[Intro]
Professor
Yeah
Professor
[Verse 1]
I ain't never had to beg for nothing
Only had to ask once
I'm done asking for favors
You here to say it what you want
Everything say green money
Say why I gotta work hard
He said you think this was good enough
I said it got me this far
Told me that [?] was working for us just to make it, get by
But could we survive if he took it all and left us naked?
Got into college, we don't use it
Dash in the dark, running [?]
The world we give it, we abuse it
We hear the truth, but we refuse it
Drown all the voices in this music
[Hook]
I get it, I get it, I get it
Be fresh but stay humble
Be you, or be nothing
I'm with you, I'm with it, I'm with it
Keep open eyes, homie
Please watch a ride on me
If I come land in your city
If I keep working though
I could have everything
Including the keys to the city
Yeah, the keys to the city
Yeah, the keys to the city
Yeah, the keys to the city
[Verse 2]
Had my backs to them walls
And had nowhere to go
Thought I was safe, but that safety come off
When you out on your own
Learn to survive, or go crazy inside
Boy you out here alone
This life is a game, but ain't nobody playing
You don't get no pawns
Nah
[Verse 3]
Money's king, sh**
Pocket, b**h is heavy when your bread out
Everybody notice
When you walking with your handout
Damn [?] when you cold, suit and handcuffs
If you wasn't real
From the start, shoulda said something
Can't let that stop me
You hear me? You copy?
Comprende? You got it?
Haters gonna come, but you take that [?]
Put [?], yo take it, take off like a rocket
So I be taking them hooks
And throw up on the beat
Like Elijah one taught me
Flicka flicka, hit a bucket, swish it
You ain't grinding floor
With just another n***a
[Hook]
I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
Be fresh but stay humble
Be you, or be nothing
I'm with you, I'm with it, I'm with it
Keep open eyes, homie
Please watch a ride on me
If I come land in your city
If I keep working though
I could have everything
Including the keys to the city
Yeah, the keys to the city
