Key To The City

(Verse 1: Kaleb Mitchell)
This that "ooh I told you it was finna happen", but you ain't believe me, so I'm laughing at em
I failed math but when it come to wordplay I'm Gabby Douglas with the acrobatics
The bars flame I turn beats to ash, you better pay attention so you catch em all
And I ain't close to my peak yet but I'm chewing rappers on my Jeffrey Dahmer, oh man
Don't come to me with the problems no
Don't you know Mitchell be wylin', woah
Labels used to play possum aye
Now they tryna send deposits, woah
Honestly I done predicted this, God gave the vision I ran with it
They used to call me an amateur
Now they want features, they stalking my manager, woah
If you never learn a thing from me, I want you to know anything's possible
That's what my mother used to tell me everyday when she was up in that hospital
I was just a little nappy headed joker with a pencil and a pad
Now I'm on the verge of bringing everything to pass and I'm feeling like

(Hook)
I need the key to the city
I feel like, I need the key to the city
Stayed true, stayed down, so I came up
Man I need the key to the city
I feel like, yeah yeah, I need the key to the city
Man I need the key to the city
Yeah, yeah

(Verse 2: Topi Mandela)
Even on my darkest days trust me imma shine until I leave them dazed
No one saw this coming thought it was a phase, now I'm out here tryna redirect the praise
G-O-D I'll D-I-E before I Q-U-I-T quietly accumulate the numbers on em
*shhh* Niggas tryna slumber on em
Guess I gotta spaz all summer on em
This for every cold winter night in Michigan when I was sleeping on the floor
Momma on the phone, with the landlord, couldn't even buy me candy at the store, yeah
Pent up aggression I'm living to make a killin
Imma hero and a villain I do it for the civilians
Eyes on millions
Spare no feelings
Fuck being polite, police indict, kids who look like me in the streets at night, uh
But I don't wanna see my people suffer, even though the streets made me tougher
Relocated now I'm southern
I be rolling through Dallas
These hearts so careless, put my city on the atlas

(Hook)
I need the key to the city
I feel like, I need the key to the city
Stayed true, stayed down, so I came up
Man I need the key to the city
I feel like, yeah yeah, I need the key to the city
Man I need the key to the city
Yeah, yeah
