M.C. K~swift - Keys Lyrics

I would quit my job if I ain't like what I was doing
Never made much moolah from my musical pursuing
Didn't make a full commitment so I only seen a fraction
Of the action that can happen when the craftin' match the passion
That's a fair assessment
I can't try about it
I ain't satisfied
I won't lie about it
In the past I tried to shroud it
I just want the accolades
From Hip Hop heads around the world who say my name with claps and praise
And I'd be glad to trade twice the dough for half the fame
I don't need no fans if that means that I'm relaxed and paid
So I keep my job cuz I enjoy stability
But let me find a way to pay my rent, food and utilities
Off of my rap ability
Shit
You'll never hear of me
Outside of being among my supporters
I'll be chill and deep
Off in the cut some f*cking where, minding my own business
And if you see me with them then you know they go-getters
The key to happiness is self love
Opening these doors to build my wealth up
Never hear me praying "heaven help us"
I'd rather use all of my tools and lift myself up
The key to happiness is self love
Opening these doors to build my wealth up
Never hear me praying "heaven help us"
I'd rather use all of my tools and lift myself up
I say "no regrets" but recognize the stupid shit
I like to spend my money on like junk food and exclusive kicks
I gotta choose betwixt benefits and foolishness
And keep my brain from being tricked by Instagram illusionists
Manipulating perception
We pressing on them hearts
Not addressin' the lessons that's really pressing on your heart
Stressin' what's before your vision?
A less significant part of reality is what's seen
There's greater wisdom in the dark
I allow my lids to rest and take note of my breath
More precise in navigation so I've slowed up my steps
Cuttin' out the scenic route for now, I'm goin' direct
I'm more effective and more efficient the older I get
It's only natural
Practical tasks get done casual
I relax, recline my seat back and run raps through
The impact's intended to lace cats with mad jewels
The Black man is God
The Black woman is that too
The key to happiness is self love
Opening these doors to build my wealth up
Never hear me praying "heaven help us"
I'd rather use all of my tools and lift myself up
The key to happiness is self love
Opening these doors to build my wealth up
Never hear me praying "heaven help us"
I'd rather use all of my tools and lift myself up
My approach to life may seem unconventional
But I move intentional
With love that's unconditional
It's ever present in every effort
I used to second guess but now I'm all gas to the petal
I'm effervescent
Bubblin' grub in the pot until it pop
I've got struggles but not nothin' that troubles me lots
I plot hustles and juggle a couple huddles of guap
I'm doing my rain dance to get the puddles to drop
No man is an island, I'm tryna stay aflot
My body is my temple so I worship there the most
The universe is mental so every thought is a host
Of possibility that's endless like a bottomless mimos'
Toast to the dreamers, teachers and the doers
My eyes is to the skies but my speech is from the sewers
Cuz dirty work's required on the journey of renewal
One's fertilizer is another one's manure
The key to happiness is self love
Opening these doors to build my wealth up
Never hear me praying "heaven help us"
I'd rather use all of my tools and lift myself up
The key to happiness is self love
Opening these doors to build my wealth up
Never hear me praying "heaven help us"
I'd rather use all of my tools and lift myself up
