feat. Vince Staples
2
[Spoken]
3
I do dirt, in search of a clear mind
4
Money talk, somebody's gonna hear mine
5
Grind early before 9:30
6
Got the nine and the thirty
7
Kiss of death, you heard me?
8
My world ain't worldly, any time could be my time
9
I get high, but still ain't seen Chicago skyline
10
In my prime, stakes is high cause it's beef
11
Out here in these streets
12
Everybody tryna eat off the same plate
13
Dead presidents, we want the same face
14
And to think, me and the president, we from the same place
15
Four-hundred and twenty-one murders, ain't tryna be of the same fate
16
If I die and go to heaven, will I make it through the main gate?
17
[Intro]
18
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom
19
Ooh
20
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom
21
Ooh
22
Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh
23
Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh
24
[Verse 1: Common]
25
Second row of the church with my hood on
26
My homie used to rap, he was about to get put on
27
At his funeral, listening to this church song
28
His family yelling and screaming, I hurt for "˜em
29
A cold world that's why we pack heaters
30
Listening to this preacher as he tryna reach us
31
I'mma need to go back, I gots to get 'em
32
Back and forth in these streets, that's the rhythm
33
Revenge is supposed to be the Lord's but I use my own accord
34
When I seen him on the porch, cost my man his life, I can't afford not to hit him
35
Shots ripping through his True Religion denim
36
These streets was my religion
37
I stood over him, his life is over then
38
Now these keys got me locked up with older men
39
Thought these was the keys for me to roll a Benz
40
They ended up being the keys for my life to end
41
[Hook]
42
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom (yeah)
43
Ooh (sing)
44
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom (yeah)
45
Ooh
46
Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh
47
(And the streets say)
48
(And the people say)
49
(And we all say)
50
Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh
51
(And the streets say)
52
(And the people say)
53
(And we all say)
54
[Verse 2: Common]
55
My money ain't straight, my fam ain't straight
56
Ain't wanna push kis, heaven couldn't wait
57
I was hurtin', couldn't get no work
58
You created me from dust, that's why I did dirt
59
You said that the last shall be first
60
Now I'm in a hearse, what's this cash really worth?
61
My whole life I had to worry about eatin'
62
I ain't have time to think about what I believe in
63
When the days of the kingdom for Chicago gon' come?
64
I'm coming back like the Prodigal Son, and I got a son
65
And I don't want my waves following him, the streets swallowing him
66
And I don't want no hollows in him, his momma said she see his father in him
67
Hope it's the good things, "˜til life was over is when I understood things
68
Standing at the gates "˜cause I know you've forgiven what I've done
69
I'm your son, do I have the keys to get in?
70
[Hook]
71
[Verse 3: Vince Staples]
72
Sweet Lord Jesus, tell the polices to let a nigga breathe
73
My sinning father see, got a shipment by the seas
74
See my niggas tryna eat, eat whatever's on your plate
75
Save some for me, the worst things in life come sitting six feet
76
Tryna hop the gate to heaven "˜cause I couldn't get a key
77
But these niggas play for keeps and I gotta hold my own
78
Tryna watch my back "˜cause these stripes ain't free
79
We still wading in the water, cocaine, blunts, marinating in the water
80
Lean and took a puff and then she gave it to my father
81
Used to take the bullets out so I could play with the revolver
82
Satan serenading ever since I was a toddler
83
Tell "˜em talk is cheap, niggas living for the dollar
84
So in God we trust, leave the praying to my momma though
85
Another motherfucker out of control, just walking my soles low
86
Lit up with the abuse, they wasn't for show, I promise every pistol was used
87
See I was waking up afraid to see my name on the news
88
Broad day, bare faced, giving niggas the blues
89
Nigga who you? They know me on the streets where I grew
90
If you ain't from around here you get gunned down here
91
Make the best from the least on the quest for them keys
92
To the kingdom
93
[Hook] (x3)
