DJ Khaled Ft Future & JAY-Z – I Got the Keys Lyrics

Updated

on

“I Got The Keys” is an anthem for success. The song channels DJ Khaled’s inspirational “major key” Snapchat mantra and is the second single from the his ninth studio album, also titled Major Key. Jay Z references winning the “Big Pimpin’” lawsuit, being the first of his kind in the rap game, and owning his recording masters — delivering subliminal jabs at any artist who isn’t “free” like him. As of July 29, 2016 the track has peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In an interview with Rap Radar Khaled explained that he traveled to Jay’s house in Los Angeles to play him the instrumental in his in-home studio.
I play him the record and I’m vibing, you know, I got that eye so I’m looking to the side, I don’t want him to know I’m looking, and I see him vibing. The first part is an instrumental so that’s when I’m really looking because, the great ones, that’s when they really just start going so I look and I just see him start rhyming in his head and mumbling… When the beat stopped, he’s just like, “Leave that for me.”
The next day Khaled was called back to the house to hear Hov’s contribution. The video announcing the partnership between Khaled and Roc Nation contains the footage of the first time Hov ever spat this first verse for Khaled.
During his We The Best Radio show Khaled announced that the video would premier after 2016’s BET Awards:
This video is powerful. It’s iconic. It’s amazing. First of all, Jay Z don’t shoot no videos. He barely shoots his own videos. It’s very rare that you see the icon Jay Z. Very rare.

Jay Z is known to not shoot many music videos, especially not for his features. But Khaled knew this was going to be an epic track, so he kept proposing to Hov that they shoot a video:

All our fans expect us … to go all out! I don’t want to drop this song without a video. Anybody else who got a Jay-Z song with Future would drop it right away. I held it … because if I had dropped it I wouldn’t have got the video. I told Jigga I want people to see and feel it. You the Don, so let’s give them a visual!

I Got the Keys Lyrics by DJ Khaled Ft Future & JAY-Z

[Intro: JAY-Z, Future & DJ Khaled]
808 Mafia
Uh, uh-uh-uh, DJ Khaled
We The Best music (Future, Future)
Oh, this what we doin’ here? Another one (Super, super)
I’ma have to put my jewellery on for this one
Wraith talk, Wraith talk, oh, we talkin’ that Wraith talk
Safe talk, safe talk (Uh), here we go talkin’ that safe talk
Major key alert Oh, we good now
Major bag alert, DJ Khaled
[Chorus: Future & JAY-Z]
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
We go to court, we gon’ plead the fifth (Slang)
I know the judge, I’ma shoot him some chips (Slang)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Major)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys

[Verse 1: Jay Z]
Niggas always askin’ me the key
‘Til you own your own you can’t be free
‘Til you’re on your own you can’t be me
How we still slaves in 2016?
Key to life, keep a bag comin’
Every night another bag comin’
I ain’t been asleep since ’96
I ain’t seen the back of my eyelids
I been speedin’ through life with no safety belt
One on one with the corner with no safety help
I perform like Josh Norman, I ain’t normal, nigga
Just a project nigga out in Beverly Hills, California, nigga
That Wraith talk, that’s foreign, nigga
Special cloth talk here
All my niggas from the mud damn near
All my niggas millionaires
We gon’ take it there, I swear
You gon’ think a nigga’s psychic
You ain’t seen nothin’ like this
I should probably copyright this
I promise they ain’t gonna like this

[Chorus: Future & JAY-Z]
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Ah!)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Slang)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Slang)
We go to court, we gon’ plead the fifth (Slang)
I know the judge, I’ma shoot him some chips (Slang)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Slang)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Woo!)

[Post-Chorus: Future & JAY-Z]
Radar, radar, oh, bitches ain’t even on my radar (Swish)
Radar, radar, oh, you ain’t on my radar (Swish)
Radar, radar, no, no, you hatin’ on my radar (Swish)
No, no, you bitches ain’t, bitches ain’t even on my radar (Swish)

[Verse 2: Jay Z]
I got a bag for lawyers, like, “Fuck your charges!”
Hop out the courtroom, like, “What charges?”
Big pimpin’ on your court steps
Case y’all ain’t notice, I ain’t lost yet
Y’all know it’s one of one
Soon as you hear that, “uh-uh”, uh (Right)
Y’all know the difference right?
From rap facts and fiction, right? Shit
Real life I’m like HOV, real life I’m life goals
In real life they’re like me? In real life I’m like, “No.”
My swag different (Mm), that bag different (Uh-huh)
My wife Beyoncé (Yeah), I brag different (Uh)
My baby Blue (What else?)
I dream in color (What else?)
That’s too much flavor (What else?)
I don’t rap to suckas (Ha!)
God bless you all, I only talk special talk
I only talk special cloth
Said I only talk special, ah!
[Chorus: Future & JAY-Z]
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Wraith talk)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Uh)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
We go to court, we gon’ plead the fifth (Slang)
I know the judge, I’ma shoot him some chips
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Slang)
I got them keys, the keys, the keys (Hah)

[Post-Chorus: Future & JAY-Z]
Radar, radar, oh, bitches ain’t even on my radar (Swish)
Radar, radar, oh, you ain’t on my radar (Swish)
Radar, radar, no, no, you hatin’ on my radar (Swish)
No, no, you bitches ain’t, bitches ain’t even on my radar (Ah!)

[Interlude: DJ Khaled & Future]
I got the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got the keys to all success!
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
We the best!
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
Roc Nation! Freebandz!
Secure the bag alert
Alert, alert, alert, alert, alert, alert
Alert, alert, alert, alert, we got ’em alert

[Chorus: Future]
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
We go to court, we gon’ plead the fifth
I know the judge, I’ma shoot him some chips
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
I got them keys, the keys, the keys
