Lyrics Key to the City - Kaleb Mitchell , Topi Mandela

This that oh I told you what 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 Gabbie 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 wilding woah
Labels used to play pause em aye, now they tryna send deposits well
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 stuck with my manager woah
If you never learned a thing from me I want you to know anythings possible
That's what my mother used to tell me everyday when she was up in the 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
Stay true stay down so I came up
I need the key to the city
I feel like, I need the key to the city
And I need the key to the city
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 spazz all summer on em
This what 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
Pent up aggression I'm living to make a killin imma hero and a villain I do it for the civillians, eyes on millions, spare no feelings, beep being polite, police indict, kids who look like me in the streets at night
But I don't wanna see my people suffer, even though the streets made me tougher
Relocated now I'm southern, they be roaming 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
Stay true stay down so I came up
I need the key to the city
I feel like, I need the key to the city
And I need the key to the city
