock me down.
Now, it just can’t lock me down.

Should I do it? Take a chance, get my heart from the start
And then you’ll see how I do it,
Yeah, you know how I do it.
But if I do it I will be missing all that somethings
That I’m so scared turning, keep it moving.
Yeah, that’s how I do it.

I’ve been trying to find a good thing, but it’s never good enough for me
You might think that I’m crazy, it ain’t what it seems,
I’m praying that maybe someday we will meet.
And you’ll try to find a way to my heart
I’ll be trying to find a way to lead
So I’d be in and out of love, in and out of love, in and out of love.
Love just can’t lock me down.
Now, it just can’t lock me down.

And I sort of like it, kind of sort I don’t feel her
Maybe she’s just a maybe, no maybe’s can turn to real ones.
Maybe that’s just adrenaline, let me give her a second up.
You ain’t notice a difference, hold up.
'Cause how deep is your love?
Actions’ louder than verbal,
And why you’re speaking so much?
And why you’re sucking your teeth?
'Cause I can’t be where you are?
'Cause I just make you my dinner if I can meet you for life.
What’s up?

I’ve been trying to find a good thing, but it’s never good enough for me
You might think that I’m crazy, it ain’t what it seems,
I’m praying that maybe someday we will meet.
And you’ll try to find a way to my heart
I’ll be trying to find a way to lead
So I’d be in and out of love, in and out of love, in and out of love.




Love just can’t lock me down.
Now, it just can’t lock me down.

Overall Meaning

The song "In & Out" by Marcus Canty featuring Wale is about a man who is struggling with commitment and being in love. He is constantly stuck in a cycle of going in and out of love with different girls, but he can never seem to find a good enough relationship that will truly lock him down. He is hesitant to take a chance and fully commit to someone because he is scared of missing out on other opportunities and experiences. However, he acknowledges that love is something he desires and longs for, but he just can't seem to find the right person who can capture and keep his heart.


Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the man's internal struggle as he debates whether or not he should take a chance on love. He questions whether he should do it and risk missing out on other things or keep moving and not commit to anyone. The lyrics also touch on the idea that the man wants to find someone who will try to find a way to his heart, but he is also trying to find a way to lead, which suggests that he is not ready to submit to someone else's love.


Overall, the song is a reflection of the internal fight that people go through when trying to find love and commitment. It is a relatable topic for anyone who has struggled with balancing their desire for love with their fear of missing out.
