After his spiritual transformation and short stint with Aaliyah, Lock began to choreograph shows for some of the Christian industry..s most noted talent. He added the electrifying spark to shows for Grammy nominated duo Grits, Word recording artist Nicole C. Mullen and The Katinas. It was during this transition period that Lock was picked up by industry veteran Toby Mac as a touring hype man and choreographer, a position which he still holds today. While on the road with the industry..s top headlining artists, Lock recorded a self-produced hip hop project which sold more than 15,000 units. The out-of-the-trunk numbers Lock obtained were solid enough to grab the attention of several labels and the bidding war began. However, in December of 2005 Lock signed with Nashville-based Word Records, making him the first hip hop artist signed by the label.
Lock has made significant contributions in the past couple of years, scoring hits with the recording industry..s most bankable artists. His lyrical credits are showcased on: EMI..s Kierra ..KiKi.. Sheard..s Just Until remix CD, Trinitee 5:7..s upcoming 2006 Gospo Centric release, Toby Mac..s Renovating Diverse City, Verbs Unlocked CD, and EMI upstart group V3..s 2006 release. With his untitled inaugural Word release complete, the label..s ..1 draft pick continues to tour with Toby Mac while making a string of solo appearances in preparation for his 2007 release.
The project features 12 scorching tracks produced by Two Grammy nominated producers David ..Da Monsta.. Lynch and producer Ric "Form" Robbins. The soul and rock influenced CD includes appearances from The Katinas and Trinitee 5:7, which bring a welcomed diversity to the strong lyrical delivery by Lock. His unique sound is sure to resonate with multi-cultural audiences who have long awaited a solid offering from a spiritually-conscious hip hop artist.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at what we have become
So ashamed undone
Hiding from the one that sees it all
Rise and fall
Out laws on the run
Look at what we have become
How much farther can this go
Im driving slow
And it's taking it's tole
Your love I can believe
Patiently waiting for me
Your all I need
And still I make your
Heartbreak
I don't want to be the one to make you
Heartbreak
Here we go again I'm crumbling
My heart aches
Every time I walk away
I feel your heartbreak heartbreak
Running with now where to go
No where to run but into your arms
Go
Heartbreak heartbreak heartbreak
Bang bang boomerang
Knock me to my knees again
Flash back to and I tried to fi
ght the difference
Between the lines
Warning signs
Bang bang boomerang
Knock me to my knees again
How much farther can this go
Where's the end of this road
Im driving slow
And it's taking it's tole
Your love I can believe
Patiently waiting for me
Your all I need
And still I make your
Heartbreak
I don't want to be the one to make you
Heartbreak
Here we go again I'm crumbling
My heart aches
Every time I walk away
I feel your heartbreak heartbreak
Running with now where to go
No where to run but to your arms
Go
Heartbreak heartbreak
Hold up
Running till I'm winded
Tormented very last breath don't spend it
Brokenhearted to mended
The song "Heartbreak" by Shonlock is an emotional journey of two people who are living as outlaws and feeling shame and guilt. They both are aware of their wrongdoing, but there is nowhere to go, no one to seek shelter, and they are aware of being watched by someone who sees it all. They are running away from their past, trying to escape, but the hole in their hearts keeps growing. The singer talks about the love of his life and how he has made her heart break again and again. He knows that he is the one who makes her suffer, and every time he walks away, he feels her heart break. The song is about realizing one's mistakes and how it affects others, and how it's easy to hurt people with our actions.
The singer uses a metaphor of being an outlaw to describe his situation. He and his partner's relationship is illegal or questionable, which makes him feel like he is running continuously away from the world. But he realizes that the only way to survive the painful journey is by accepting the love of the one who is waiting for him patiently. He knows that she is his only hope, and without her, he is nothing. However, despite his love for her, he continuously keeps breaking her heart, and he doesn't want to be the one who causes her pain anymore.

Here this is the part I didn't See on any of the Lyrics websites I looked at, though the parts of this I wasn't sure about are in parenthesis
Hold up
Running till I'm winded
Tormented very last breath don't spend it
Brokenhearted to mended to mended in spended
face to face with the one I feel it
get to get it right Just give me a minute
part my tongue but you know how im in it
the body is a temple the windows are tinted
The naked eye can't see what in it
() (pretended) you gave me that open-ended and extended love
beginning of ending befriending the foolish
trending broke the flow for us
I hope that helped a little bit, but I'm still not sure about some of the lyrics I am fairly new to rap
Give me a little bit more time And I think I can figure out the parts I wasn't completely sure about.
