01.) Jordan Copas - Welcome (Lyrics)

WELCOME

VERSE 1: 
black hip hop what they told me white boy better get up out 
on the come up as a young buck i was color blind man no doubt 
embraced by the streets and the hood life dont call me the average joe 
white boy with the flow and the fro in the middle of the school with a basketball 
he could do his thing yeah the boy had game but he got made fun of bad 
misunderstood he wanted to be good life beat him down and hes sad 
so young with the pressures pilling up he aint have what the others had 
new shoes nice clothes and all the cool stuff and he really missed out on dad 
can you hear the cries from the forgotten ones who been through the pain and strife 
they walk alone and they dont talk much some of them may take they life 
thats where im from and thats who i be thats why i can point them out 
be the voice for the ones who dont talk on the mountaintop i shout 
deliver us freedom where you at these people dont know whats next 
im a tiger dude carver whats up shout out to the old projects 
423 that was my home aye memphis tn whats happennin 
all around on the road full grind boy be traveling



HOOK:  
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
ive had a hard time surely not the best of men 
ladies and gentlemen .. welcome
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
hope is a good thing and it will never die 
faith given to the poor man who had some blind eyes



VERSE 2: 
i can see the sign i can hear the voice calling my name in the pitch dark 
when im all alone and the noise is off i find myself trying to find the mark 
the bullseye is what i want to hit but deep down inside im a failure 
gotta rise above stand up dont sit ima warrior you a player 
playing these games with the peoples minds you mess them up and they get hurt 
ima fight ima push kick and punch in the battlefield without my shirt 
its blood stained and got ripped up my mind is the biggest enemy 
pride swells up and i hold a grudge rage ran over humility 
God bless your soul get your mind straight i dont wanna be rich own estates 
Lord take my hate i dont wanna be left out them pearly gates 
ive been told to settle down but it aint in my comfort zone 
i get around like tupac shakur moving like a man with no home 
i gotta remember sweet cindy yeah she helped me a ton 
last words she told me i love you stay out of trouble son 
her and the family took me in when i had no where to go 
love was given to an unloved kid it was so hard to see her go



HOOK:  
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
ive had a hard time surely not the best of men 
ladies and gentlemen .. welcome
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
hope is a good thing and it will never die 
faith given to the poor man who had some blind eyes



VERSE 3: 
love is so good it reminds me of that day that i fell down on the street 
car broke down i was so drunk and i stumbled up into calvary 
i was so gone i was so lost but i left that place up on my feet 
love was given to an unloved man now i spread it up on this beat 
like rain pouring over your head some days gunna be hard to see the sun 
when it hits the fan you gotta lay it down you aint the only one 
like granny said with tears coming down its gonna be alright 
keep your head to the sky and trust in god he'll bring you through the night 
running this race against the grain oh my lord i can feel the pain 
i been on my grizzy grind sprinting this track im the train 
a wreck of a mess you see me swat away lust you go flee 
step it up be a man toughen up you be 
a doulos a servant you go out and earn it 
work hard go out and make relationships its urgent 
these rappers they be faking these people has been taken 
but my faith in the Lord is unstoppable never shaken



HOOK:  
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
ive had a hard time surely not the best of men 
ladies and gentlemen .. welcome
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
you can hate me or love me ima follow the man 
hope is a good thing and it will never die 
faith given to the poor man who had some blind eyes
