Tell me, get, get the keys to the kingdom
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Tell me, get, get the keys to the kingdom
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, yeah
My, oh
Second row of the church with my hood on
My homie used to rap, he was about to get put on
At his funeral, listening to this church song
His family yelling and screaming, I heard form
A cold world, that's why we pack heaters
Listening to this preacher, as he trying to reach us
I'ma need to go back, I gots to get him
Back and forth in these streets, that's the rhythm
Revenge is supposed to be the Lord's, but I use my own accord
When I seen him on the porch, cost my man his life
I can't afford not to hit him
Shots ripping through his true religion denim
These streets is my religion
I stood over him, his life is over then
Now these keys got me locked up with old demand
Thought these was the keys for me to roll the bins
They ended up in my hands
It's like I stopped being the keys for my life to end
Help me, yeah, get the keys, to the kingdom
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Help me, yeah, get the keys, to the kingdom
And the streets say, and the people say
And we all say
My money ain't straight, my fam ain't straight
Ain't wanna push keys, heaven couldn't wait
I was hurt and couldn't get no work
You created me from dust, that's why I did dirt
You said that the last shall be first
Now I'm in a hearse, what's this cash really worth?
My whole life I had to worry about eating
I ain't had time to think about what I believe in
When the days of the kingdom of Chicago will come
I'm coming back like the prodigal son
And I got a son, and I don't want my ways following him
The streets swallowing him, and I don't want no hollows in him
His mama say she see his father in him
Hope it's the good things, till life is over
It's when I understood things, standing at the gates
Cause I know you've forgiven what I've done
I'm your son, do I have the keys to get in?
Help me get, get the keys
To the kingdom
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Help me get, get the keys
To the kingdom
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sweet Lord Jesus, tell the police is to let it breathe
My sin and father's seed, got it sent me by the C
See my trying to eat, eat whatever's on your plate
Save some for me, the worst things in life
I'm sitting six feet, trying to hop the gate to heaven
Cause I couldn't get a key, but these *** play for keeps
And I gotta hold my own, trying to watch my back
Cause these stripes ain't free
We still waiting in the water
Walk me and *** marinating in the water
Lena took a puff and then she gave it to my father
Used to take the bullets out so I can play with the revolver
Satan serenading ever since I was a tyrant
Tell him talk is cheap
Living for the diner, so a guy we trust
Lead a prayer to my mama though
Another *** out of control, just walking my soul
Whoa, litter with the abuse, they wasn't for show
I promise every pistol was used
See, I was waking up afraid to see my name on the news
Broad day, bad face, giving *** the blues
Who you? They know me on the streets where I grew
If you ain't from around here, you get gunned down here
Make the best from the least
On the quest for the keys to the kingdom
Help me just get the keys to the kingdom
Who you?
Who you?
Make the best from the least
Yeah, get the keys to the kingdom
Who you?
And the streets say
Oh yeah
And the people say
I don't care
And we all say
I don't care
And the streets say
Oh yeah
And the people say
I don't care
And we all say
Ah, ah, ah
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom
Yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
See
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom
Ooh
And the streets say
Oh yeah
And the people say
And we all say
And the streets say
And the people say
And we all say
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And the streets say

And we all say
And the streets say
And the people say
And we all say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
