about

"Welcome Home" is the first single of E-Sential's mixtape "Kingdom Cuts". Each artist tells a story about their sinful past, and how God, despite their flaws, welcomed them into His family to be His children.

lyrics

(Verse 1 - E-Sential)
I remember swervin' in a ride,
With my homies all blunted up,
Swisher got me on another level,
Like I'm runnin' stuff,
Cadillac cruizin' on the strip,
Got me feelin' fresh,
With my posse by my side,
We livin' in the North West,
Confined by the bud smoke,
Had my eyes blood red,
Numb to the words of The Lord,
I'de rather puff instead,
Rather fill my cup to the top,
That's what I always said,
But through The Lord we put it to the stop,
'Cuz that'll leave me dead,
Leave me stuck in ruts,
Like a tire that's got no tread,
Like a brutha runnin' 'round in circles,
'Steada straight ahead,
The blood of Jesus got me cleaner then I've tried to be,
My sight is on The Lord and what He did for me on calvary,
In all actuality,
Life ain't 'bout my salary,
Life's about relationship with Christ,
Not them sacks of weed,
Drugs had me trapped like I was stuck up in a faculty,
But God opened up the door,
And now I'm truly set free.

(Chorus - James Julius)
I was so strung out,
Takin' fifths to the dome,
In my zone,
I was blown,
I was so far gone,
But The King scooped me out,
Ya He came to atone,
Left His throne,
And I heard Him say,
"Son Welcome Home".
(Repeat)

(Verse 2 - Great Dame)
It's been a long time comin',
I'm feelin' like Sam Cook,
So many changes in my story like pages out of a book,
I'm like Darren Williams on the court,
Demons gettin' shook,
I got faith like potatoes,
I'm takin' a second look,
Down to ride to the end,
If we fall, we stand up stronger,
Coulda lost hope in this life,
If things took longer,
But Heaven moved,
Down on my path to bring me up,
Holy water pourin' out of the sky,
I drink it up,
No more wild night chasin',
Or smokin' in the basement,
Lonely nights sippin' that syrup,
Are replaced with,
A high life, joy that will never come down,
Countin' everything I lost,
For the Truth that I found,
Daily fallin' on my knees,
Askin' God to forgive,
All my sins in this broke down world that we live,
I'm ashamed of some of the cold things that I did,
I thank Jesus for His grace,
Paved a way for The Kid.

(Chorus - James Julius)

(Verse 3 - TRUe)
I could remember late November back in 05,
Pops died,
Straight denied the feelin' that I had inside,
Seein' the tears roll down from my sisters face,
Little brother lookin' stunned,
The oldest one with a bad taste, (That's Me),
Like, "Wheres God?",
And why He have to do this?,
If it's another lesson,
I don't wanna be a student,
I'm skippin' class in that a4,
Lego,
And find a spot where we can kick back and get higher than the eagles,
It's adios amigos,
You can't go where me goes,
Too many questions in my mind,
Feel like I'm countin' zeros,
These things ain't addin' up,
So how can I say you're my hero?,
I got this ice box,
My heart is colder than sub-zero,
Had many years beside myself,
It's time to take a breather,
So Lord I'm still believing 'cuz you're showin' me your features,
Before I didn't understand,
Like, "Why I care if I'm holy?",
Then He revealed himself,
"MY DECISION SET YOU FREE".

(Chorus - James Julius)
