Kingdom Remix Lyrics - Common

[Hook] 

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 

(And the streets say) 

(And the people say) 

(And we all say) 

Ah yes, my Lord, Ah, Oh 

(And the streets say) 

(And the people say) 

(And we all say)

[Verse 1: Common] 

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?

[Verse 2: Vince Staples] 

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 

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, 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 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3: Jay Electronica] 

Nas hit me up on the phone like "Peace, Isa 

You know you need to preach how the pyramids of Giza 

Alone condemn Easter 

Instead of sniffing lines, popping thongs in Ibiza, Ether 

Nigga, are we not thy brother's keeper?" 

Allahu Akbar, abracadabra 

We used what we had to stay alive like MacGyver 

Started from the bottom, now we really, really here 

Started kinda blurry, now we really, really clear 

It's the Nat King unforgettable, black king on a pedestal 

The way he made words into edibles was incredible 

Verbs and spices, giving life out to the lifeless 

Giving Christ out to the Christ-less 

My handle with the dices been documented as priceless 

I roll 7's naturally 

Devils who used to laugh at me bow to me internationally 

Rappers I gave birth to shot at the God, blasphemy 

Told these motherfuckers to never Jimmy DeGrassi me 

This goes out to those that choose to use 

Disrespectful views on original Jews 

The chosen people of God getting slandered and abused 

In the streets and the news by the seed of Yakub 

The synagogues of Satan wanna keep us confused 

That's how we lose, niggas got the ill street blues 

From Chiraq to England 

Me and Common dropping bombs like the baby planes as we establish the kingdom
