Lock Down d5, Homie
6.c4 Maróczy Setup · sung from White's side
Verse 1
Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3
Pawn to d4, knight takes d4 2...Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4
Knight to b5, he plays d6 4...e5 5.Nb5 d6
His d-pawn hangs back, soft and slow
The hole on d5, that's where I go
Chorus
Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3
Pawn to d4, knight takes d4 2...Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4
Knight to b5, pawn to c4 4...e5 5.Nb5 d6 6.c4
Lock down d5, homie, that's the law
Verse 2
Knight to c3, knight back to a3 6...Be7 7.N1c3 a6 8.Na3 Be6
Knight to c2, then rook takes c1 9.Nc2 Bg5 10.Be2 Bxc1 11.Rxc1
My half-open d-file, pressure's on
He plays knight f6, I castle short 11...Nf6 12.0-0 0-0
Queen to d2, my knight eyes d5 13.Qd2
Don't rush that knight to d5, let it ride
Chorus
Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3
Pawn to d4, knight takes d4 2...Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4
Knight to b5, pawn to c4 4...e5 5.Nb5 d6 6.c4
Lock down d5, homie, that's the law
Bridge
My c-pawn and e-pawn hold the line
Calm and closed, the queens stay on
Six of a hundred swap them early
He dreams of f5, I own d5
Chorus
Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3
Pawn to d4, knight takes d4 2...Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4
Knight to b5, pawn to c4 4...e5 5.Nb5 d6 6.c4
Lock down d5, homie, that's the law
Outro
Queen to d2, he plays queen b6 13.Qd2 Qb6
d5 is mine, that's how I flex
The whole song is one idea: pawns on c4 and e4 clamp the d5 hole left by his e5, the knights unwind c3 and a3 to c2 so the d-file pressure and the d5 outpost come slowly, and the one thing not to do is throw a knight onto d5 before the bind is complete.
