Key 2 The City Lyrics - Nipsey Hussle

[Hook:] 

Four fifty-five, I drive by doin 100* 

And I stay blunted 

Cause I do what I need 

And that's the reason that they love me, 

Cause I've been making money, 

(Yea) I got the key to the city! 

It feels good to be on top, I got the key to the city! 

This is how it is to be a big shot!

[Verse 1:] 

Listen 

Black on black Mercedes 

Tatoo all my lady friends 

Nipsey on they titties, more game than ESPN 

I turn these hoes to lesbians 

Make her fuck her best of friends 

Get head for one hour, smoke a blunt then catch my second wind 

Hoppin off my tour bus, she probably jus had sex with him 

She's out of your possession, 

You cannot protect her then 

South Central that's my residence 

Daily like those seven cents 

And if I'm not the king of this 

I must be the president. 

O.M.G I'm I'll as shit! 

Money is my medicine 

Shout out to my niggas in the pin text messaging 

Shout out to them bitches gettin it in, in they crevices 

Conjugal visits make sex seem so irrelevant. 

Forget about the risk we took, I never can 

Rebel in this white mans world until they burry him. 

Being broke is so un-American, 

That's why I'm screaming all money yea, until the end! 

Nigga!

It feels good to be on top, I got the key to the city! 

This is how it is to be a big shot! 

[Verse 2:] 

Pull up in that old school, me and lil Shady Blue 

Fresh up out the county jail, they held us both without no bail 

Ten stacks to my lawyer, said a prayer that we prevail 

Jealous niggas hated that 

Love to see a nigga fail 

Miss me with that bro I love you 

Southern nigga be for real 

Fake as four dollar bills 

Hit the gas, we out of here! 

On our way to Fox Hills, spending like we got a mil 

Smokin so much kush it got us feeling like we off a pill 

They know we got dollars still 

The bitches know they got the bill 

Eatin Benihana's daily, drive my baby moma crazy 

Name a nigga that could fade me 

Pussy that does not persuade me 

Got a swag that make them hate me 

Plus we never shop at Macy's. 

Louis V, and Gucci maybe 

Neiman Marcus, blue Mercedes 

We was both familar faces 

Spendin thousands, dodging cases 

And fuck a bottle bring the case is what we told the waitress, 

And pop Clicquot for all of ya'll that tried to play us.

[Verse 3:] 

Dre past, Def Jam, Capital Alantic too 

Thought that I'll be dead or doing life, cause what I rap is true. 

Just another you know who 

Sam had some time to do 

And yea Steve is cool, but I heard Vick you's a animal. 

Fuck what they was talking about 

We just did what we had to do 

Became the most valuable, after I dropped volume 2 

On the West Coast at least, now for the West Coast I speak 

Cause on a level 4 with Gilbon is where I'm supposed to be 

I be on some business shit 

Ya'll bring out the loc in me 

And like a broke weed head, my pistol will smoke for free 

E money ain't gone know the streets 

Gotta keep her close to me 

Put that on the man that's on the cross on my rosary 

Wasn't always banking, but I speak about it openly 

No shame in my game 

I did my thing, on the coldest streets 

Who's the hottest on the West 

All you niggas know it's me, 

So tell whoever got it locked, that Nipsey Hussle stole the key! 

Nigga!
