Kingdom Lyrics - Nobody's Smiling - Common

I do dirt, in search of a clear mind 

Money talk, somebody's gonna hear mine 

Grind early before 9: 30Annotate 

Got the nine and the thirty 

Kiss of death, you heard me? 

My world ain't worldly, any time could be my time 

I get high, but still ain't seen Chicago skyline 

In my prime, stakes is high cause it's beef 

Out here in these streets 

Everybody tryna eat off the same plate 

Dead presidents, we want the same face 

And to think, me and the president, we from the same place 

Four-hundred and twenty-one murders, ain't tryna be of the same fate 

If I die and go to heaven, will I make it through the main gate?

Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom 

Ooh 

Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom 

Ooh 

Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh 

Ah 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 yelling and screaming, I hurt for 'em 

A cold world that's why we pack heaters 

Listening to this preacher as he tryna reach us 

I'mma 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 him on the porch, cost my man his life, I can't afford not to hit him 

Shots ripping through his True Religion denim 

These streets was 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

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 coming back like the Prodigal Son, and I got a son 

And I don't want my waves following him, the streets swallowing him 

And I don't want no hollows in him, his momma said she see his father in him 

Hope it's the good things, 'til life was over is when I understood things 

Standing 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 

Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh

Sweet Lord Jesus, tell the polices to let a nigga breathe 

My sinning father see, got a shipment by the seas 

See my niggas tryna eat, eat whatever's on your plate 

Save some for me, the worst things in life come sitting six feet 

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

But these niggas play for keeps and I gotta hold my own 

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

We still wading in the water, cocaine, blunts, marinating in the water 

Lean and 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, niggas living for the dollar 

So in God we trust, leave the praying to my momma though 

Another motherfucker out of control, just walking my soles low 

Lit up with the abuse, they wasn't for show, I promise every pistol was used 

See I was waking up afraid to see my name on the news 

Broad day, bare faced, giving niggas the blues 

Nigga 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 on the quest for them keys 

To the kingdom 

Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom (yeah) 

Ooh (sing) 

Help me get, get the keys to the kingdom (yeah)
