Songwriter: Mac Miller
[Verse 1]
Yeah, cocaine mountains until I overdose (Overdose)
It's me and this money, sittin' alone, I know (I know)
It's gettin' harder to get along with my dad
I been feelin' like he grew jealous of everything that I have, I swear (I swear)
They don't teach you 'bout reality (No)
With a super model on the penthouse balcony (Yeah)
Me and my homies got a death wish (A death wish)
So, God, can you direct me to the exit please? (Woo)
I been waitin' on a miracle, I give my life for that emblem
That say wealthy on my steerin' wheel
That pain is an illusion, but that fear is real
You either here to die or here to kill
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, best believe in envy
Look outside my window and the evil gon' tempt me, uh
A model bitch with double D's and she pretty
'Bout to cause a riot, who the fuck comin' with me? (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
I got the key to the city, it's time to open the door
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
They was swearin' they my homies, they don't know me no more
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
I got the key to the city, time to open the door
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
They was swearin' they my homies, they don't know me no more
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah
Pittsburgh (Yeah,) live and die in my Pittsburgh (Yeah)
Everything became different when I gave my dad that Fisker (Skrr)
Young home owner, out of control, I don't know sober (No)
Feel alone again, grab my phone and call hoes over (Please)
The next day I just forget her (Just forget her)
Unless that pussy somethin' to remember (Keep it wetter)
I could live inside this chaos 'til forever ('Til forever)
But the sooner I reach clarity the better (Woo)
Live inside of this jungle, watch me crumble under the pressure (Pressure)
Everyday is like, "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you," man, I'm fed up (Man, I'm fed up)
I pick my head up (Pick my head up,) and hold my feet down (Hold my feet down)
All my homies gon' eat now (It's time)
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, best believe in envy
Look outside my window and the evil gon' tempt me, uh
A model bitch with double D's and she pretty
'Bout to cause a riot, who the fuck comin' with me? (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
I got the key to the city, it's time to open the door
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
They was swearin' they my homies, they don't know me no more
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
I got the key to the city, time to open the door
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
They was swearin' they my homies, they don't know me no more
[Outro]
Search for the solution to confusion that keep comin' on
You just trapped inside delusion, young man, run along, run along
It's so real, oh, it's so real
It's scary, terrifyin', yeah
What's my motherfuckin' name? What's my motherfuckin' name?
I don't know, either
Yeah, cocaine mountains until I overdose (Overdose)
It's me and this money, sittin' alone, I know (I know)
It's gettin' harder to get along with my dad
I been feelin' like he grew jealous of everything that I have, I swear (I swear)
They don't teach you 'bout reality (No)
With a super model on the penthouse balcony (Yeah)
Me and my homies got a death wish (A death wish)
So, God, can you direct me to the exit please? (Woo)

I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
I got the key to the city, time to open the door
I got the key to the city, I got the key to the city
