R. City, también conocido como Rock City, es un dúo musical compuesto por los hermanos Theron y Timothy Thomas. Nacidos y criados en St. Thomas, en las Islas Vírgenes de los Estados Unidos, estos talentosos hermanos crecieron inmersos en una rica cultura musical que abarcaba desde el reggae y el calypso hasta el hip-hop y el R&B.
La pasión por la música en los Thomas fue evidente desde una edad temprana. Sus padres, músicos de la iglesia, les enseñaron a apreciar la diversidad y a encontrar inspiración en una amplia gama de géneros. Este trasfondo cultural diverso fue fundamental para desarrollar su estilo musical único.
En 2000, los hermanos decidieron mudarse a Miami con el objetivo de hacer una carrera en la industria musical. A través de arduo trabajo, poco a poco empezaron a ganar reconocimiento como compositores. Trabajaron para artistas de renombre como Akon, Usher, y Chris Brown, lo que les permitió establecerse en la escena musical.
La dupla comenzó a hacerse un nombre dentro de la industria gracias a su capacidad para escribir canciones con letras potentes y melodías pegajosas. Su gran talento como compositores les permitió salir de las sombras y brillar por cuenta propia.
En 2015, R. City lanzó su álbum debut titulado What Dreams Are Made Of. El primer sencillo, "Locked Away", que contó con la colaboración de Adam Levine de Maroon 5, se convirtió rápidamente en un éxito global. La canción

Locked Away
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
If a judge 'for life' me, would you 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
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know, would you stick around?
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?
Skiddly-down-down-down-dang
All I want is somebody real, who don't need much
A gal 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?
Girl me need to know
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know, would you stick around?
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?
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 gal who's always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (need me?)
Tell me, tell me, do you love me?
Or is you just tryna play me?
Cause I need a girl to hold me down for life
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?
Would you still love me the same?
