Welcome

Yah
Latto
Breezy

Chorus
Welcome to America the home of the brave
Where we pop pop Black folk everyday
Where the boast and braggadocio get in the way
Where it’s dog eat dog no scrap for the stray
Welcome to America see us misbehave
Profilin, redlinin just part of the game
Thieves in the big house, no need to name names
Nation burnin up covered in flames

Verse 1
Kaepernick kneels he the black glove fist its
Affixed to Olympic Gold-medal winner Tommie Smith
Can’t expect those owners to be magnanimous
Coded policy vote was unanimous
Don’t even get me angered bout the star-spangled banner
Our salt-in-the-wound U.S. national anthem
[”I quote”]
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave”
[“End quote”]
You kidding me? Country gettin off on slave graves?
And why we watchin football anyway?
It’s like take a knee, pay a fee, CTE, injury,
It’s the straight up denial of Black humanity
Yo keep pushin back boys, we most of the league
Silent walkout low key via DM on IG

Chorus
Welcome to America the home of the brave
Where we pop pop Black folk everyday
Where the boast and braggadocio get in the way
Where it’s dog eat dog no scrap for the stray
Welcome to America see us misbehave
Profilin, redlinin just part of the game
Thieves in the big house, no need to name names
Nation burnin up, covered in flame

Verse 2
Yo you can have my spot I don’t want it anyway
Other countries out there where they ain’t puttin kids in a cage
Better wage hate bein broke as a joke everyday
I wanna breathe but they choke my airway
Ain’t no half-steppin out from the clouds
I ain’t got no rainboots all I got is a jacket
Maybe I’ll give you a laughin if you givin me that loud
Otherwise I can’t help but philosophize a racket
What’s America to you? To me it’s stars and bars,
A four finger salute to lootin cash in a suit
Cars and early july eatin pie filled with fruit
It’s poppin all dem pills fed to you by the pharmaceut-
ical I’m prayin wit my hands clasped I can save my mental
The Doc put vibranium all up in my dental
So now I’m gonna slay like the Dora Milaje
Got my hair picked out, Angela Day Day
Colorism prisms all up in the patriarchy
Tinsel America, lies and malarchy

Chorus
Welcome to America the home of the brave
Where we pop pop Black folk everyday
Where the boast and braggadocio get in the way
Where it’s dog eat dog no scrap for the stray
Welcome to America see us misbehave
Profilin, redlinin just part of the game
Thieves in the big house, no need to name names
Nation burnin up, covered in flame
