Kingdom (feat. Vince Staples)

Help me get, get the keys to the Kingdom

Ooh

Help me get, get the keys to the Kingdom

Ooh

Oh, yes, my Lord

Ah-oh

Oh, yes, my Lord

Ah-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 yellin' and screamin', I hurt for 'em

A cold world, that's why we pack heaters

Listening to this preacher as he tryna reach us

I'ma need to go back, I gots to get 'em

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 'em on the porch, cost my man his life

I can't afford not to hear them shots rippin' 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 older men

Thought these was the keys for me to roll a Benz

They ended up being the keys for my life to end

Help me get, get the keys to the Kingdom (Yeah)

Ooh (Sing)

Help me get, get the keys to the Kingdom (Yeah)

Ooh

And the streets say (Oh, yes)

And the people say (My Lord)

And we all say (Ah-oh)

And the streets say (Oh, yes)

And the people say (My Lord)

And we all say (Ah-oh)

My money ain't straight, my fam ain't straight

Ain't wanna push kis, Heaven couldn't wait

I was hurtin', 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 eatin'

I ain't have time to think about what I believe in

When the days of the kingdom for Chicago gon' come?

I'm comin' back like the Prodigal Son, and I got a son

And I don't want my waves followin' him

The streets swallowin' him

And I don't want no hollows in him

His mama said she see his father in him

Hope it's the good things

Till life was over is when I understood things

Standin' 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 (Yeah)

Ooh (Sing)

Help me get, get the keys to the Kingdom (Yeah)

Ooh

Sweet Lord Jesus, tell the police to let a **** breathe

My sinnin' father see, got a shipment by the seas

See my **** tryna eat

Eat whatever's on your plate, save some for me

The worst things in life come sittin' six feet

Tryna hop the gate to Heaven 'cause I couldn't get a key

But these **** play for keeps, and I gotta hold my own

Tryna watch my back 'cause these stripes ain't free

We still wadin' in the water

Cocaine, blunts, marinatin' in the water

Leina took a puff and then she gave it to my father

Used to take the bullets out so I could play with the revolver

Satan serenading ever since I was a toddler

Tell 'em talk is cheap, **** livin' for the dollar

So in God we trust, leave the prayin' to my mama though

Another motherfucker out of control

Just walkin' my soles low, lit up with the abuse

They wasn't for show, I promise every pistol was used

See, I was wakin' up afraid to see my name on the news

Broad day, bare faced, givin' **** 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
