LECRAE - Welcome To America lyrics
rate me(Intro)
Ladies & gentlemen, good afternoon from the flight deck
We're cruisin' at 37,000 feet, and we just passed ova the coast
We'll be beginnin' our descent in about 30 minutes
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome ya 2 America
(Verse)
I was made in America, land of the free, home of the brave
& right up under yo nose ya might see a sex slave bein' traded
& we'll do anythin' for the money, boy, a momma might sell her babies
Sell porn, sell pills anythin' to pay the bills
Anythin' to bring that paper got to scratch that itch
Gotta scratch them ticks ain’t rich, but I might be
& I'mma shoot these flicks I'mma turn these tricks
Anythin' for a slight fee, made in America
Moma told me that I belong here
Had to earn our stripes had to learn all rights
Had to fight for a home here
But I wouldn't know a thing about that
All I know is drugs & rap
I probably could have been sum' kind of doctor
Instead of holdin' guns & crack
I was born in the mainland
Greatgrandpa from a strange land
He was stripped away & given bricks to lay
I guess ya could say he was a slave hand
But I was made in america
So I don’t know a thing about that
All I know is uncle sam lookin' for me workin' on his corner so I know I gotta pay tax
Getting paid in America, I was raised in America
& this is all I eva known
If I’m wrong then ya betta come save me America
(Hook)
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Welcome 2 America Welcome 2 America
Welcome 2 America Welcome 2 America
Welcome 2 America
(Verse 2)
Man I’d die for America, I served my time for America
Got shot shot back went to war
Got back & ain’t nobody give a jack in America
I could lost my life boy I lost my wife
I can’t even get right in my home land
Cold sweats, hold Tecs paranoid
Lookin' out for a threat in own land I was trained in America
How they get up in them planes in America flew 'em right into the buildings
Takin' out civilians, people gettin' killed in America
& I’m still in America
Tho America ain’t feelin' me I went to war for this country
Turn around came home & ya drilling me
When y’all free here saying ya don’t wanna be here
Well ya probably couldn't breathe here if I didn’t load a couple magazines here
Y’all just complain in America
I’m jumpin' out of military planes from America
Aye I was made in America
Thats why I’m out here savin' America
I got a brother in the cemetery now
Cuz he wanted y’all safe
& errybody want the freedom but nobody want to hear about faiths
We bled for America 2 keep y’all fed in America
But whats the point of talkin' a lot of y’all don’t really even care America
(Hook)
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
Welcome 2 America Welcome 2 America
Welcome 2 America Welcome 2 America
Welcome 2 America
(Verse 3)
I wish I lived in America, want to raise my kids in america
Heard errybody rich all I gotta do is run jump kick
I'm a hit in yo area, so please pick me America
I know ya probably neva loved me
Ya neva hear about me on the news
& you’ve probably neva been to my country
I hear ya sellin' education & got clothes that ya throw away
Got plenty food in yo nation
I can tell cuz a lotta y’all are ova weight
I already work for y’all
I’m at a sweatshops makin' these shirts for y’all
Naw I ain’t getting money
Go to bed hungry but I make sum' exports for y’all
Y’all don’t know a thing about that
Ya was made in America, I’m tryna find me a ticket
Where the sky is the limit catch a plane to America
It should be plain to America, y’all blessed people got it made
Heard y’all don’t play no mo', y’all ain’t saved no mo'
Y’all lookin' for another way, well, I hope it ain’t true
But I’m packin' my suit, farewell to my mother land
Said bye to my loved ones, fate here I come I’m gone to another land
I done made it to America, I’m amazed at America
But I couldn’t get approval 2 stay so they sent me away from America
