Tiwa Savage & Mr Eazi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But you won't open your eyes
Omo oba ma gbagbe
Ranti oruko baba e, ohh
Tick tock, pretty baby
You can get it back, don't you waste it
To grow from your past, gotta face it
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
Oh, 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
Here some things you have to know
It go hard for man to grow
When you feel you've had enough
You gotta breathe
Just remember who you are
You forget, look to the stars
Even the strong get weak
But you're the key, you're the key
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)
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
Oh, 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 (zagadat)
Just like the tree, just like the Chinese bamboo tree
See, eyes wide nuh see the greatness inside you
That lies within
Oya, come sit pon your throne
You know you not gon' stay down for long
Whenever in doubt and alone
Just remember that the king inna the kingdom
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 (back, don't you waste it)
To grow from your past, gotta face it
Oh yeah (you're the key to the kingdom)
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
Oh, 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
See how the sun and the moon bow for you?
The lyrics to "Keys to the Kingdom" by Tiwa Savage seem to be a motivational message to empower and encourage the listener. The opening line "See how the sun and the moon bow for you?" represents the notion of the universe acknowledging one's greatness and potential. Yet, the person being addressed remains unaware of their power and capabilities, refusing to "open their eyes." The phrase "Omo oba ma gbagbe, ranti oruko baba e" translates to "Child of the king, don't forget to remember the name of your father." This line could be interpreted as a reminder to stay grounded and aware of one's roots and heritage while pursuing success.
Throughout the song, the theme of time is present, with phrases such as "Tick tock, pretty baby" and "To grow from your past, gotta face it." The lyrics encourage the listener to use their time wisely, not to waste it, and to confront their past to learn and grow from it. The chorus reinforces the idea that the listener is the "key to the kingdom" and possesses the power to manifest their destiny. It reminds them that even when they feel alone or don't believe in themselves, they hold the key to their success.
Overall, the song is a call to action for the listener to embrace their power, potential and to take advantage of the time given to them. It portrays that even when life is tough, one must persevere, remember their roots and worth, and know that they are the key to their success.

"Find Your Way Back"
(from "The Lion King: The Gift" soundtrack)
Daddy used to take me walking down the street
Daddy used to take my hand, say "Follow me"
Daddy used to leave me back home all the time
I got big enough to run around, daddy left me outside
He said, "Find your way back
Big, big world, but you got it, baby
Find your way back, don't let this life drive you crazy
Find your way back
Come back home with the street lights on
Find your way back, find your way back"
Daddy used to tell me, "Look up at the stars
It's been a long time, but remember who you are
Circle of life, but one day, I might not make it
Circle of life, but one day, I might not make it"
"But you just got to find your way back
Big, big world, but you got it, baby
Find your way back, don't let this life drive you crazy
Find your way back
Come back home with the street lights on
Find your way back, find your way back"
Daddy used to teach me all my moves
Run around wild, had to tie my shoes
Itty bitty child with a smile like you
Wild, wild child look a lot like you
Daddy used to teach me all my tricks
Run around wild, had to get my fix
Daddy used to teach me all my plays
On a marathon, had to run my race
"Find your way back
Big, big world, but you got it, baby
Find your way back, don't let this life drive you crazy
Find your way back
Come back home with the street lights on
Find your way back, find your way back, yeah"

I got big enough to run around, daddy left me outside
He said, "Find your way back
Big, big world, but you got it, baby
Find your way back, don't let this life drive you crazy
Find your way back, come back home 'fore the street lights on
Find your way back, find your way back"
Daddy used to tell me, "Look up at the stars
It's been a long time, but remember who you are
Circle of life, but one day, I might not make it
