Lecrae, Dre Murray, Wit and Dre Murray, Von Won, Shei Atkins - Welcome to H-Town II lyrics

Welcome to H Town, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa
They say the boy's ridin' clean
But without the King
What does it really mean
Cup full of lean, got a sweet full of green
Wake up, boy this ain't a dream
Welcome to H Town, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa
I’m praying for H Town, yeah, yeah
Welcome to H Town whoa, yeah

Roaming ‘round the earth
Thinking ‘bout my city
Yeah the place of my birth
Every time I hear the name I
Get a pain in my shirt
Right next to my heart like
A flame and it hurts
Ignored it at first but
Now I think it’s something I must address
The right spot to get this
Thing off of my chest
The caged bird won’t be able
To sing until it rests
If you just give me a chance to explain
I’ll do my best
Explain to you why I left, He orders my steps
To expound any further would be
A waste of breath
The story’s a little bit more than it seems
It has some depth
It’s like I haven’t waken up from a dream
Quiet is kept
Nevertheless baby I love H Town
Pray for my city when my knees hit the ground
I pray you find a savior like I did, H Town
‘Cause when He come through
Man it’s going down

I was born in H Town, starched down way back
When them slabs in the city beat
That screw off in the back
Poking eye, keep them spinners
Eating Frenchy's chicken dinner
Family came from 3rd Ward Scott
Street on up to Ennis
Hanging out on Sunnyside with my cousin Corey
They was on that purple Sprite
I was still sipping 40s
Keke's still pimpin' stories as
I'm passing by Yates
Stop and wonder if I'll
Ever enter Heaven's gates
I told my cousin D at TSU "I smoke trees
I think the Lord is calling me
Both of us are agree"
And, man, I love the city of my birth
That's why I plea
That God will change the H
Same way He's changing me!
'Cause all I cared about was riding clean
A pocket full of green, and find a bad yellow
I can put up on my team
My bros riding dirty
Know your soul ain't clean
Aye gon' let the Lord intervene!
I'm praying for H Town

Welcome to H Town, yeah, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa, yeah
They say the boy's ridin' clean
Fresh up on the scene but without the King
What does it really mean?
Cup full of lean, got a sweet full of green
Wake up, boy this ain't a dream
Welcome to H Town, yeah yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa, yeah
I’m praying for H Town, yeah, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa, yeah

I had a dream on the plane that
I was sitting in the slabs
Seat back, face up
Chunkin deuce and givin dap
Talking to my patnas 'bout this
Plans that I have
When I told them "Oklahoma" mayne
Them boys just laughed, like
"Where there at, folk? " "man
You've been joking" "yeah, you
But you ain't get dope"
It's like they didn't understand
Me I've been that hope trying to serve God
They want me serve the things with that dope
A job while we flat broke
Pass the kill and as I got higher
That's when I started to feel "dawg
We smoking kill"
I backed away from the killa
He picked up my life and
My vision got clearer
Destiny is screamin it's fate
But I hear her, things are bad right now
But the man in the mirror is
Trying to make a change
Rearrange some things
H Town, I still love you, hold up, mayne

Welcome to H Town

Welcome to H Town, yeah, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa, yeah
They say the boy's ridin' clean
Fresh up on the scene but without the King
What does it really mean?
Cup full of lean, got a sweet full of green
Wake up, boy this ain't a dream
Welcome to H Town, yeah, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa, yeah
I’m praying for H Town, yeah, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa, yeah

Welcome to H Town
