Welcome - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Uh Uh Uh Uh

It was October, couple years ago now

Weather just started gettin’ colder

I’m just doin’ what I know, goin’ with the flow

Watchin’ everybody else get older

Middle of the night, got a visit from an angel

Woke me outta deep sleep, guess I wasn’t faithful

But I needed woken up, got my vision broken up

Flyin’ like I’m on a face full

My eyes lit up when I saw where he brought me

The skies lit up with the lights in the lobbies

Buildings touched the sky and I wondered why

A place like this, nobody ever taught me

About the cities, now my neighborhood seemed dead

Suddenly I’m back in my bed

New music in my headphones, Pac, Biggie and Snoop on

The angel turned around, looked at me, and he said

[Hook]

Welcome to the future, uh

Welcome to the future

[Verse 2]

Uh Uh Uh Uh

Next time he came around I was already awake

Been thinkin’ for a while ‘bout how I spent my day

But I couldn’t wait anymore, angel opened the door

I said “Good Mornin,’” I been tryna do like Ye

This time he took me past the windows and the buildings

To the ground, I saw the streetlights, felt the feelings

As as I flew down third my vision quickly blurred

Tears in my eyes as I passed by millions

I saw a different type of attitude:

A past life subdued, a real life renewed

Stressin’ hoops and fades instead of coupes and grades

The simple life in my eyes had a brand new magnitude

Wondered what I really had to fear

If it took a month or two for it all to be clear

Back in my home I didn’t feel so alone

Angel turned and left the room and took with him a few years sayin’

[Hook]

Welcome to the future, uh

Welcome to the future

[Verse 3]

Last time I ever saw him was a couple months ago

He was caught in my peripherals, movin’ slow

Almost lookin’ hesitant, always lookin’ elegant

Like the lines I been writin’, perfect flow

Rappin’ on these tagged beats, reminisce on family

His job was done, not a angel of Christianity

But he knew I was converted, my allegiance inverted from

Peter Panity to reppin’ bliss and vanity

And so he left me to my mind

All these pictures and songs forever intertwined

Filled with new vigor, the world’s a lot bigger

When you take the dark glasses off and you ain’t blind

So now I’m lookin’ through my rear-view - the world is a game

Livin’ life at a fast pace, waitin’ for the day

Me and my angel collide, i'ma open my arms wide

Introduce him to my world and say

[Hook x2]

Welcome to the future, uh

Welcome to the future, uh, yeah

Welcome to the future, uh

Welcome to the future, uh uh uh uh uh
