key by the three 

Three kilograms of cocaine. A key is standard slang for a kilogram of drugs, most often cocaine. By stating "by the three," one is saying that they buy cocaine 3 kilograms at a time with the intention of dealing. The following lines show this more. The statement of a Louis Nap Sack is in reference to a Louis Vuitton bag where he holds all of the cocaine or "work" to be dealt.

The other definition for key by the three is wrong, although the "when I chirp shorty chirp back" is in reference to cell phones.

Key by the three, when I chirp shorty chirp back.

Where I'm holding all the work at.

These two definitions are both right. In the popular T.I. song, What You Kno, T.I. uses a metaphor to bring together the act of sellin cocaine three kilograms (keys) at a time with the act of calling to arrange the deal. When he says "key by the three" he is stating that he has three keys of cocaine and also that he is using his nextel to arrange the deal.

Three in the key 

This term is not to be confused by Basketball Rule 5 (Violations), Article 26. Presented by the International Basketball Federation or FIBA: “The three second rule” also known as “Three in the key”. But instead this term represents a sexual act that is performed by one female (referred to as The Key) who is accompanied by three male percipients (players). And sometimes a fourth male (referred to as The Reff) is involved but not in a physical manner.

To perform the sexual position of Three in the Key the female lays on her side while one male inserts his penis into her vagina, another male inserts his dick into her asshole, and the third player has his dick in the females mouth. Hence the name Three in the key. (Because there is three players IN the key) Now if there is a fourth male involved he politely sits of to the side “Reffing” the situation (Jerking off). When the fourth male is at the point of climax (if he as one) he blows on a whistle then cums on the female thus “calling” the Three in the key violation.

Jack: What do you mean?
Dean: You didn’t hear that Chris and some of his basketball teammates went Three in the key with her last night at the party.
Jack: FUCK!
