The Arrival Lyrics by KillaTooma

Vision Builds Kingdoms

2021

[Gwen: Mother]
It was Christmas Day, 1990 when I went into labor
And I was admitted to the hospital
A little after 6PM he was delivered
Weighing in at 9lbs, 10 and a half ounces

Ugh

[Chorus 1]
Once I ruled Addis Ababa
I am the Exodus from Trench Town, yeah
Once I rose in Crenshaw, ah huh
I am no pretender, nah
And that’s since the placenta
The world been mine from since I enter, ah hah
Miracle baby out of Bethlehem
I come to prophecy like in Jerusalem, ah hah
They sending praisе when they hear thе name, me
And it’s never ‘bout the fame, it wasn’t me to claim, nah
When the vision shoot a frame, it’ll take you down a lane
That belong to I, all I did was ask me, “why?”

[Verse 1]
The answer was the purpose
It ain’t it if you nervous
Respect to the forefront
Heat check, this the thermos
As my deeds come around like a merry-go
Plotting my endeavors as the time expires very slow
It’s necessary thought, must win before my burial
Take care of my parents and make sure my daughters’ bellies full
Ivy League educated, not to just say I made it
Even though some going hate it
I want this memory faded
And now my mansion’s gated
Gold, never plated, gold
All my bills I paid it
I’m the Sun, never shaded
I’m the one, I am HIM
Excellence in my skin
Stay on point like a pin
I am bound for the win, ah hah

[Chorus 2]
Once I ruled Addis Ababa
I am the Exodus from Trench Town, yeah
Once I rose in Crenshaw, ah huh
I am no pretender, nah
And that’s since the placenta
The world been mine from since I enter, ah hah
Miracle baby out of Bethlehem
I come to prophecy like in Jerusalem, ah hah
They sending praise when they hear the name, me
And it’s never ‘bout the fame, it wasn’t me to claim, nah
When the vision shoot a frame, it’ll take you down a lane
That belong to I, all I did was ask me, “why?”

[Gwen: Mother]
A little later on, when he was about a year and a half or so
He would be drumming everywhere on any object
His babysitter “Mommy George” would call to say that this child drums and sings all day
“He takes my pots and pans and then turn them into drums; I can’t take the noise”
So that Christmas she bought him a drum
Because she could not put up with the noise any longer
But she wants him to learn what he loves, and pursue what he loves

Ah hah
Ah hah

Ah hah
