keys to the city (remix) - jameel3dn lyrics

[refrain]
455, i drive by doing a hundred
and i stay blunted ’cause i do what i need
and that’s the reason that they love me
’cause i’ve been making money
i got the key to the city
it feels good to be on top, i got the key to the city
this is how it is to be a big shot

[verse 1]
speak the truth so real
independent no deal
i was going broke but so chill
down but came back mo’ ill
plan to make more bills
my dawg doug from mobile
murder the game slow k!ll
don’t do drugs no pills
speak my truth never fake
there was weeks i never ate
thankful just to set a plate
god make sure i’m always straight
i make plans set a date
hit my goals even if it’s late
sometimes i wonder of my fate
so much love but obsessed with hate
see what the hood create
broken families, no debate
sons dead, girls astray
cause we didn’t know the way
generations stuck with curses
stealing out my momma’s purses
wanted cash lacked a purpose
i was eight thinking worthless
stealing what i couldn’t purchase
police lights still make me nervous
witnessing illegal searches
dash cams would never surface
but we made it out the slums
taking l’s but now we won

[refrain]
455, i drive by doing a hundred
and i stay blunted ’cause i do what i need
and that’s the reason that they love me
’cause i’ve been making money
i got the key to the city
it feels good to be on top, i got the key to the city
this is how it is to be a big shot

[verse 2]
they was wishing i would fail
but i knew that i’d prevail
and my soul i’d never sell
got back up every time i fell
n*ggas never wish me well
keep your prayers to yourself
conditions bad a living h*ll
i make do with what’s been dealt
i ain’t got a tour bus
but i had to hit that nipsey flow
money root plant the seeds watch the grow
counting every decimal
always be intentional
considering my start i’m exceptional
the hood left me skeptical
the damage was preventable
but growing up jamaican we was
taught we was dispensable
we put the hood upon a pedestal
cause other places inaccessible
these places never love us
i place no value on the gutter
i put more value in my brothers
lets learn to love our mothers

[refrain]
455, i drive by doing a hundred
and i stay blunted ’cause i do what i need
and that’s the reason that they love me
’cause i’ve been making money
i got the key to the city
it feels good to be on top, i got the key to the city
this is how it is to be a big shot

[verse 3]
straight from the jane strip
they used to say i ain’t sh*t
now a king made it
they think a king gon cave in
my life been my training
save for rainy days
b*tch its always raining
judge me with the greatest
boy you is nameless
i invested every payment
i used to walk the pavement
they don’t like my attitude
hate it who i pass it too
we was on a dead end
had to find a different avenue
always showed gratitude
no matter the latitude
we was in h*ll
giving thanks for food
climbed out the bottom dawg
this song is like my monologue
to my success
and those who i brought along
failed but saw the light
even when it wasn’t bright
in the pit
still i kept success in sight
had throw blows
before we learn to fight
swing and miss
that’s how we learning life

[refrain]
455, i drive by doing a hundred
and i stay blunted ’cause i do what i need
and that’s the reason that they love me
’cause i’ve been making money
i got the key to the city
it feels good to be on top, i got the key to the city
this is how it is to be a big shot
