Lyrics
Verse 1 (a.i)
Welcome to the lethal land
Where the people stand tall
With they hearts covered by they weakened hand
Pledge allegiance to a flag
Allegiance to a mask
Allegiance to a black bag
Dragged in the grass
Gunshots in the back
Welcome to another day
Welcome to a face full of fear
Tears in crevice of the crease
Roll like a Chevy down the cheeks
Of another mother
Welcome to the streets
Welcome to the triggers released
Welcome to the run fast y’all better retreat
Welcome to the land of the weak
Home of afraid divided we are
United we slaves
Welcome to the lies that they laid
The lies that we held and embraced
The lie that brought hell when we tasted
Fruit look good before you naked
Welcome to the leaves
In autumn we fall
But welcome to the spring
He offered the cross
For the filthy and lost
But welcome to the people who don’t believe in Yeshua
They rather lather in sewage
They soak and bathe in manure
So welcome to the heart of man
Tossed to and fro
Shackled by our own madness
Our own tactics
Our hearts calloused
Kill flesh do a closed casket
Verse 2 (LaToria)
(Somebody gimme grace..)
Peace to the homie Dru Bex
it took a man from Canada to come and do it
He seen the need for queens to be an influence
cleared off his own track and made the space for us to get into it
Give yourself a chance to listen
Your about to be a witness
of all These flavors of female MCs collectively given you the business
(for years) hip hop has treated women in a way that they certainly don’t deserve
(for years) hip hop has left most of the women with any sense of virtue undeserved
Y’all try to act like we don’t be spitting
sleeping on us like we don’t be Lit and
G-d told me go don’t need your permission
Taking the hard route was our decision
rapping this word you can call it gifting
This is when Hip-Hop meets estrogen and
Yall missing out on the benefits
yaaaaaas booo we so feminine!
But the industry won’t put us on
its kinda like a prophet not finding respect in his own home
Here’s what I know tho
Abba made a lane for us anyway we can’t quit
he gave us a gift… for such a time as this, we just waiting on more saints to get it
been doing this work…for over 10 years best believe Im committed
See We’re trying influence your daughters towards maturity instead of morphing into Barbie dolls
Say what you want but I’m going as far as the Father allows on these grown woman bars (LT)
Verse 3 (Kai)
See where I’m from the cookies they selling don’t come with no cream
But if you playing wit they cream, then they gon make you sing
With that metal in your face like you a supreme
Make you wish it was a Big song, it was all a dream
Gave my life to Christ, now I see a different world, Whitley
I love Him ‘cause He loved me first, I’ll always love Him, Whitney
Breaking generational curses, it’s painful but worth it
Giving hope & making history, you can call it Sidney
I’m called to shine my light so you know I stay litty
livin pGnm, you ain’t gotta feel me
If you try me you gon try these hands, nah I’m just kidding
I ain’t worried ‘bout you ‘cause the angel armies wit me
I ain’t focused on my enemy, foot stool
Gotta create the waves, whirlpool
I humbled myself and He exalted me, and
Now they like ok I see you, you betta, you betta… (girl you)
And I know it’s cause of Mary that I’m high
But the Mary I’m talking bout ain’t bring Jane she bore Jesus
I admitted believed confessed and received em
You know the high I’m talking bout if you got em believe me
He da best but now I see a major key, is
I was blind to my sin, you could have called me Stevie
But now I’m cooking for the king, chef flow ardee
when the Spirit write ya lyrics it’s easy
Verse 4 (Kay Sade)
Cool night and full moon typing down thoughts
Pull tighter on my hoodie strings while I walk
Never draw too much attention, screen is on the dimmest setting
Dinner waiting if I make it in the trenches on my way with sinners aiding and abetting
Clicking sensors on around my head detecting movement
I exude light through the gloom like pollutant
That’s a prime target for goons but in truth, they could use an encounter with the new kid
I zoom like uh two tires that’s iced over on a blue fire
Might lean in and Cruz by ya
Like Dizzee with the graffiti
Paint heaven’s mansions so Rumi
Got angels wanting to keep me
But give me back for the music
Operation truth…But I can make em juke
Oddly I be staying glued…but God be making moves
Coasting operator smooth
From Chi to LA out to Newark
Carry good around the bricks
Till it be the New Jerus
Only truth’ll hold me down and set me free
The paradox’ll keep me going follow me
The navigator yeah navigating seas, in my Netscape green
You can bet I’m a mess made clean
If the truth makes you sweat get your mesh
KnuBlack on the track then it’s fresh
And respect these queens
Archetypical originators but essence of hidden blessings and figures
It’s time you got a lesson, bro.
