Lecrae - Welcome to H-Town II lyrics

[Hook: Von Won] 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 [Verse 1: Dre Murray] 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 [Verse 2: Lecrae] 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 pa**ing 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 [Hook 2: Von Won & Shei Atkins] 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 [Verse 3: Dre Murray] 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 Pa** the k**. And as I got higher, that's when I started to feel "dawg, we smoking k**" I backed away from the k**a, 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 [Bridge: Shei Atkins] [4x] Welcome to H-Town [Hook: Von Won] 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?
