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 comin back like the Prodigal Son, and I got a son And I don't want my ways followin him, the streets swallowin him And I don't want no hollows in him His momma said she see his father in him, hope it's the good thing 'Til life was over is when I understood things Standin 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?

They know me on the streets where I grew If you ain't from 'round here, you get gunned down here Make the best from the least on the quest for the keys to the kingdom... [Chorus] [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 sniffin lines, poppin thongs in Ibetha Ether - nigga, are we not thy brother's keeper?" Allah u Akbar, ah-bracadabra 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, givin life out to the lifeless Givin Christ out to the Christless, my handle with the dice has 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 they'll never Jimmy DeGrassi me This goes out to those that choose to use Disrespectful views on original Jews The chosen people of God gettin 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, niggaz got the +Ill street blues From Chi-Raq to England, me and Common droppin bombs like the baby planes as we establish the kingdom [Outro] (And the streets say) Ohh yes (And the people say) My Lord (And we all say) Ahhh-ahh..AHH-ah-ah-ahhhhh
