[Intro, sung] Twelve words I never say out loud... Some things you keep off the cloud [Verse 1, sung] I got keys that I don't share, not with anybody Keys up in the vault and keys up on the piano, I play both when it's rainin' City gave me keys but the city keep on changin' Not your keys, not your coins, not your peace if they can page it in I learned that the hard way, custody is sacred Gave my trust to institutions, watched 'em freeze and vacate it [Chorus, sung] So I hold my own keys now Hold my own peace now Everything that matters stay in cold... deep down You can get my time but you can never get the seed phrase Some doors in my life, only family got the key made [Verse 2, rap] Sovereignty a practice, not a word up on a poster Every key I ever held, I had to earn it bein' sober Minded. Grinded. Twelve-word reminder That the man who holds his own is hard to find, and harder... to compromise I seen 'em sell they soul for the liquidity Access to my life is the scarcest commodity [Outro, sung] Keys... keys... Play a minor chord for everybody actin' major Keys... keys... I still open my own doors, I ain't waitin' on a savior
