Joey Jones - The Key Lyrics

I lost sight of the sun, the dark corridor swallowed me whole
I clawed my way out, determined now to follow my goal
So don't listen when they tell you to quit
Just get up and get active perseverance and grit

Is all that we need, like ebony and ivory keys
My life was the same because black and white defined how we think
But I'll fight for this dream, until my last breath has escaped
I'm writing my fate and use my light to fight off the hate

My last day at school, Senior year was locked in the stall
Hyperventilating, wished i could go back to the fall
Before the event that would eventually change my whole life
And isolate me so deeply I'd be paying the price

There's days and there's nights the pain was truly unbearable though
And so I muscled up, preparing, was daring to hope yeah
I turned my nightmares into lucid dreams
And then I turned those lucid dreams into music streams

And I'ma keep on pushing when no one believes in me
Sacrifices the hard lessons that life is teaching we
Gotta do better, set examples for those that's watching
There's no stopping no quitting that's no option

Cause I got the keys the keys to change my life
And follow my dreams now
And they don't believe believe but that's alright
I'm putting in work now

Cause I got the keys the keys to change my life
And follow my dreams now
And they don't believe believe but that's alright
I'm putting in work now

So go and get your destiny, it ain't gon' wait for you
Put that pedal to the metal, I promise you'll make it through
Keep on pushing and don't ever settle or give up
Making it out just focus cause we don't need all their good luck

We just need to trust the reason why we started in love
The heart of the art, the struggles that we faced in the dark
The trials and pain, the loneliness and simmering rage
All to shape us into the person that we are today because

Cause I got the keys the keys to change my life
And follow my dreams now
And they don't believe believe but that's alright
I'm putting in work now

Cause I got the keys the keys to change my life
And follow my dreams now
And they don't believe believe but that's alright
I'm putting in work now
