The Key Lyrics
[00:03.90] OK, I can see you held it down and learnt patience,
[00:06.61] Cause some reasons are without their explanations,
[00:08.99] This is my song so let me explain the situation,
[00:11.11] But wont air your business out girl, cause that's a bait ting,
[00:13.82] I seen you at the station like its work your going,
[00:16.30] Money have fe mek so just keep doing what you're doing,
[00:18.74] It's crazy cause together we could have made g's,
[00:21.15] Cause I did and truthfully you bright like me,
[00:23.50] The only real difference is you slyer than me,
[00:25.82] Your need for attention makes you attract the beef,
[00:28.12] Ironically I use to say you were a bad cow,
[00:30.55] You a funny little girl with a funny little style,
[00:33.02] I know you heard the truth I know you read between the lines,
[00:35.26] I might circle the truth but I will not tell a lie,
[00:37.70] I remember the time I came your yard with a knife,
[00:40.69] I don't wanna tek life but I would of tek life,
[00:42.95] But im bigger than that now I can walk from a row,
[00:45.28] My days on road has shown me life is like gold,
[00:47.59] And plus this world is big enough for us both,
[00:49.95] I know you was down I also know that you coped,
[00:52.14] I hope that mean you learnt to slow your roll,
[00:54.54] And keep your mouth closed,
[00:56.14] A proper attitude is better than fancy close,
[00:58.14] So as the chapter close that's how the story goes,
[01:00.58] As I've grown I've learnt that friends turn to foes.
[01:02.64] CHORUS
[01:04.01] I heard you got your yard now
[01:04.67] Fully grown now
[01:05.32] It's not an armshouse
[01:06.32] Cause I ovastand
[01:07.54] Ovastanding is the key key
[01:09.86] Ovastanding is the key key
[01:11.97] I heard you got your car now
[01:13.59] I seen you round town
[01:14.88] It's not a armshouse
[01:16.03] Cause I ovastand
[01:17.22] Ovastanding is the key key,
[01:19.68] Ovastanding is the key key
[01:21.78] BRIDGE
[01:26.10] I don't really care what you feel like
[01:28.20] I aint got no time to waste on you
[01:30.66] I don't really care what you wanna say
[01:33.13] You can keep talking till your blue in the tooth
[01:35.46] I'm getting older now starting to make sense of it,
[01:38.82] Seeing the signs reading minds like hypnotist,
[01:41.25] Understand the figures like arithmetics and my guess is,
[01:44.45] People are bad mind,
[01:45.88] Insecurity breads hate it's a fact find,
[01:48.07] In fact im sure it's incurable,
[01:50.46] Some people positive while some people are negative and totally oblivious to the harm they cause,
[01:55.47] For every Malcom X there is a president bush,
[01:57.56] For every ambitious soul, there's a coach potato,
[02:00.02] Real said turn off the arcade man the games over,
[02:02.81] This is the takeover taking the haters over,
[02:04.05] Maybe if they had something else to do they wouldn't watch you,
[02:08.74] Too busy with they bizz but now with kids having kids it's gonna get worse than this,
[02:12.39] Only just realising what mama said,
[02:14.65] By the sweat of mans brow he shall eat bread,
[02:16.99] Stay focused on your path like a vegan dread,
[02:19.43] And remember they hate to see you smile,
[02:21.39] Your unique style, your everything there not,
[02:24.03] If you sitting in a room with darkness and the lights come on
[02:26.68] You'd have to cover your eyes, overstand the lines,
[02:28.75] Check the paragraphs speaking in parables,
[02:31.14] Call this the manual for caging animals the haters.
[02:40.87]
