letra de welcome to detox - micah bournes

[chorus]
i got nothin but love for the rappers that raised me
showed me that i could be black and amazing
gave me confidence to rise from the pavement
but ima give you what the doc never gave me
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
don’t wait till ya soul grow colder
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
bout time that the boys get sober

[verse 1]
black masculinity
riddled with much complexity
hated, emasculated
we beatin our chest reflexively
raid our communities
remove us from our families
detain us up in cages then claiming
we just some absentee
lovers and fathers
embarrassed we can’t excel
in a system created to guarantee that we fail
middle finger to cops
we disregarding authority
obeyin’ racist law sustains our inferiority
ain’t gainin nothin by remainin’ in line
but screamin’ revolution and they aim at your life
we catchin deucy deuces from the left and the right
they treat us like a nuisance even when we do right
[chorus]
i got nothin but love for the rappers that raised me
showed me that i could be black and amazing
gave me confidence to rise from the pavement
but ima give you what the doc never gave me
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
don’t wait till ya soul grow colder
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
bout time that the boys get sober

[verse 2]
been fightin for equality
still we hungry and broke
the revolution is losing
we through wit this bein po
hustle and paper chasin
puff puff on some medication
hug up on a couple ladies
you forget your woes
never beat the system
we might as well get to pimpin
might as well get to trappin
might as well get to spittin
bout this ghetto existence
and maybe make us a million
yeah our people still dyin
but least our mommas is livin
large we pray to god
we know the lord be forgiving
did what we had to do
with jokers that we was given
understand you my brothas
i never will be condemnin
but there is another vision
a kingdom among the remnants
[chorus]
i got nothin but love for the rappers that raised me
showed me that i could be black and amazing
gave me confidence to rise from the pavement
but ima give you what the doc never gave me
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
don’t wait till ya soul grow colder
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
bout time that the boys get sober

[verse 3]
this ain’t no pull yo pants up
and get you a hair cut
assimilation never made
racists treat us just
don’t bow to the supremacy
it’s a spiritual test
only way to climb the ladder
when every level is rigged
sell your soul for the cheddar
or listen to god’s plan
use a different definition
of being a real man
ambitious but never vicious
what good is ya gold
if your riches saturated
wit the blood of the po’
wanna ball like your oppressor
gotta steal how they stole
cuttin corners compromising
all the truth that you know
shark tank cut throat
wicked road to the top
but that ain’t the economics
of the children of god
it’s time to reconsider
the way we possess power
purifying ambition of masculine
gone sour
the greatest should be
serving the least and the left out
welcome to detox
check your ego at the counter
[chorus]
i got nothin but love for the rappers that raised me
showed me that i could be black and amazing
gave me confidence to rise from the pavement
but ima give you what the doc never gave me
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
don’t wait till ya soul grow colder
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
bout time that the boys get sober

[outro]
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
don’t wait till ya soul grow colder
welcome to detox
welcome to detox
bout time that the boys get sober
