Lyrics
[Intro]
See how the sun and the moon bow for you?
But you won't open your eyes
Omo oba ma gbagbe
Ranti oruko baba e
Oh
[PreChorus]
Tick tock, pretty baby
You can get it back, don't you waste it
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh, yeah (You're the key to the kingdom)
[Chorus]
Oh, you are the remedy, don't know what's inside
But you're the key to the kingdom
You're the key to the kingdom
Uh, so believe
Even if you can't see, I'll never leave
'Cause you're the key to the kingdom
You're the key to the kingdom
[Verse 1]
Here's some things you have to know
It go rough for man to grow
When you feel you've had enough
You gotta breathe
Just remember who you are
If you forget, look to the stars
Even the strong get weak
But you're the key, you're the key
[PreChorus]
Tick tock, pretty baby
You can get it back, don't you waste it
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Tick tock, pretty baby (Tick tock, pretty baby)
You can get it back, don't you waste it (Get it back, don't you waste it)
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh, yeah (You're the key to the kingdom)
[Chorus]
Oh, you are the remedy
Don't know what's inside
But you're the key to the kingdom
You're the key to the kingdom
Uh, so believe
Even if you can't see, I'll never leave
'Cause you're the key to the kingdom
You're the key to the kingdom
Zaga dat
[Verse 2]
Just like the tree
Just like the Chinese bamboo tree
See, eyes might not see
The greatness inside you that lies within
Oya, come sit pon your throne
You know you no go stay down for long
Whenever in doubt and alone
Just remember, you're the king inna the kingdom
[PreChorus]
Tick tock, pretty baby
You can get it back, don't you waste it
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Tick tock, pretty baby (Tick tock, pretty baby)
You can get it back, don't you waste it (Get it back, don't you waste it)
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh, yeah (You're the key to the kingdom)
[Chorus]
Oh, you are the remedy
Don't know what's inside
But you're the key to the kingdom
You're the key to the kingdom
Uh, so believe
Even if you can't see, I'll never leave
'Cause you're the key to the kingdom
You're the key to the kingdom
[Outro]
See how the sun and the moon bow for you?
