Welcome yeah it's been a long minute

Let me break it down now if ya'll still with it

First time I did it yeah I'll admit it

I kinda hit it and quit it and left ya'll hanging

Sang it kinda off key with a passion

Asking can I give you back that action

Yeah I'ma blast in a hashtag fashion

To spell it out for you like a mass closed caption

Get a closed casket fade to black

This is my spot that I'm taking back

Get at me punk I was made for that

Ya'll don't really even know what you aiming at

So far back what you waving at

Ya'll can't see the stage that I'm playing at

Ya'll hating that but that's why I do it

So tell me where the haters at

'Cause I don't need their blessing now

I don't need their invitation

Ain't no way to shut me down

Or to take this path I've taken

And maybe I've been left out

Never let this be mistaken

They can keep that blessing now forget me now

'Cause I was never welcome

Yeah it's been a long road

Never really know how it all unfold

I'm just trying hard not to sell my soul

When the rest want guns and a mouth full of gold

I don't hate 'em I still love 'em

That's not me I'm not judging

Not below 'em not above 'em

But disrespect me well then 'em

This a house I'm living in

Ya'll just pass through visiting

I draw these lines ya'll fill 'em in

I'm a grown a** man y'all children

No competition I'm killing them

Talking 'bout him and him and him

Let's take it out for another spin again

And I don't give a if I win again

'Cause I don't need their blessing now

I don't need their invitation

Ain't no way to shut me down

Or to take this path I've taken

And maybe I've been left out

Never let this be mistaken

They can keep that blessing now

Forget me now

'Cause I was never welcome

No

I was never welcome

No no

No no no

I was never welcome

No no

I was never welcome

No no

I don't need their blessing now

I don't need their invitation

Ain't no way to shut me down

Or to take this path I've taken

And maybe I've been left out

Never let this be mistaken

They can keep that blessing now

Forget me now

'Cause I was never welcome

I was never welcome

No

I was never welcome

No no

I was never welcome

I was never welcome

No

I was never welcome

I was never welcome
