That's Life (Key to the City)

Every direction I turn, it's like somebody's infected with negative energy
That's the reason
More than tenderly, Yeah
Yeah
It's him, Double R
It's only one him. You know that, right
Yo

Every direction I turn, it's like somebody's infected with negative energy
That's the reason they burn
Weed up, when they letting off steam, they steam up
When the backstabs and subs don't work, they team up
I just want more positive conversations, leveling up
I don't want to hear about no gossip or who whip got keyed up
Don't tell me who got locked up, tell me who done cleaned up
You out here promoting celebrities, but never big your team up
Pick your team up, get your green up
Stop trying to keep up
Doing that, you gon' have to keep your heat tucked
Sometimes I miss my friends, I wish we could talk like old times
But they love talking about other niggas, y'all could do that on ya'll own time
That's the curse of being the person everybody go to
When they need advice, cause yours be working
Why they only come to me when shit not working
And when I come to them, it feel like I'm a burden
Told everybody, with an ear, my business when I was hurting

That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody come to me with their problems)
That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody know that I could solve them)
That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody come to me with their problems)
That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody know that I could solve them)

Out here, niggas be snakes, they hate
Arguing 'bout who chain real or fake
He got them red boots, you think it's stupid
Why you worried about what he did with his cake
Y'all love to gossip, I can't relate
Why you don't talk about what's on your plate?
Why you don't talk about what's in your safe?
And them crooked yellow teeth in your face
I could see the jealousy in your face
And the way you walking, see the heat on your waist
Cause he a nobody on his block, he know it'll change if he caught a case
Or he gotta be dripped in fashion
Shot like Dame, with a passion rapping
Karmas a bitch
You don't like people talking about you, but you do the same
Taking turns backstabbing
You just ignorant to it
And let me tell you one more sin
You can't vent to somebody about somebody they resent
Picture adding more fuel to a fire already lit, with kerosene
In comparison, it's accurate
In their petty war, they gon' add you in
Now, who I'm supposed to talk to? Serious question
Now, who I'm supposed to talk to? Nobody to talk to
Nobody to run to
Nobody to lean on
So I gotta keep on, keeping on
Yeah

That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody come to me with their problems)
That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody know that I could solve them)
That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody come to me with their problems)
That's not right, but that's life
(I got the key to the city, so everybody know that I could solve them)
