Doodie Lo and Mozzy Silence The Haters In “GLOCK’D IN”
In “GLOCK’D IN,” Doodie Lo implies that he wants all the smoke. Once the spine-chilling trap production sounds off, the OTF rapper lets his trigger finger do the talking as he addresses the opps. He wastes no time making it clear that he’s ready to confront anyone in his way. As the song continues, Doodie Lo retaliates against the naysayers by listing his accomplishments.
From there, Doodie Lo challenges his haters to meet him outside. The following rhymes show others that he stands on business, “Tell them boys let’s hoop it up/I f**k with alleyoops and fadeaways/N***as better not play today/I give a f**k about this venue or what they paid me/You’ll get spanked today n***a.”
The song ends with Doodie Lo abiding by the street code. Lyrics like “These n***as know me well/Detectives know the case cold as hell/All my n***as had to go jail about throwing shells” prove that he’s about that life.
